"Round wooden shield crafted in Lordran. Decorated with the ancient Labrys axe.
The giant trees in Lordran are distant offspring of the great stone archtrees. This shield inherits their properties, and the wood reduces magic damage."
Acquired from:
- Purchase from the Undead Merchant for 800 souls.
Hints and Tips:
- An unassuming wooden shield that Magic ascends and upgrades by level +10 into the #2 magic resistance shield in the game, losing only by 5.5% to the unique Crystal Ring Shield.
- At Magic +10, this shield is capable of blocking the Wrath of the Gods miracle almost completely, which deals magic damage.
- Unsuitable for blocking abyss sorceries such as Dark Bead due to the stamina damage they inflict.
- Otherwise exactly the same as the basic wooden round shields found in the Firelink graveyard.
- Has "Fast" type parrying

>An unassuming wooden shield that Magic ascends and upgrades by level +10 into the #2 magic resistance shield in the game, losing only by 5.5% to the unique Crystal Ring Shield.
Shouldn't this be second best SMALL shield in the game? since its definitely not the second best shield in the game for magic resistance.
In addition to the Magic Upgrade path being significantly better than the other Small Round shields, this shield has 5% higher resistance to Poison/Toxic. Not much of a difference but it is superior.
