The Dark Souls game series is a complex and unfriendly RPG. Here, no one will lead the player by the handle, explain the principle of one or another mechanic, or pick up the necessary objects or leveling. The same can be attributed to the description of objects. You need to experimentally select the best version of the sword and shield. In this article, we will look at the tower shield in Dark Souls.
Short description
This type of weapon is found in two parts - the first and second. In the case of the first part of the series, the tower shield is of no value. It has rather weak parameters, and you can use it only at the beginning of the game. If you decide to go through the Dark Souls through a one-handed sword and shield, then with the initial version you can practice parrying and blocking enemy attacks. The description of the item says that it is very common in the game world. The shield can be obtained without any action - just select the Knight class at the time of character creation. Other parameters will not affect the appearance of the item.
If you play for another class, but want to try your hand at defense, then buy a shield from Andre from Astora for just 1 thousand souls. Even at the beginning of the game, this amount is easy to farm.
This equipment does not add any additional effects or bonuses. You can wear with a minimum amount of strength of 10 points.
Second part
The version of the tower shield in Dark Souls 2 is much more interesting for characters who have a high rate of strength. To raise a gun, you need at least 30 points of this indicator. The description of the item says that the shield is very heavy and impressive in appearance. Only the strongest can lift it, but it will be well protected.
Although this weapon is heavy, the damage from the blow is very high. In addition, the shield strikes an equilibrium strike, which increases the chance of knocking an opponent off his feet when blocking or parrying. The item gives the character a fire protection bonus. If you improve the gun by +10, then the class will increase to C. It has good elements resistance to the elements for the initial gameplay.
Where to get?
Exactly the same weapons of defense you can see at the royal guard. However, he cannot fall from them as a reward for killing the enemy. You have two options.
The first is a victory over the Phantom with a katana, which appears when you visit Dranglik Castle.
The second option is to find a chest located in the Cathedral of the Cote d'Azur. The box can be found to the right of Targrey.
We examined the main parameters and aspects of both shields from the first two parts. Detailed characteristics are given in the standard description of the item in the character’s inventory.
