There are many great shields to choose from at elden ring, but very few look as cool as the Dragonclaw Shield. This great shield has a unique aesthetic that basically matches any armor environment you have, and even better, it’s a solid choice for anyone looking to soak up a few hits. In this guide, we’ll tell you where you can round it up.
Explanation of the Dragonclaw Shield
The Dragonclaw Shield is a large shield that requires 28 Strength and 12 Dexterity to wield. Because it blocks 100% of physical damage, it’s a worthwhile option for any build looking to stack up some damage.
The Dragonclaw Shield item description reads:
Greatshield is said to have been carved from the claw of a great ancient dragon, wielded by grotesque Tree Sentinels who still serve the Erdtree. Imbued with lightning.
Where to find the dragon claw shield
The Dragonclaw shield can be obtained by defeating the Draconic Tree Sentinel in Altus Plateau. This challenging world boss is easily located by rounding the outer walls of Leyndell, Royal City, past a collection of frustrating golem archers, where you’ll find him waiting to give you a good beating if you come unprepared.
The Draconic Tree Sentinel wields a variety of lightning-based attacks, so increasing your lightning denial can be helpful. Otherwise, this matchup is overall pretty similar to the other Tree Sentinels you’ve faced up to this point in the game, so stay close and circle him while timing your dodges appropriately until he finally drops and grants you the Dragonclaw Shield.
