The Hollow Soldier 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.
Shield of hollowed royal soldiers.
The thing is in tatters, and only serves
as a shield in a most minimal respect.
The accoutrements of royal soldiers feature
a depiction of a brave knight from an old parable.
Acquired From
- Dropped by Hollow Soldiers in the Forest of Fallen Giants.
Hints and Tips:
- Despite the description, the shield possesses a fairly high physical damage reduction and stability for the early game.
- While still beaten out by most other shields in terms of elemental damage reduction, this is a respectable choice.
- Yellow Quartz Shield is the stronger variant of this shield.

AnonymousI need an undestroyed version of this shield for the Royal Drangleic Soldier in-game cosplay(one of my favourite things to do in DS2)

I think the description for this shield is saying their equipment is reminiscent of another “brave knight of old parable” which I think is referring to Raime who used to be a soldier of Vendrick and probably was a major leader or general. You can see a lot of similarities in the armor especially in the helmet and mid piece.

In my personal headcanon, every old item has a new counterpart. In the case of this shield, the counterpart I imagine is the Royal Kite Shield, since it too seems to be designed for use by royal soldiers.
