Stone Greatshield 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 mossy stone disc. Though terribly heavy, it can serve as a shield.
The disc is a relic of ancient magic, and one can practically feel the power flowing through it.
Skill: Shield Bash
Without lowering your guard, strike the enemy with the shield to knock them back or stagger them. Works while equipped in either hand.
Stone Greatshield Notes and Tips:
- Can be Buffed and Infused.
- Reinforced with Titanite.
- Provides an average block of 78.4%. Phenominally high block rates for its weight, and also handles lightning damage well. Extremely efficient general-use greatshield.
- Has 75 stability at +10.
- This greatshield first appeared in Dark Souls.
Location/Where to Find
- Has a chance to be dropped by Elder Ghru in the swamp in Farron Keep.
- Video location (fextralife video starting at 2h 4m 3s)
- Can be easily farmed at the Keep Ruins bonfire. Kill the three Ghru on the bridge, then fire at the Elder Ghru from the bridge with a greatbow. An upgraded Greatbow with 40 str/40 dex kills each Elder Ghru in 2 shots. Drop down and collect any items.
