Erdtree Greatshield is a Greatshield in Elden Ring. The Erdtree Greatshield is a Shield that scales primarily with Strength and Faith. Greatshields weigh a decent amount and provide the best protection in the game. Greatshields provide a greater value of blocking and protecting one's self from enemy and boss attacks, but greatly increases the weight and reduces the player's mobility. This type of shield works best at reducing damage or guarding instead of parrying.
Weighty greatshield forged of gold carried by the order of Tree Sentinels, heavily equipped knights. Blessed by an old incantation of protection.
The living rampart of the Erdtree, the Tree Sentinels are the standard to which all defenders of the Erdtree aspire.
Elden Ring Erdtree Greatshield Notes & Tips
- Shield Skill: Golden Retaliation
- Skill Description: Ready the shield to unleash its protective incantation. This will dispel sorceries and incantations, retaliating with golden power.
- The active parry window is shorter than the animation that accompanies the ash of war. Try to press L2 so that the spell strikes right after you lift up the shield.
- Due to recovery frames it is difficult to parry multiple spells cast by the same source. During PvP spells such as Glintstone Pebble and others with a similar cast-speed will likely give too little spacing between them to parry multiple spells in a row.
- Ash of War damage scales with weapon upgrade level and not player stats.
- Spells cast by the player can also be parried with Golden Retaliation provided they hit the shield. For example, the spell Discus of Light can be parried when it returns to the player, and the wraiths summoned by the Wraith Calling Bell can be parried as well by walking slightly forward before it floats towards its target. This allows the Ash of War to be used against any enemy rather than only casters.
- This shield cannot be infused with Ashes of War.
- Sell Value: 500
- Version 1.03 onwards: No longer activates when player is afflicted with damage over time.
- NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below.
