The Parry Shield is a shield-type weapon which exchanges the ability to block for more powerful parries, especially for deflected bombs and ranged attacks.

Details

• Block Damage Reduction: Cannot be used for blocking.
• Special Effects: Certain grenades and projectiles behave differently when parried by this shield:
  • Projectiles are shot out in a shotgun 5-spread
  • 2 bombs are launched when Grenadier bombs are parried. (But not for bombs from other enemies.)
• Tags: Shield
• 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, so you should not unlock the door in the middle of the level. You must instead use the secret path above the door, which requires the Spider Rune or an amulet that gives extra jumps.
    • The platforms required to make the jump may not properly spawn due to RNG, so it may require multiple tries.

Notes

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