For the Dark Souls III variant, see Bonewheel Shield (Dark Souls III).

The Bonewheel Shield is a greatshield in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

Giant wooden wheel encircled by spikes. Half-melded to a strange skeleton.
Can be used as a greatshield, only for the great gaps. But at least the spikes turn into weapons with a good spin. Strange indeed!

Availability[]

The Bonewheel Shield is an uncommon drop from Bonewheel Skeletons.

Characteristics[]

As the description implies, it is the worst greatshield in terms of overall defense, but has a powerful spin attack. The shield has heavy deflection and when upgraded to crystal the durability is 20.

Resistance Defense[]

Along with Physical and Elemental damage reduction, weapons also have hidden stats that reduce the amount of status build-up while blocking.

Resistance Reduction
Bleed 85%
Poison 75%
Toxic 75%
Curse 80%
