Coil Shield | Elden Ring Wiki

Angry about serpentbone blade's lack of unique skill? Here's your solution!

making a **** arcane poison build using this its great

Submit

Genuinely fun to use this thing 2H as a regular weapon, all attacks except the AOW do pretty pitiful damage but it has that “deadly” poison build up and a surprisingly fun moveset, give it a shot maybe

Submit

Left hand coil shield to proc poison + Mushroom Crown (10%) + Millicent's Prosthesis (11% max) + Rotten Wing Sword Insignia (13%) + Kindred of Rot Exultation (20%) + two-hand Marais/Regalia = Brrr engine with 54% damage.

Is my math wrong or is that insane?

Submit

Semi-solid snake

Paradoxically not great for Arcane builds; you already have a million ways to poison people effectively so carrying this is kinda overkill. However it's AMAZING for non-Arc builds who want a fun tool to apply poison pressure without farming loads of poison materials, especially Int builds who tend to have low physical stats and no poison spell. Wearing the mushroom crown and kindred of rot exultation can give you a huge damage spike when you land the weapon art, again useful for builds lacking other ways to poison.

Submit

This thing can nearly instantly proc DP in one hit and has dummy range. The most underrated pressure tool in the game hands down.

Submit

great for my xavier renegade angel cosplay. you could also use grafted dragon

Submit

Pairs perfectly with the “short spear” as both have 10/10 str/dex requirement. Good backup melee for a caster, gives you some shield poke and guard counters, and the spear fits the gladiator vibe. Giant hunt on the spear can help set up humanoids for follow up spells.

Also, will poison crystalians in like 2 hits while doing great damage. Didn’t even know they could be poisoned.

Submit

@may19 700 to high 800 dmg at 80 str on +10 with D scaling but does insane amount of poison. Doubt the str has any effect on the damage even tho it should.

Submit

How big is the damage difference between max strenght and minimum strenght?

Submit

How well would this pair with the Sword of St. Trina? I've been thinking about using Viper Bite when my enemy is asleep...

Submit

did some testing, skill does 322 flat deadly poison buildup, doesnt scale with anything

Submit

Yes and since mages can no longer apply jelly shield and thrn dual staff for bonus, it makes for a good alternative for playstyle. Smh can't jelly buff then 2h anything or buffs is neglected lol

Submit

So, this shield is cool an' all, until you two hand your weapon and it looks like someone took a dump on your back.

Submit

it's so fun to use
even better with the Mushroom Crown and Kindred of Rot's Exultation talisman
it looks cool with the Raptor Talons or the Poison Claws since they look like snake fangs

Submit

Not a bad option to pop into a build for a little support. Absurdly good at procing deadly poison quickly, so starting out a fight with this and then doing your actual build is not a bad idea. If you have some spare equip load, give this thing a chance.

Submit

Keen nagakiba with poison moth flight + kindred of rots exultation and mushroom crown

Submit

In the natural world, hawks prey on snakes. Today, the tables have turned.

Submit

for real, imagine living in this setting and getting snake bit by a dude's shield, I'd give up right then and move to the swamp

Submit

Shockingly effective for such a seemingly gimmicky shield. Does respectable damage, has exceptional range, and doles out an enormous amount of deadly poison buildup per-hit. Since it pierces multiple opponents, it can be pretty useful for crowd-clearing, particularly in tight halls and corridors. Definitely take a good look at this if you want to spice gameplay up with a more unorthodox, utilitarian shield instead of just hard defense.

Submit

Using this off hand for a magic build for zero reason other than it’s fun to use. Become the magical snake.

Submit

Serpentbone katana w/ this in the off hand is really really fun

Submit

May not be great in PvE but it’s great in the new colosseum’s.

Submit

Where did this shield originate? I thought it was the middle of the Brongu tribe.

Submit

Snake eater

Submit

My question is, does it do poison or deadly poison? I need to know

Submit

You know, if coding wasn't incredibly hard for small indie game company, this would be really fun to use with a poison moth flight weapon thanks to the speed buffs. BUT because coding is incredibly hard for a little small time poverty stricken indie game company we have to go through the tedious process of two handing to gain access to the ash of war you want. I refuse to do this because it's idiotic. Why can't we have two dedicated keys for ashes of war one for each hand? ask small indie game company. I guess they ran out of buttons on the controller or whatever excuse you want to use to defend your godhood company for not putting in this incredibly easy quality of life feature into the game. It is what it is. Results being this never being used in any circumstance outside of challenge runs ever. Better stick to mimic tear and RoB it really is what it is fr. Hope it gets added and fixed when the DLCs come out (it wont)

Submit

seems to do instant damage to crystallians without needing to crack their armour first. discovered using my poison moth flight build /w nagakiba, bloodflame blade on weapon, mushroom crown, both talismans that boost dmg when poison+rot+bleed in viccinity

Submit

i've been cracking a lot of medium shields with this. anybody know how much stam damage it does against shields?

Submit

Missed opportunity to have physical block be 69.

Submit

They need to change the Scaling on this to Dex and Arcane

Submit

This the Superior Poison like the Snake Arrows or is this normal poison like the mist?

Submit

Cutie!

Submit

the one in-game- on xbox at least- has a different description:
"Armament designed for gladitorial combat. rises above its peers as a particularly showy specimen.
the sculpted bronze snake is a poisonous breed, boosting the weilder's resistance to poison." so the one above is probably the original launch one. Fromsoft probably changed it in a patch when they realized how dumb it sounded lol.

Submit

how does one poison a poisonous snake? you can tho

Submit

Actually quite fun to use and pretty versatile if paired with Kindred of Rot's Exultation and Serpent Bow on an Arcane build. Applies poison quickly, deals strike damage, has longer reach than a spear, can be used to shield one or two attacks from dogs and rats, and hits flying enemies rather reliably. Seems the sky is the limit with this one when it comes to possible applications.

Submit

Shield Hero build here I come

Weapon absolutely DOES aggro with the weapon art, even when stealthed.

Submit

Just picked this up and it has a different description than what appears here in the wiki.
"Armament designed for gladiatorial combat. Rises above it's peers as an especially showy specimen.
The sculpted bronze snake is a poisonous breed, boosting the wielder's resistance to poison."
Maybe they changed it in the recent update? I'm on the PC version if that makes and difference.

Does the damage of the weapon skill increase with strength scaling or from upgrading?

Is it capable of parry?

Submit

The extremely short poison build up on this shield is literally the fix Kindred of Rot's Exultation has been begging for.

Submit

Deals standard poison, not deadly poison.

Submit

This is surprisingly good when used as a weapon. Clips through walls and the damage on Viper Bite aint half bad. I think it does strike damage? Crystalians and crystal miners take full damage from it.

Submit

You are locked in the wind up animation but the bite can be aimed 360° making you able to turn around at the last second and catch people in pvp

Submit

The poison inflicted by this shield has an abnormally short duration, around 10-15 seconds. The damage on the weapon art is okay however. Hope they change it.

Submit

The lenght of the Snake attack hits much farther away than Whips and the Pike Spear, I guess it could be considered a Long Range attack, it has fairly good tracking too so it could potentially be used as a finishing move for PVP

Submit

It is venomous not poisonous and it looks like a viper in it's head shape but can not tell what time tho.(am a snak nerd)

Submit

This shield CAN be buffed with magic, tested with Immutable Shield.

Submit

"A poisonous snake" Bruh, they're venomous.

Submit

So is there any reason to level this up at all if you don't plan on doing a double small shield melee build? I was just planning to have this as a pocket snake after I rot breath someone but only really care about the poison

Submit

Cool looking shield if it only didnt have a wooden base.

Submit

From the Volcano Cave's site of grace, continue forward while sticking to the right side of the wall. You'll eventually find yourself at a ledge above some enemies. Drop down onto the ledge below you, then head backwards and there'll be a tunnel that leads to another room. There's 3 dead bodies to loot from here, the leftmost one is the one with the shield I think. -Fateburn

Submit

So, either this shield is bugged/glitched, or there must be some unseen mechanic that raises with upgrading the shield. Cause none of the stats change EXCEPT the shields attack power physical lowers with every upgrade, so far it seems like it eats somber just to get weaker.

Submit

This wiki needs to be updated- the note about the CNT is outdated. I can confirm that the Coil Shield is in game and can indeed be found at Volcano cave. Beware of the ambush in the area you enter to grab it. No boss required.

Submit

Anyone knows smithing inflicts the weapon art dmg on this?

Submit

do you have to beat the boss in the volcano cave to reach this?

Submit

These stats don't match in game. Defenses are much lower.

Submit

Tut tut. There’s no such thing as a “poisonous snake”

There’s a difference between venom and poison. Poison must be ingested to cause harm whereas venom is injected

Submit

Has anyone found this yet?

Submit

Found in Volcano Cave

Its in the room accessible from dropping off the ledge in the volcano cave
