Black Dragon 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
- Can be dropped from the Dragon Knights on the stairs leading up to the ancient dragon.
Hints and Tips:
- Drakekeeper's Shield offer better defenses, damage, scaling and stability for only 0.5 more weight. The Drakekeeper's Shield also upgrades with titanite, rather than expensive petrified dragon bones.
- Requires petrified dragon bones to upgrade.
