"A rare shield depicting a blossoming flower,
that soothes the weary heart of its bearer.

What makes flowers beautiful, and why
are we comforted when we gaze upon them?
Sadly, the flower depicted on this shield
went extinct long ago.

Effect: stamina recovery"

Blossom Kite 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

• Metal chest in Memory Of Vammar, just before the Giant Soul

Scholar of the First Sin

• Now located in Sinners' Rise. After taking the lift to the lower level it will be on the left hand side when you enter the water, the Undead Aberration has been replaced with the Flexile Sentry in NG. (Actually the Flexile Sentry is there without NG+)

Hints and Tips:

• Infusing with Poison Stone gains 100% poison resistance (projectile and weapons only), compare to Poison Moon Butterfly Shield, this one has better defense, yet difficult to inflict poison with its bashing.
• Stamina Regeneration is roughly equal to 5%
• Stamina Regeneration Stacks with both Green Blossom and Chloranthy Ring variants.
• Stacks with other Stamina Regeneration Shields.
• Light enough for a mage to use but has a strength requirement to block effectively.
• This is one of the selected by From and Namco Bandai.
