Havel's Greatshield

In-Game Description

Havel's Greatshield.

A shield formed by chiseling a giant boulder.
As solid as rock, this shield offers incredible
defense, but is also terribly heavy.

So heavy, in fact, that he who takes it
into battle is not allowed to flee,
until he or his opponent has fallen.

Availability

The Gutter treasure
Obtain the Forgotten Key and travel to the Upper Gutter Bonfire. Cross the narrow walkway and bear left. Run and jump onto the lit platform and then climb the ladder. Open the large door and collect Havel's Set and Greatshield.

The requirement stats for shields are A / B / C / D: A is the Strength required B is the Dexterity required C is the Intelligence required D is the Faith required While it is possible to use a shield with lower-than-required Strength, your character will suffer a severe penalty to damage reduction.
