The Dragonrider Greatshield is a greatshield in Dark Souls II.
In-Game Description
- Greatshield of the Dragonriders, King Vendrick's royal guard.
- The rank of Dragonrider was reserved for honorable warriors who helped found Drangleic. Together with the King, they crushed its former inhabitants and erected a magnificent kingdom upon their graves.
Availability[]
After defeating Dragonrider you'll obtain a Dragonrider Soul. Take this soul to Straid of Olaphis and trade it along with 1,500 souls for one of four weapons: the Dragonrider Greatshield, Dragonrider Twinblade, Dragonrider's Halberd or Dragonrider Bow.
Characteristics[]
With average elemental defenses and stability, the Dragonrider Greatshield draws a comparison to the Giant Shield from Dark Souls, in that both of them are roughly a "jack-of-all-trades" greatshield; it will work in all situations (save for petrification and Curse protection), but there will always be another shield or greatshield that gets the job done better.
