Black Steel Greatshield is a Greatshield in Elden Ring. It is a brand new Greatshield in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Black Steel Greatshield is a Shield that scales primarily with Strength. Greatshields weigh a decent amount and provide the best protection in the game. Greatshields provide a greater value of blocking and protecting one's self from enemy and boss attacks but greatly increases the weight and reduces the player's mobility. This type of shield works best at reducing damage or guarding instead of parrying..

 

Weighty shields carried by the Black Knights, servants of Messmer the Impaler. Made of black steel with decorative embellishments in gold. Symbolic of their iron conviction in their crusade, the Black Knights will never yield. Nor will they ever doubt their purpose.

      Tip for 2nd phase of the final boss.
      With a holy infusion, this shield negates 100% PERCENT of holy damage, which is the majority of damage you take and completely blocks the explosions and laser bullshit.
      Tailor it to a shield-poke build with the greatshield talisman, stamina regen and the magic shield buff and it is more optimal than using fingerprint shield, letting you turtle the whole fight

          See, this is what shields need: specialization, a shield that is really good at a specific task.

          Now, the wiki ls off, it only has 77 guard boost at max upgrades, and in turn, all the other values are off too. Still, Golden Greatshield is the gold standard, and has 78 boost, so this new shield would be 'bad' since it's heavier for less boost -- if not for the fact it has crazy high holy resist. 84 holy resist is great if you're blocking holy attacks! You have 60-80% holy resist from buffs and armor, and then 84% from the shield, and now barely 3-5% of the damage is getting through. That's chip damage you can put up with! You can block holy attacks and be in a position to Guard Counter, rather than having to dodge+attack. Not to mention holy damage was super relevant during the DLC, so protection against it was amazing.

          Pull out a Visage Shield if you gotta protect from fire, pull out Black Steel if you gotta protect from Holy.

          This is what shields need, not "hey, this small shield blocks holy damage particularly well" and has 50% holy blocking. No, you need those chonky numbers like 80+, otherwise there's no reason not to use Brass, Golden, or Fingerprint.

              Powerstancing 2 of these should work like those big doors from Dark Souls....from my experience this is sadly not the case :(

                Confirming that the table currently is wrong for its guard boost as of this writing; June 27th 2024, 4:10 AM. It has 77 guard boost at +25 in standard.

                  This shield plus the Sword Lance and a ton of stamina is a pretty effective setup. As long as you periodically break away from bosses to get your stamina back, it's a pretty safe way to handle bosses. Also great for playing tank in jolly cooperation.

                    Very good against the last main boss of the DLC because of extreme holy resist and high guard boost without the extreme weight and strengh requirement of the frenzy or the verdigris shield

                      Is it possible to put "No Skill" ash of war on this greatshield or am I going to be stuck with shieldbash?

                        Aside from holy resist (and fashion), golden greatshield seems better in every way unless this has higher guard boost when fully upgraded.

                          I don't usually use shields much, but the combo of the brutal damage many enemies do in the DLC and this shield's awesome design...I kind of want to give a try to a big, burly knight is black armor build. They seriously nailed the aesthetics in the DLC, new armors and weapons look and feel so good, despite some minor shortcomings for certain boss designs and (I suck so there's that) slight overtuned damage especially on the later bosses.

                            I got the black steel greathammer from the black knight in the church and the boss in fog rift fort dropped the shield. I think it may be random which item you get from the knight at the church since I've seen people saying they got either from him. I'm assuming the boss at fog rift fort will drop the one you don't have yet. I've tried farming the black knight at castle ensis checkpoint for hours and just got armor, so it looks like all the black knight weapons/shields are found at specific locations.

                              To everyone asking where: besides what is already listed on the wiki, if you go to the Castle Ensis Checkpoint site of grace there is a Black Knight with his back turned to you. Once you get a hang of his moveset and build for critical hits/ bring a colossal weapon its a pretty easy farm.
