      This is The Elite Knight shield, which is supposed to go with the Elite Knight set and, With Anri's Straight Sword or, Astora Straight Sword, Maybe even Astora Greatsword. I also think the Claymore goes good with this set.

        I wonder why they didn't name this something more specific, like "Abyssal Crest Shield" or "Deep Crest Shield." The others have specific names.

        • This shield's dark resistance will make Gael's second and third phases much easier. I've soloed Gael four times, three times without a shield, and on the fourth, I got tired of not quite making it to the end and decided to whip out the crest shield. If Gael did not die that very attempt, he died on the next one because his dark damage out put was so greatly reduced.

            Change location description to: From the "Cathedral of the Deep" Bonfire, head up the winding path to the right of the stairs. The shield will be in front of a gravestone at the top."

            The current text is entirely vague.

              So Crest Shield isn't there, in fact nothing is there, not Anri, nothing. Of course Ludleth disintegrated so I can't get Anri's sword either. How the f.... Ugh. Welp, I guess here I come NG+, so I can actually do any of that as well as Orbeck and Sirris' entire questlines.

                I feel like the timing of this shield's parry (and the other crest shields' as well) is slightly different from other standard shields
