The Drakekeeper's Shield is a medium shield in Dark Souls II.

In-Game Description

An extremely sturdy pitch-black greatshield.
Colossal warriors staunchly watch over the shrine, ready to defend its resident, or allow one worthy enough to be granted audience.

Availability[]

Drops from the sword and shield Drakekeepers in Dragon Shrine.

Characteristics[]

This shield should be looked at as an improved version of the Old Knight's Shield, one such version that is in fact the polar opposite in terms of durability, being capable of sustaining 4 times the damage the Old Knight Shield would be able to sustain before breaking, it is also slightly lighter and has more balanced stats. It does, however, have lower stability.

Overall, it is widely regarded as one of the top tier medium shields in the game, rivaling the King's Shield, for having almost identical stats.
