Grand Spirit Tree Shield

In-Game Description

Shield of the blue spirit tree that
and is said to possess divine powers.

Appears in the allegory of Quella,
god of dream, and can deflect spells
by parrying.

Once there was a boy who was easily
frightened, until the talking tree of dreamworld
transformed itself into a shield to protect him.

Availability

Iron Keep treasure. Pass through the Belfry Sol. Right before you jump down back to the bonfire in Iron Keep, find an illusory wall.
