Blue Wooden Shield

In-Game Description

Wooden shield used from ancient times.

Inferior to metal shields in terms of
stability and physical damage reduction,
but easy to use and weighing so little
that it hardly requires any strength to bear.

Availability

Forest of Fallen Giants treasure, in the ballista ambush room.
