Dragonslayer Greatshield is a Shield in Dark Souls 3.
Melted iron shield that once formed part of the Dragonslayer Armour.
The shield offers high protection to lightning, which the Dragonslayer commanded as his own, and its Skill has faint echoes of the Dragonslayer's own fighting style.Skill: Shield Bash
Without lowering your guard, strike the enemy with the shield to knock them back or stagger them. Works while equipped in either hand.
Notes and Tips:
- Can NOT be Infused.
- Can be Buffed.
- Reinforced with Titanite Scales.
- Provides an average block of 82.6%, the second highest in the game, but also stands as the second heaviest greatshield, weighing 6 units more than the majority of greatshields. The smaller of the two "ultra greatshields".
- Especially signifficant because it has the highest lightning resist of all greatshields, which on average let in more lightning damage than any other type.
- Stability is 79 at +5
- Has a unique shield bash technique. Anchors shield in the ground without lowering guard and rams with it, knocking many enemies down. It also negates most attacks during the shield bash.

I'm doing a greatshield only run with this shield rn, just 2 handing it and smacking people and bosses with it, this is the most fun I've had in a run so far.

I constantly get hit by performing shield bash which cancels the animation. Do I have to time it? I also tried pressing l2 while holding l1 but it did not work.

Despite all of the older comments regarding the nameless king, this shield is especially punishing in PVP. The shield bash in particular, It allows you to knock people back and stagger them when they go to attack. 75% don’t expect it. This, paired with a heavy weapon, can deal some serious damage. Effectively making you nearly impossible to predict if you mix your attacks. It’s a great way to counter. Beware anyone who uses this shield, as with every attack, you need to worry about getting countered yourself.

Lifesaver in the Nameless King fight, especially against his lightning strike (you know, the attack where he charges up his spear, then raises it in the air, calling a lightning bolt down upon you). If you're having trouble dodging this attack, just stand still and tank it. It'll likely cost you all your stamina, but the damage you take is trivial.

the morne shield is better, much more stability and dont have a ton of free weight, but the lightnin damage defence is just insane
- Anonymous
Does it still knockdown enemies or is it still bugged/nerfed to be like every other greatshield

Weapon art is great. If timed correctly, it tanks through all attacks!!!

Blocking with this shield reduces Nameless' lethality to that of a foam sword.

Kinda ironic how this "Dragonslayer Greatshield" is actually a Dragonslayerslayer Greatshield, perfect for Nameless King and Dragonslayer Armor(in DLC or NG+)but sucks against dragons.
- Anonymous
Anyone willing to hook me up with this for my build? Hoping to have both this and the weapon for NG+

Use against nameless king and his attacks will do barely anything to you.

Idk what people are talking about but this shields bash does in fact still knock people down.

Great for cosplaying a pilgrim if you have it on the back!

From really nerfed this? Why dont they correct the bs description then. Faint echoes got reduced to jack next to***** echoes. What the hell you cryptic bastards.
- Anonymous
When you do the shield bash it should become infused with lightning, that wouldve been amazing.
It also provides hyperarmor during the shield bash, negating most attacks.
- Anonymous
For some reason it got nerfed, now it has a plain and simple Shield Bash with no knockdown effect.
Because the real problem in DS3's pvp was totally this shield's weapon art.
I would actually have loved to bash with this shield like its owner. It would make for a great protective sidearm. But no, we only get the cool wind gust effects with no change to it at all. Disappointed:-(

... The Nameless King. While it won't trivialize him, you can block several of his combos with effectively no damage taken and thwack him a couple times.

This with a long sword and Havel set it looks cool. And is actually good
This shield is only viable in PvE against hordes of enemies, which is uncommon later game when you get it. Equipping it with a bestoc or partizan works, if you don't want to be ridiculed for holding a squashed clam. Used it in PvP twice, and my opponents used the black separation crystal both times upon looking at me.

The back of it actually had three handles, the topmost one of which you hold it by. Also, your hand is chained to it, which looks rather cool.

I fought a few bosses with the shield and is great. Pairs well with thrusting weapons (rapiers, lance, etc)

do you put it in the ground and ram it like every other greatshield or is it quick and actually useful?

but wouldn't it make more sense to have high fire defence (which is, ironically, the weakest defence this shield has) to fight fire breathing dragons? This is more like a Dragonslayerslayer Greatshield.

looks like a shell so when i first seen it i thought there was a sea boss

I would really like to use this shield, but i have already transposed the boss soul into the greataxe(i make bad decisions lol)i could trade a moonlight greatsword, profaned greatsword, or yhorms machete.

Guys can someone upload the bash animation on this shield, if indeed it has a unique bash.
- Anonymous
Got great stats, but it looks not nearly as good as the dragonslayer armour looks like. It isnt round, its like an egg
The Nameless King basically can't do damage to you in his 2nd phase if you use this.
- Anonymous
doers anyone know the damage scaling at strength 50? Just curious cause im doing a great shield only
- Anonymous
Helps a ton with the Nameless King, if you're strong enough to use it.

What is the stability on this fully upgraded? Trying to compare to Yhorms
- Anonymous
Only problem is its weight, but otherwise it's an all-round best shield for me.
- Anonymous
This Shield fully upgraded makes the Nameless King a joke. He can barely hurt you and his hits just bounce off the shield meaning free hit with a quick weapon
- Anonymous
I really want this weapon and I'm willing to trade most of the boss weapons on PS4
- Anonymous
It´s a bit heavy, but great defense stats and stability. And the best, it has an unique Shild Bash! It kicks enemies down (as a sample red eye knights).I´ve upgraded it on +5, does also a lot of damage with that bash. In combination with a heavy +10 Dark Sword just hell yeah...
- Anonymous
What does it mean by "its Skill has faint echoes of the Dragonslayer's own fighting style"? Is it different from the normal Shield Bash? I'm not sure if I want to make this or the axe, but if this has a special shield bash, I want this for sure.

That's gonna be my nick for this thing. In spite or maybe BECAUSE of that, looks sweet!
Nameless King? More like Nameless Grave!
