The Leather Shield is a Small Shield in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- An orthodox, round small shield covered with leather.
- Small shields offer little damage absorption or stability, but they are lightweight and make ideal instruments for parrying.
- Skill: Parry
Repel an attack at the right time to follow up with a critical hit. Works while equipped in either hand.
Availability[]
- Starting equipment for the Sorcerer class.
- Sold by the Shrine Handmaid for 500 souls.
Characteristics[]
A very average and nondescript Small Shield, the Leather Shield is one of the earliest available in its category, being sold alongside the Crimson Parma and Warrior's Round Shield to those first entering Firelink Shrine. With no real Strength investment required to wield it, the Leather Shield has no major defining characteristics beyond its low cost and having the faster parry frames that all Small Shields have.
Upgrades[]
Reinforced with standard Titanite.
