Shaped like the head of a great Jellyfish, the jellyfish Shield in the Elden Ring provides immense protection against physical attacks while consuming the minimum stamina possible. This is among the lightest greatshields in the game, making it a preferred choice for the Strength-based players.
In this guide, we will tell you how to acquire the Jellyfish Shield and how to use it effectively to take down some of the major bosses in the game.
Jellyfish Shield Location
To find the Jellyfish Shield in Elden Ring, you must head to the western side of Liurnia of the Lakes, which is found in the western part of the Four Belfries area.

Jellyfish Shield can be found directly north of the Four Bellfries site of Grace, on a broken cart near a dead body surrounded by aggressive jellyfish.

Once at the marked location on the map, head north and up the hill to find a group of red Spirit Jellyfishes near a corpse and a broken cart. You can either fight off the group of Jellyfishes to acquire the weapon or collect the Jellyfish Shield without engaging in a battle with the group.
However, it is recommended to defeat all Jellyfish as they are known to attack you as soon as you collect the shield from the broken cart they are guarding.
How to use Jellyfish Shield in Elden Ring
What makes the Jellyfish Shield great is its unique skill called Contagious Fury. With this skill, you can increase your overall attack power for a few seconds. That brief period will be enough to do tons of damage to either a single target or multiple enemies in your way.
You can use this default skill by pressing L2 (with the shield equipped) to receive an additional 12.5% increase in all kinds of damage for the next 30 seconds, only if you don’t remove the shield.
Jellyfish Shield Upgrades and Stats
Jellyfish Shield in Elden Ring can’t be infused with any Ash of War. However, you can apply consumables and magic to it. This is the lightest greatshield in the game, making it an important item to Cheese Radahn, Consort of Miquella.
It can be upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones, and you can sell it for 200 Rune to any merchant in the game.
