"Small round metal shield. Four protrusions used to parry attacks.
Small shields are always less stable, but landing critical hits after parry is easier. This shield is specialized for parrying."

How to Get / Where to Find the Target Shield

Found on a body inside a small room in Lower Undead Burg just before the Capra Demon.
Initial Equipment for Thief.
Drops from Undead Assassin also known as Hollow Thief (1% chance - Lower Undead Burg)

Hints and Tips:

The Parry type is Special (Long).
Parry-wise, this is the best Shield due to it being metal (deflects some attacks) and having the longest parry frames in the game while being able to reliably block attacks.

  My go to pvp shield.
  If you have any weight issues and don't want to spend 2.0 for this, I'd recommend either the Dark hand (0.5) or your bare hand (0) they are both pretty damn good options. Also the buckler exists, but this is overall the same

  Sometimes when I parry with this shield, I hear a clang sound and my shield gets "knocked aside". Does that mean I parried too early?
