Golden Wing 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:

• The Golden Wing Shield is located in the Lost Bastille. If you port to The Saltfort bonfire in Sinner's Rise, go down the ladder and take an immediate left. Run across the bridge there and into the doorway at the other end. There are some stairs to the right. Go down them. There is a cell in front of you as you come down and a door right to the left of it. Go through the door and straight to the back. There is a false wall here. Press (X) on PS3 or (A) on Xbox to open the false wall. Inside there is another false wall to your left. Again press (X) or (A). Ahead is a corpse across a small gap you must jump. Jump across and get the Flame Butterfly and 3 torches on it and then drop on to the little ledge to the right. Follow this all the way down to the end where the corpse with the Golden Wing Shield is.
• Originally, this shield was the shield the warrior used in the beta

Hints and Tips:

• Not intended for blocking damage directly, it's for a steadfast spell parrying on par with Cleric's Small Shield.
• Oddly, it also provides Curse and Petrification resistance, surpassing Lion Clan Shield.

The higher the player's [Str, Dex, Mag, Fire, Light] stat, the higher the [Attack Bonus: Stat] is (found on the player status screen). The higher the scaling letter, the higher the percent multiplier applied to the [Attack: Stat].
This resulting bonus damage is added to the base physical damage of the weapon and is shown in the equipment screen in blue numbers as a "+ X".
