Giant Door Shield | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Here's my take on the giant door shield; I love using it. It has good damage, really good defense (except against fire obviously) and its surprisingly good in PvP. I have always done a heavy infusion on the doors (because if you are able to wield them at that point you are doing a strength and possibly another stat build), and it rarely fails me. It does suffer when in comes to fighting multiple enemies at once, most notably in PvP, but isn't too bad about it PvE most of the time, and, like other shields, it doesn't protect you from grab attacks, as well as the WA not being too useful, or at least all the options you have for it, such as the one where you basically plant the doors on the ground and wait. The normal heavy attack is a bit slow, but once you get used to it, it's a really good attack, especially since both its normal, sprinting, and WA heavy attack keep the shield up, albeit the normal and sprinting heavy only put the shield up near the end of the attack. On a final note, the WA heavy attack is really good in PvP if you play defensively, and wait for an opening, since a majority of the weapons are able to be blocked if you charge while they attack.

Going to test when I get home, but from what I’ve seen two handed weapons can get the 1.5x strength bonus when two handing, and while the ui still shows a red X it should do normal damage, albeit slightly less since the strength boost from two handing doesn’t apply. If I’m right this means that you can use these with 30 str so long as you dual wield, and 25 str with the knights ring. Maybe cool for build versatility if you have medium strength investment? Going to try this on an int build plus the shield buff spells if it works.

Actually a pretty fun and complex weapon for souls standards. Your main attack in PVE is the 2hand L1 which blocks while you attack with only a small frame at the beginning of the animation where you can take damage. but If you hold down L2 during this attack you will automatically go into a block, skipping the relatively long block animation you normally have. you can combo a block into another L1 or an R1 and basically be immune to damage for as long as you have stamina left. I've never felt safer fighting scary enemies like outrider knights and red eye enemies.

Started NG+ with this today on a funny “imma slap crap with a shield” absolutely destroyed dancer. Great thing was I got an invader, he took 5 mins to find me outside of Greirats cell, charges at me with a Farron Greatsword and two tap the guy with weapon art because he had no idea what the hell was happening….great meme weapon 11/10 would bonk again.

Does anyone know about the lore behind these? I haven't played DS2 so I'm not sure which knight the flavour text is referring to. Or it could be some random knight too idk

Submit

Rolling L1 is absolutely OP. Great for punishing roll catchers, as soon as your i-frames end, you'll get block frames with major damage. The L2-R1 is only useful at certain ranges tho, and when your opponent is locked in animations like combos and stuff. Wear good fire resistant armor when using. The running L1 is also super great and looks badass af. In general, way too OP for a meme weapon.

It's fun fighting people who use this. I can almost hear their disappointment when I tear them down with my Dark infused Whip.

objectively the most based weapon / shield

The second l1 attack is so fun, and actually catches people off-guard sometimes aswell. They'll try to exploit the opening after your l1, but instead of getting a free hit, you reel back while they take their swing, and then smush them between your doors, turning them into a vertical pancake.

Is there any way to beat it as a sorcerer? It literally takes 0 damage despite 75% reduction both in dark and magic. Also scythes and shotels do 0 damage for me for some reason

most people talk about how annoying this weapon is to fight against but very few talk about how annoying it can be to fight with. I had a guy who ran out of estus so they just kept running away and throwing consumables at me. I literally considered pulling out a straight sword but I eventually just managed to catch them with a running attack.

Submit

a good combo is l1, l1, l2 charge. this can usually catch roll spammers, be careful how you use the change because some people know how to properly evade it

Submit

it's kinda funny this get's an A in dex with a sharp infusion cause to even wield it you'd need 45 strength since you can't actually two hand it and to make it better then a strength infusion you'd need 70 dex and 45 strength

I mede a tank build with full havle, havel sheild on off hand for weapon art, door shields and saints talisman so I can use the miracle that gets the attention of enemy's with a bunch of rings to boost health, poise and physical absorption. For pvp I use the ring that reduces back stab damage. The build works great.

Can you use shield pierce to damage someone using WA?

A story how useful this shield. Yesterday, I was in high wall of Lothric to join a fight club. I mistook covenant and got summoned as a Sunbro. I decided to watch the host and the invader fight. The host was losing and I thought the fight was gonna be over. It didn't because the scrub host ran away down the stairs and chugged an Estus. We all know that's disrespectful in duels. This went about 2 minutes until Blade of the Darkmoon arrived. The host yet chugged another Estus. The Blade of the Darkmoon to my surprise didn't gank the invader. What she did instead was pull out this shield and blocked the left staircase the one leading to the another bonfire I also excused myself, went down the left staircase leading to the elevator shortcut and killed some mobs and triggered the Pus of man transformation. I decided to block the elevator shortcut with this shield. The host fell into my trap and ran away to the pus of man. The invader now pissed at the host also decided to pull this shield out and block him from escaping the area where the pus of man is. Luckily for him and unfortunately for us, he spam so Firebombs. Obviously knowing his R1 spams and Firebombs spams, the host probably ran out of Estus instead of fighting the invader fair and square, Alt+F4. After a while I got hatemail saying how useless I am for not helping him gank. I am a Sunbro, not a Gankbro. If I gank, I will gank scrubs like him with this shield.

I got trapped when I invaded 2 doorman using this shield on the lift. One was blocking the bottom the one one was top exit. I almost use black crystal separation but I try using fist and punch the door 2 times, they immediately stop guarding and the host(the one guarding the top) killed himself with sign of avarice.
