Elkhorn Round Shield is a Shield in Dark Souls 3. Small Shields usually weigh very little and have the least form of protection from attacks. They are often used by players who prefer parrying rather than blocking.

Standard round wooden shield. The blue antlers are reminiscent of designs found in Mirrah.

Wooden shields are light, manageable, and offer relatively high magic absorption."

Elkhorn Round Shield Notes and Tips:

  • Can be Infused.
  • Reinforced with Titanite.
  • Not recommended for dedicated blocking, due to low absorptions and poor stability.
  • This shield first appeared in Dark Souls 2 as Benhart's Parma.
