Shield Crossbow is a weapon in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). Shield Crossbow offers moderate physical damage and works as a shield while firing. With balanced scaling in Strength and Dexterity, it suits characters who value versatility in both offense and defense. A practical choice for marksmen looking for a dual-purpose crossbow.

Crossbow created from the soul of the Executioner's Chariot. Iron plate serves as a shield while firing.

The merciless chariot inflicted agony upon others with utter impunity, and the crossbow created from its soul strives to protect from possible retribution.

Effect: guard while firing

How to get Shield Crossbow in Dark Souls 2

• Trading the Executioner's Chariot Soul to Straid of Olaphis for 1500 souls.

DS2 Shield Crossbow Hints and Tips

• Character is shielded for as long as the attack button is held. The attack may be cancelled by rolling.
• You can only block one time before you need to raise the crossbow again.
• Note that holding the attack button with this crossbow takes a large amount of stamina; since the stability of the shield itself is low, be sure not to run out of stamina while blocking.
• When 2 handing (not dual wielding), you can aim your reticule to fire, as with all the crossbows.
• This crossbow cannot be power stanced even with two Shield Crossbows.
• Uses less stamina per shot than the Heavy Crossbow, but has comparable damage and slightly longer range.
• You can cancel the aiming of any crossbow and attack instead with the weapon held in your other hand, by pressing (Y/Triangle) and immediately following it up with a light or heavy attack.
• Benefits from Raw infusion since it has no scaling.
