The Wooden Shield is a medium shield in Dark Souls II.

In-Game Description

A long wooden shield. Its face features a lion.
Its wooden construction makes lightweight and easy to use, but as a shield it's inferior to its metal counterparts.

Availability[]

Can be purchased from Laddersmith Gilligan for 1,200 souls.

Characteristics[]

It's almost a complete downgrade from Large Leather Shield in every way besides looks, making it confusing that it is obtained so late once the player has more than enough Vitality for a metal shield. If one wants an extremely light or low-Strength shield, the Large Leather Shield is recommended instead.
