Spirit Tree Crest Shield is a Shield in Dark Souls 3. As they are more than just a barrier used to distance yourself from imminent attacks, Standard Shields are widely available and allow a player to mesh their main-hand weapons into a personalized playstyle. With offensive applications in addition to their apparent defensive application, strategic use of the shield allows for more than simple damage reduction.

A knight's shield engraved with a crest depicting a spirit tree.

One of the enchanted blue shields. The Spirit Tree Crest Shield greatly reduces lightning damage.

Spirit Tree Crest Shield Notes and Tips:

• Can not be Infused.
• Reinforced with Twinkling Titanite.
• Provides an average damage block of 71.8%. Has high lightning damage block, second to the Lothric Knight Shield.
• One of the crest Shields, each one specializes in a different niche.

Location/Where to Find

• Found in a chest in Lothric Castle. From the Dragon Barracks bonfire, head toward the narrow bridge guarded by the two dragons. Drop down between the first two stone posts on the left side of the bridge, and walk along the ledge up the stairs and through the doorway on your right(past the crossbow, greataxe, and halberd wielding hollow soldiers). Immediately after exiting the narrow doorway turn to your right and you will see a set stairs going down, the shield is inside one of four chests guarded by an Outrider Knight.
