Watcher's Shield is a Small Shield in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). Watcher's Shield, a small shield crafted from an ancient sacred chime. The Throne Watcher has faithfully guarded the throne for countless ages. Small 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.

 

Small shield used by the Throne Watcher. Made from an old sacred chime. The Watcher has stood by the throne for ages. Will his wait be fulfilled?

  • Upgraded with Petrified Dragon Bone to +5.
  • Highest physical damage reduction of all small shields.
  • Infusing with Boltstone grants 100% lightning damage reduction.
  • Infusing with Darknight Stone allows Dark Watcher's Shield +5 to have nearly three damage immunities, with a large 93.6% physical reduction, 89.2% lightning defense, and 98.5% dark defense before scaling bonuses are added.
  • The shield makes a bell-like noise when it is hit.
  • An orange particle effect is also produced when the shield is hit (This is a corrosive effect on weapons that hit the shield and can break hostile melee weapons faster, but doesn't effect ranged weapons which includes catalysts, bows, crossbows, and greatbows).
