The Dragon Crest Shield is a Shield in Dark Souls. This shield is one of the best in the game for Fire Resistance, making it an excellent choice for handling bosses like the Bell Gargoyles and Chaos Witch Quelaag. It's an ideal starting shield for players with the Master Key, allowing early access to it. The shield can be acquired from a corpse in the Valley of the Drakes, found on a cliff in front of an Undead Dragon near Astora's Straight Sword.
Shield of a nameless knight, likely a high-ranked knight of Astora.
One of the enchanted blue shields. The dragon crest shield greatly reduces fire damage.

Dragon Crest Shield Dark Souls Hints and Tips:
- A boon for low-level Master Key havers, otherwise only available after a grueling trip through Blighttown, or by taking the elevator from the bonfire in Darkroot Basin.
- The Undead Dragon guarding the items can be easily dispatched at range using spells, miracles, or even a bow, if you have enough arrows and patience.
- Don't forget to grab the Astora's Straight Swordsitting right next to it.
- Just standing near the item will cause the undead dragon to aggro.
- The choice fire protection shield for most, weighing only 3 units and having 66 stability at max it is a great overall Shield for all purposes.
- This shield reappears in Dark Souls 3.
