King's Mirror Hints and Tips in Dark Souls 2

  • Upgraded with Petrified Dragon Bone
  • Since the spell parry times were buffed, the spell parry frames for this shield are now the highest of any. Essentially, the parry frames last from the time the shield is brought up to it slamming down. ( Tested with Crystal Souls Spear, Dark Orb and Hail, Climax, Soul Spear Barrage, and various pyromancies)
  • Note that spells are only getting reflected while parrying, simply raising the shield will not reflect spells.

      You can say what you want about Elden Ring and its PvP, but it at least managed to create a strong successor to this with the Erdtree Greatshield.

        Literally the worst shield in all of Soulsborne. Poor absorption for a greatshield, the spell parry is very sluggish, and when you do get the parry, it just shoots the magic into the damn ground. Completely pointless and not worth it unless you're in it for the cosplay

        • Anonymous

          I just tried it in shrine of amana. Sure the spell deflect starts as soon as the shield goes up till the end of the bash. Still, it puts you in a vulnerable state and block reduction is inferior to many greatshields.

          But really cool looking though.

            so it only reflects spells on the tail end of its shield bash. thats worthless considering how damn slow that shield bash is

            • Anonymous

              Such a shame that it didn't make it into DS3, but the shield of want did. Don't get me wrong, the SOW is fine, but this could've had such a unique shield bash weapon art, missed opportunity.

                To the people complainning about it not being 100%:


                We dont have any experience with the shield itself, the glaaa knight obviouslly will know using it better then a random undead who just took it.

                • Anonymous

                  Not even 100% physical block? For the shield that makes the boss literally invincible, regardless of whether it's actively held up or not? come on From

                    This is one of the most unique ideas executed extremely well in the series, sad it never made it's way to DS3. Rest in best great shield
