Caduceus Round Shield is a Small Shield in Dark Souls. This round wooden shield from Lordran is adorned with an ancient blue Caduceus. It has the same stats as the Red & White Shield dropped by skeletons, with the only variation being its appearance.Small Shields can be used not only to block an enemy but to parry their attack as well. This allows a riposte, a free attack by the player for a high amount of damage. Enemy attacks can be interrupted with a parry (pressing the Strong Attack button for the shield) and requires practice to learn the timing

 

Round wooden shield crafted in Lordran. Decorated by an ancient blue Caduceus.
The giant trees in Lordran are distant offspring of the great stone archtrees. This shield inherits their properites, and the wood greatly reduces magic damage."
