Very useful shield overall. 95% physical dmg protection and weighs only 3 plus it can be aquired very early in the game when the master key is taken as a starting gift and take the door behind Havel after u summon some player to help defeat him while also getting Havels ring being one of the most important Stamina items itself so to get both items almost from the beginning is SO helpful. Stamina and regain is always something very welcome in this game and the other options are not really attainable so early on in the game.

It's possible to get a few other stamina items early on but the options are fraught with danger and u cant warp between bonfires until u meet miss big tits in Anor Londo so I wouldnt feel they are worth the pain for a new player and should take the more traditional route of the game from Undead Burg to Undead Parish etc is the more enjoyable experience to cut your teeth with enemies being less damaging and easier to kill while the zones themselves are bright, pleasant and lag free.
