Parry Shield is a shield-type weapon which exchanges the ability to block for increased power on parries, especially to bounced bombs and deflected ranged attacks.

• Legendary Version: Arrogance
  • Forced Affix: Double Damage Free
    • "+100% damage dealt to enemies!"

• Blueprint Location Notes
  • The path to the blueprint requires the Ram Rune.
  • You need a second village key to unlock the blueprint, meaning you can't unlock the door in the middle of the level. You must use the secret path above the door, so you need the spider rune too or an amulet that gives you more jumps.

Notes

May be based off of the Buckler from Dark Souls 3, both in design and functionality.
