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 91%, magic by 35%, fire by 60% and lightning by 60%. Starts with 52 stability. Stability controls the stamina spent on a block, separately from health damage that gets through.

Reinforce to +15 with ordinary Titanite materials. On this path, stability rises from 52 to 65; the listed damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11.

Enter the painting in Anor Londo with the Peculiar Doll and reach the central courtyard.
Defeat the shield-and-spear Phalanx group around the monument and inspect their drops. Open the courtyard gate shortcut to the bonfire for repeated attempts.

Notes

Requirements and weight: Requires 7 Strength and weighs 1.5.
Blocking at base reinforcement: Reduces blocked physical damage by 91%, magic by 35%, fire by 60% and lightning by 60%. Starts with 52 stability. Stability controls the stamina spent on a block, separately from health damage that gets through.
Parrying: Can parry with the left-hand strong input. A successful parry opens an eligible enemy to a riposte with your attacking weapon; it does not make every attack parryable.
Reinforcement: Reinforce to +15 with ordinary Titanite materials. On this path, stability rises from 52 to 65; the listed damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11.
Conversion choices: Magic, Fire and Lightning conversions change attack damage and the corresponding elemental guarding instead of continuing the normal path's stability improvements. Divine adds Faith-scaled magical attack damage, rather than Faith-scaled blocking. Crystal can improve stability on suitable shields but sharply reduces durability and prevents ordinary repairs.
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.
Lightweight guarding: Weighs only 1.5 and has 52 base stability, but 91% physical reduction still lets some damage through. It is not complete physical protection despite being larger than Small Leather Shield.
