      Love this one. I'm not good at parries so I don't bother with a shield unless it can mitigate a lot for it's weight and this one does.
      Having access to it early is just the cherry on top.

        If you care to cheese, you can get this almost without hitting a single enemy (Not sure if 100%). Google dragonrider cheese - just make him fall of the ledge

          Better elemental resistances, easier to acquire, and identical stability to the Tower Shield. Only drawbacks are 0.5 more weight, and 5 more STR requirement. Not the best for a tank, but for low-STR builds that want a greatshield it's a great candidate.

            Hey, does it's job, good lightning and fire defense, infuse with magic or dark to up those stats while still maintaining respectable amounts in the others. Can be acquired early game, especially for those playing SotFS who don't want to deal with the dragon to fight Ornstein and get the Tower Shield.
