Shields provide an additional layer of defense, further reducing incoming damage. While fewer in number than weapons or armor, each shield offers a significant boost to your resilience. Here are the shields you can acquire:

| Shield | Defense Bonus | Cost (G) | Location/Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Shield | +4 | 90 | Garinham Shop |
| Large Shield | +10 | 1500 | Kol Shop |
| Shield of Erdrick | +20 | N/A | Swamp Cave (Key Item) |
The Shield of Erdrick is the best shield in the game, providing a substantial defense increase. Always aim to have the best shield equipped alongside your armor.
