Shield of Night is a Small Shield in Elden Ring. It is a brand new Small Shield in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Shield of Night is a Shield that scales primarily with Strength and Intelligence. Small Shields usually weigh very little and has the least form of protection from attacks. They are often used by players who prefer Parrying rather than Blocking. Its lighter weight also makes it ideal for quick, agile characters with low equipment weight capacity..
A shield awarded to Swordhands of Night, cast in a bottomless black from which no light can escape. The outer surface is only semicorporeal, providing reliable defense against attacks that are not physical in nature.
