Yellow Quartz 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

Pre-order bonus & Black Armor Edition DLC.
Can be bought from Chancellor Wellager in the Drangleic castle.

Hints and Tips:

A useful shield for early in the game due to its high Stability, though the physical block leaves a little to be desired.
Good shield for great magic shield buff due to it's low weight and high stability.

  Super disappointed that this isn't in scholar of the first sin. I had the base game, and this was by far my favourite of the goofy looking shields. Rip, piss shield, you will be missed.
