designed to brush attacks aside,
making parrying easier.

A parma used by clerics on pilgrimage.
Enchanted with a somewhat fragile blessing that
allows spells to be deflected by parrying.

Unfortunately, the shield provides very little
physical defense, and is more of a lucky charm
than a proper shield.

In-Game Description

Small shield used by Aldian warlocks.
Reinforced by a covert ritual that granted
the shield the power of flame.
Can deflect spells by parrying.

The peculiar figure known as Lord Aldia
kept Giants in his manor, and attempted
to recreate a dragon, but after some time,
was not heard from again.

Availability

Notes

When infused with Fire it will lower; all damage/aux reductions, STR & DEX scaling plus it gains more fire damage/reduction like normal. However Fire scaling does not increase and it lowers physical base damage more than other infusions do. When it's infused with either Poison or Bleed it gains a small boost to Physical and Fire damage and increases the Fire scaling from a C to a B.

In-Game Description

Small shield used by Volgen Falconers.
Appears like a glistening gold falcon from afar.

Domestic Volgen soldiers are infamously timid,
so it is no wonder that this fierce band of mercenary
falconers was hired to compensate.

The falconers are rumored to be untrusting of others,
and demanding of prompt, full payment. But no wonder;
they deliver much more than they are paid, and are well aware of it.

Availability

• Shaded Woods treasure, behind the Flexile Sentry.
• Falconer drop.
