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 30%, fire by 72% and lightning by 48%. Starts with 56 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 56 to 70; 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.

In-game description

Weapon type: Shield
Attack type: Strike

Shield of the savage mountain bandits.
Uniquely-shaped with a large black spider
etched upon it.
Has resistance to poison.

Where to find

Starting equipment

Northern Undead Asylum

Requirements

Choose Bandit when creating the character.

Collect your class equipment on the Asylum tutorial route. An existing character cannot change starting class to claim this equipment.

Corpse pickup

Depths

Near the Depths entrance, clear the butcher's kitchen and break the containers behind the large table to reveal a drop.
Drop onto the ledge above the giant rat, rather than into the rat pit itself. Follow the edge to the corpse holding Spider Shield.
Collect the shield before dropping farther down. Defeating Gaping Dragon is not required for this pickup.

Corpse pickup

Valley of Drakes

Enter from the Darkroot Basin cave lift and approach the large stone bridge guarded by blue drakes near the New Londo floodgate.
Loot the corpse on the bridge for Spider Shield and bandit equipment. Draw the drakes away or clear them first so you can reach the corpse without being caught between their lightning attacks.

Notes

Requirements and weight: Requires 10 Strength and weighs 3.
Blocking at base reinforcement: Reduces blocked physical damage by 100%, magic by 30%, fire by 72% and lightning by 48%. Starts with 56 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 56 to 70; 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.
Poison and toxic blocking: Stops poison and toxic buildup from successfully blocked enemy attacks, including blowdarts. This does not prevent buildup from standing in the swamp, walking through a cloud or being hit from outside your guard. The same status protection does not apply to player attacks.
