How To Get The Great Turtle Shell

The Great Turtle Shell can be found in the Weeping Peninsula. First, you need to find the Castle Morne Rampart Site of Grace. This is the Site of Grace located near the pathway that leads to Castle Morne. As you reach it, turn east towards the plateau, where you'll see a Spiritspring that can easily take you up. Before using it, note that there's a tall tower on the cliff of the plateau; your objective is to land at the top of the tower.

Once at the top, grab the object over a corpse lying on the ground to get the Great Turtle Shell. This shield's location is marked on the map below:
