Malformed Shell is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.

One of the malformed weapons developed in Aldia.

Swung like a great hammer. Appears to be a fragment
of a giant shell, but its precise origins are unknown.

The peculiar figure known as Lord Aldia attempted to
uncover the secrets of life itself, and viewed the Undead
as a key to this mystery.

Acquired From

Found in a chest behind a locked door in Aldia's Keep, the door must be broken down by baiting one of the cyclops into ramming the door down.

Hints and Tips:

Upgraded with Twinkling Titanite. Cannot be infused with Bleed.

  It looks more like a part of a jaw more than a shell, since the protrusions on the end look like teeth
