Greatshields | Elden Ring Wiki

Greatshields are a type of Shield in Elden Ring. Greatshields usually weigh a decent amount and provide the best protection in the game. In exchange, they cannot be used to parry (barring certain unique greatshield skills). However, they are commonly compatible with Shield Bash to allow the user to strike without breaking their guard. Most attacks with greatshields that strike the ground will stagger lighter enemies nearby in a very small radius; this can be observed with regular attacks or dash attacks versus weaker bipedal enemies such as Wandering Nobles.

Greatshields, while guarding, also have the ability to cause a lot of attacks barring heavy guard-breaking ones to bounce off them, interrupting a lot of enemy combos and opening them up to guard counters. This also synergizes well with their high innate Guard Boost, meaning your guards consume very little Stamina. You can also use greatshields with Thrusting Swords, Heavy Thrusting Swords, or Spears for a stamina-friendly combo that lets you attack without dropping your guard.

Greatshields can be modified by Ashes of War, allowing you to change their Skill and their Damage Reductions when Blocking.

  Despite being superior to the Spiralhorn Shield, this shield has received little attention, which is unfortunate.

  the more u play the more u realize just use the brass shield. u don't need a great shield when shields are best for guard countering. as long as the guard boost is above 65 and the physical negation is 100 u don't need anything else

  Greatshield enemies have always been the toughest to cut down on these games. Never understood the contempt towards players who choose to use them. It’s just plain smart defensive strategy.

  I don't want to use almost any other greatshield besides the Distinguished Greatshield. Why is he so much more beautiful than others? Only he and the carian shield go so well with the aristocrat's warbans, RR and SOTNAF.
  
  The shield with the icon blocks much worse, but if you need to quickly restore health, it is irreplaceable. Perhaps the best shield at the beginning of the game, I always wear them in pairs.

  Actually a decent idea to two-hand one of these. Takes a bit of adjusting, but a good greatshield can excel at defense and also offense. It can actually do both simultaneously if you know what you're doing. Some of the moves in a greatshields moveset provide blocking frames during attacks (ex: running r1 provides blocking frames shortly after startup). Shield bash is also a good defensive-offensive ash of war, as it provides blocking frames during the entire attack. Time your attacks well, and you will be practically invulnerable, all while dishing out damage.

  With a bit of param tampering (EquipParamGem to be precise), (Golden) Parry/Carian Retaliation/Thops' Barrier AoWs can be made available for these. Surprisingly enough, they work flawlessly, both in animation and actual parrying. Though parrying with a giant slab of stone does look quite silly

  Super fun in PvP, and a lot of your opponents wont be familiar with the moveset. The crouch attack especially is very fast, so its good for rollcatches.
  The damage is low and the range is short, so dont expect it to perform super well, it is a shield after all.

  Shield poking is in a great spot right now imo, if you want to spam it, you really need to spec your entire build around it, but otherwise, its a decent mixup move that works best when used as a follow up to punish people that try to challenge your attack.

  They're worse at turtling now, but still incredibly versatile tools for PvE and PvP. They can counter lighter weapons quite handily and even stand up to bigger weapons with shield grease and barricade shield. You can also go the opposite route and use them as a weapon (personal fave is visage shield). I give them a 9/10, fun and functional.

  Wearing a greatshield on your back should make you immune to backstabs but also change your roll to a sidestep with less I-frames. Maybe one day...

  I think they could lower str requirements on most greatshields a little bit since the guardboost difference is small compared to the best medium shields (best medium shields 14 str 55 guardboost / greatshields 30 str 65 guardboost).
  The tradeoff isn't that good when you can use barricade shield on Mshields too and it would let greatshield users put more points into endurance.

  Kinda sucks that this page has the shields offensive info listed instead of their defensive properties.
  Those are shields... I'm aware you can use shields to attack, hell even do a shields-only run, but to list here their offensive properties only rather than their defensive properties is clearly pointless.

  Anybody ever used one of these as a weapon? Like an actual non-defensive weapon? I think they're pretty useful if you're going into a mine and have to deal with an enemy (eg: miner) that won't budge from anything short of Strike damage.

  All these stupidly high STR requirements make my head hurt. The limiting factor for Greatshields should be WEIGHT, not STR requirement, because a greatshield is heavy but it's not likely you're swinging most of them around. Besides, given that stamina and equipment load are now under a single stat, it makes sense that you get a fatter stamina bar to go with the heavy shield.

  With the new guard counter, as well as the faster and stronger shield bash, greatsshields actually have gameplay options now.

  Looks like the new patch has buffed some or all of the greatshields' guard boost, probably to compensate for the Barricade nerf.
  
  Manor Towershield now starts at 67 Guard Boost, Wooden Greatshield at
  56, Gilded Greatshield 69, Ant's Skull Plate 63, Lansworn's Shield 60, Crucible Hornshield 60, Dragonclaw Shield 61. Jellyfish Shield 52. Golden Beast Crest Shield now reaches 65 at +18.

  Does anyone know if the Haligtree Crest Greatshield is a drop from the knights that wield it, or if you can find it as a static item? I've killed probably over 200 knights and it hasn't dropped for me yet.

  Fingerprint has Madness building up 70. If you make it Blood it goes Madness 70 and Blood loss 83. Just put shield bash on it and its the best shield to use.

  Found Haligtreecrest Greatshield. Start at Sewercanal Grace in Haligtree go outside and work your way to the building left by going over the tree branches and rafters you can drop through a hole and you can find the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman go outside of the building and go right where you see a couple of Knights just standing there one of them drops the shield. You can look up a guide to get the Talisman and that should already give a good idea what i mean.

  I summoned someone to co-op Melania, Blade of Miquella yesterday. They had a shield that looked like a big slab of rock. I messaged and asked what shield they were using, and they said it's called the "Fingerprint Stone Shield". Does anyone have any information on this shield? I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere

  Magic 65

  Holy 60
  Guarf boost 66

  Best overall defense capability I've found so far outside of Visage Shield but weighs way less so not a bad trade-off.

  There is also the Cuckoo great shield. Gorgeous shield! I farmed mine from a Cairan horseback rider south of the Nothern Liurna lake shore grace. (south of giant blacksmith). Not quite the stats of Gilded but a decent bit lighter.

  Guardboost needs to be added to this list. It seems to double as the stability stat, reducing stamina drain on block. Visage Shield has the highest guard boost.

  Managed to find an Eclipse Crest Greatshield by farming the headless knight in front of black knife catacombs in Liurnia (in front of the location as one of the black knight assassin bosses).
  
  Eclipse Crest Greatshield

  Weight: 15.0
  Physical: 100
  Magic: 72
  Fire: 57
  Lightning: 51
  Holy: 59
  Guard Boost: 63
  
  Attr Req: 32
  Attr Scaling: Str D
  
  Passive Effects: None (besides being a direct dark souls 3 reference visually which is badass)
  
  Description:
  "Metal greatshield painted with a sun in eclipse. Carried by the headless mausoleum knights.
  
  The eclipsed sun, drained of color, is the protective star of soulless demigods. It aids the mausoleum knights by keeping the Destined Death at bay"

  Drop - "Impassable Greatbridge" waypoint, contrary to its name, if You'd pass the bridge and went straight right, seek a Heavy Knight that wields this shield (looks a little like a half crescent moon).
