A trick shield depicting the face of the one-eyed god, One-Eyed Shield in Elden Ring grants immense physical immunity to its wielder and scorches their enemies with flame spit. This is one of the few shields in the game that has amazing offensive capabilities and should be upgraded.
In this guide, we will help you locate the One-Eyed Shield and how you can use it for both defensive and offensive purposes.
One-Eyed Shield Location
One-Eyed Shied in Elden Ring can be obtained after killing the Chief Guardian Arghanthy.
She can be found on the roof of the Guardians’ Garrison on the Mountaintop of the Giants. To reach this area, you must complete Leyndell, the Royal capital, and go through the Forbidden Lands.
Once you reach the Mountaintop of the Giants via the Grand Lift of Rold, travel to the northeast. You will find the Guardians’ Garrison on your path to the Fire Giant.
This area is overrun by Fire Priests. Defeat the enemies and go upstairs. Once you reach the top, break the boxes near the guard tower and drop down on the rampart.
Follow the path and climb the next set of stairs to reach the roof of the Guardians’ Garrison. Chief Guardian Arghanthy will appear from the next guard tower.
Arghanthy uses fire spells, and her shield’s skill can kill the unprepared players in one hit. Use the Flame, Protect Me spell to increase your fire resistance.
The best way to defeat Arghanthy is by doing slam attack. Carry a heavy weapon, jump and then press the R2/L2 button. Dodge back, rinse and repeat.
Once defeated, Chief Guardian Arghanthy drops the One-Eyed Shield in Elden Ring.
