Bonewheel Shield is a Shield in Dark Souls 3. Greatshields usually weigh a decent amount and provide the best protection in the game. They are often used by players who have high Strength, as they require a good amount in order to use.
A giant wooden wheel, encircled by spikes and half-melded to a strange skeleton. Can serve as a makeshift greatshield, albeit one with great great gaps. Its true value is revealed through use of its Skill.
Skill: Wheel of Fate
Thrust out the wheel and give it a good spin, shredding enemies with the outer lining of spikes.
Bonewheel Shield Notes and Tips:
- Can be Infused but cannot be Buffed.
- Reinforced with Titanite.
- Provides an average block of 67.8%.
- This greatshield first appeared in Dark Souls.
Location/Where to Find
- Dropped by Bonewheel Skeletons in Catacombs of Carthus and Smouldering Lake.
- To farm, head right from the Catacombs of Carthus bonfire and down the hole at the end of the passageway. Use a homeward bone or coiled sword fragment to return after killing the bonewheel skeletons.
