In Elden Ring, Shields are organized into four categories: Small Shield, Medium Shield, Greatshield, and Thrusting Shield. Typically, Small Shields and Medium Shields can be equipped by most builds, while Greatshields and Thrusting Shields require a more specific setup to wield effectively – though there are plenty of Small and Medium Shields in Elden Ring that come with unique stat requirements.

This guide lists every Shield in Elden Ring in each of these four categories, sorted alphabetically, as well as the stat requirements you will need to meet to equip all Shields.
