Icon Shield
An Icon Shield is the best counter to Elden Ring PC. This shield is a Great Shield and inflicts Physical Damage during Strike Attacks. To use the Icon Shield, you must have Strength 22 and the shield scales accordingly. It is a F-Tier Weapon, and is not recommended for high-level players. This PC shield should only be used by low-level players who are not strong enough to afford it.
An Icon Shield is an essential part of any tank-oriented build. You can use it to protect yourself from damaging spells and armor. You can boost it with Ashes of War, magic, and consumables. Its protective capability makes it a useful item to use when your character is in danger. The Elden Ring PC is very powerful, so you need to protect yourself from it as much as possible.
Fingerprint Stone Shield
In Counter-Evolution, you can obtain the Fingerprint Stone Shield from a number of locations. Usually, you can find it in the Royal Capital of Leyndell, or in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. This weapon is useful when fighting monsters, especially bosses. You can find it in the secret area behind Mohg, the Omen, if you manage to defeat him. The best way to get it is by going down well to the northern part of Leyndell.
The Fingerprint Stone Shield has one of the highest protection stats in the game, and it scales with your Strength. It provides 100% physical damage negation and requires very little stamina. Because it is heavy, you will be limited in your movement. However, it does provide excellent protection and will save you from getting hit. If you want to use this shield, you must be prepared to face a number of enemies in the subterranean shusting grounds.
Golden Greatshield
Using a Golden Greatshield to guard against sorcery is a good idea, but you need to be wary of its weaknesses as well. For instance, this shield is not very maneuverable, and it isn’t very effective in preventing a sorcerer’s ring. Fortunately, there are ways to counter such an attack, and here are a few suggestions.
-Golden Greatshield has a unique design. Its stone build is adorned with carvings of the Cyclops god, and it has a fireball from its mouth. Once worshipped by giants, this god was killed by Queen Marika. The golden greatshield can be acquired through the Altus Plateau or by defeating a Tree Sentinel Duo.
Icon Shield’s regen effect
If you’re a PC player, you can use the Icon Shield’s regen effect on guard to guard against a ring that provides a similar health regen. It’s useful for passive healing, but its downside is its weight. It’s also quite heavy, especially when dual wielding. But its passive health regeneration makes it a great choice for Souls games.
Guard countering allows you to break your opponent’s stance and negate the damage they receive. It’s most effective against human enemies, but it can feel like cheating for seasoned FromSoftware players. After all, guard countering is a game of advantage. You should shield up with your shield and wait for the enemy to hit it before hitting it with R2/RT. You can also follow this up by doing a critical hit with R1/RB.
Blessed Dew Talisman
The Blessed Dew Talisman is an item in the Elden Ring that restores 2 HP every second. It can be found in the royal capital of Lyndell, and you can teleport there from the Tower of Return. Be aware that enemies will spawn in Lyndell, so you’ll want to prepare for that. You’ll find the Blessed Dew Talisman inside a chest at the end of a massive stone archway. Be careful, though, because a sleeping Giant will wake up once you pass through.
This item is very useful for protecting yourself during combat. It helps to heal yourself by gradually restoring your HP, and you can use it during travel to replenish health. However, it is most effective if you’re using it in the late game when the enemy has a high HP buff. The Blessed Dew Talisman is found in the later areas of the game. You can equip it with any item to increase your protection.
