Llewellyn Shield is a Small Shield in Dark Souls 2. 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.

Acquired From:

Rare drop from Stone Soldiers in Drangleic Castle.

Hints and Tips:

Equipment such as the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring and Jester's Cap are recommended when farming for the Llewellyn Shield
Stone Soldiers at King's Gate bonfire do not despawn; they can be killed as many times as necessary to obtain the shield.
The Llewellyn Shield offers remarkable resistances and stability for its weight; perhaps the best of all the Small Shields in the game
Requires Twinkling Titanite to upgrade

  Does this still have the higher parry frames that small shields usually have?

  I reeeeally don't like how you hold this shield, especially since it seems to have a leather strap instead of actual handle for... well, it's handle.

  The "Hints and Tips" section says that the stone soldiers do not despawn however that is incorrect as they do despawn and for example already did in my game
