Weapon behavior

Strength scaling affects shield attack damage, not its damage-blocking percentages. Extra Strength does not improve stability once the requirements are met.

Reinforcement and comparison

Reduces blocked physical damage by 100%, magic by 90%, fire by 80% and lightning by 80%. Starts with 84 stability. Stability controls the stamina spent on a block, separately from health damage that gets through.

Reinforce to +5 with Twinkling Titanite. Reinforcement improves attack damage, but stability stays at 84 and the normal damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Has no elemental conversion paths.

In-game description

Weapon type: Greatshield
Attack type: Strike

Greatshield of the legendary Havel the Rock.
Cut straight from a great slab of stone.
This greatshield is imbued with the magic
of Havel, provides strong defense, and is
incredibly heavy. A true divine heirloom
on par with the Dragon Tooth.

Where to find

Chest pickup

Anor Londo

Requirements

  • Reach the interior bonfire where Solaire sits.
  1. Leave the bonfire room and follow the ground-floor corridor past the Silver Knight. Enter the side room containing a fireplace.
  2. Strike or roll into the wall at the back of the fireplace to reveal a staircase. Descend to the hidden equipment room.
  3. Open the ordinary chests for Havel's equipment and Dragon Tooth, including the chest holding the greatshield. The separate chest in this room is a Mimic holding an Occult Club.

Notes

  • Requirements and weight: Requires 50 Strength and weighs 26.
  • Blocking at base reinforcement: Reduces blocked physical damage by 100%, magic by 90%, fire by 80% and lightning by 80%. Starts with 84 stability. Stability controls the stamina spent on a block, separately from health damage that gets through.
  • Reinforcement: Reinforce to +5 with Twinkling Titanite. Reinforcement improves attack damage, but stability stays at 84 and the normal damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Has no elemental conversion paths.
  • Attack scaling: Strength scaling affects shield attack damage, not its damage-blocking percentages. Extra Strength does not improve stability once the requirements are met.
  • Temporary shield spells: Magic Shield and Strong Magic Shield can temporarily strengthen the left-hand guard when cast with a catalyst in the right hand. They replace one another, and two-handing the other weapon removes the shield enchantment. These are different from resins and melee weapon-enchantment spells.
  • Weight and guarding: Requires 50 Strength and weighs 26. The 90% magic reduction is unusually high alongside full ordinary physical protection, but carrying this shield makes a substantial contribution to equip load.
  • Stone-body action: Its special action gives a temporary stone-body effect with increased poise and heavy attack deflection for 30 seconds. It needs the Strength requirement and consumes 300 durability from a maximum of 500. It replaces the usual left-hand special attack and is not a parry.
  • Repair before reuse: One special use spends more than half its full durability. Repair before relying on repeated activations; reinforcing the shield does not increase its fixed 84 stability.
