Drangleic Shield is a Standard Shield in Dark Souls 2. Standard Shields can be used not only to block an enemy but to parry their attack as well. This allows a riposte, a free attack by the player for a high amount of damage. Enemy attacks can be interrupted with a parry (pressing the Strong Attack button for the shield) and requires practice to learn the timing.

Acquired From:

• You have to beat the Pursuer, the second boss in the Forest of Fallen Giants. Go past his boss area, and jump down the hole in the walkway in front of you. There's a body down there with the Drangleic Set (without the helm), the Drangleic Sword, and most importantly, the Drangleic Shield!

Hints and Tips:

• This is probably the best medium shield available early game with 100% physical block and high stability, and can easily last you to the end of the game (though there are better ones later on). It is highly recommended that you defeat the Pursuer as early as possible and grab this shield if you have the strength to wield it.
• Useful until you get Defender's Shield, which is considered to be an endgame item.
• Prior to Calibration 1.15, the magic reduction was only 50 for an non-infused, non-upgraded Drangleic Shield. After this calibration, it now has 70 magic reduction.
