# Old Knight's Shield

<div id="bkmrk-in-game-description-"><table><tr><td>![]()</td></tr><tr><td></td></tr></table>

### In-Game Description

---

*An undated ancient shield.  
  
Wielded by a warrior from a time so ancient  
that there exists no record of his endeavors.  
Has extremely low durability.  
  
Sometimes, just as a thing falls to pieces,  
it unleashes its last flash of great power…*

### Availability

---

***Dark Souls 2 &amp; Scholar of the First Sin:***

- Old Knight (Sword &amp; Shield) drop - rare.

### Notes

---

- When fully upgraded, this shield has the highest stability out of all the Normal Shields in the game.

- Has similar stats to the Drakekeeper's Shield. The differences being less damage, worse strength scaling, lower durability,  
    higher stability, higher weight, and a higher strength requirement. In short, if you can afford the higher STR requirement, the Old Knight's Shield  
    is a slightly better shield to use overall. 
    - Another major difference is the Old Knight's Shield gains more damage reduction from being infused compared  
        to the Drakekeeper's Shield, most notably when infused with Dark.

</td></tr><tr><td>**Counter Strength:**</td><td>Damage multiplier when hitting an enemy that is performing an action such as attacking. Value of 100 means no extra damage.</td></tr><tr><td>**Poise Damage:**</td><td>The ability of the shield to break the poise of an enemy.</td></tr><tr><td>**Durability:**</td><td>The durability of the shield. The shield will break when durability reaches 0.</td></tr><tr><td>**Weight:**</td><td>The weight of the shield. Note that carrying over 70% of your Equip Weight will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going  
over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.</td></tr><tr><td>**Stats Needed:**</td><td>Determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the shield effectively.  
The requirement stats for shields are A / B / C / D:

- A is the Strength required
