Havel's Greatshield

The  is one of the Greatshields in Dark Souls.

Availability
Havel's Greatshield is Found in a chest in Anor Londo behind an illusory wall at a fireplace, along with the rest of Havel's equipment.

Characteristics
Possessing some of the highest damage reduction and stability, Havel's Greatshield transforms the user into a living, near-impregnable wall. It also has heavy deflection. However, the shield has a 50 strength requirement, and is very heavy. Only those with the highest strength and endurance will be able to wield this shield effectively.

Using the heavy attack on the shield will grant the user a temporary defensive buff similar to Iron Flesh (but with less, if any, movement penalty). Using this attack drains the shield by 300 durability, however, so it can only be cast once before needing repairs (the shield has a total of 500 durability).

Upgrades
Requires: 2000 Souls and Twinkling Titanite
