Loch Shield ❘ 湖の盾	Left Hand Weapon

In-Game Description An artisanal shield crafted with blue glass. Originally used to safeguard the leader presiding over a sacred Healing Church ceremony, and later supplied to tomb prospectors, in particular those exploring the labyrinth of Isz. The blue is fashioned after a lake, and the shield greatly reduces all forms of non-physical damage. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Overview Similar to the Wooden Shield, the Loch Shield does little to defend you from physical attacks. The Loch Shield's true purpose is to defend you from all other types of non-physical damage, which it does a tremendous job at. Holding L2 will bring the shield up to block attacks, but it will take off stamina while absorbing hits. Try to keep the shield up only when necessary, since you'll recover stamina by a much slower amount while defending. If you're not careful and run out of stamina while holding L2, your guard will be broken and you'll receive additional damage. Shields Damage & Status Reduction % Shield Physical Blood Arcane Fire Bolt SP RP Loch Shield 30 30 70 70 70 55 55 Wooden Shield 50 50 40 20 30 55 55 Blocking with shields also reduce Beasthood build-up by 55%. Availability Treasure in (Old Hunters DLC): Research Hall, after you proceeded to the top of the tower and used the device that moves the entire area up. Head back down, from where the lamp at the start is, there is a secret path to the right. Head up the lift, and on the second lift, there's a hidden path you can go down. Follow the stairs, and there is an item on a platform where the Loch Shield is. If you need further assistance to find the shield, you can follow the Research Hall Map. Durability Durability of the weapon depletes when used. This means hitting an enemy, destructible object or bouncing off the walls. Hitting undestructible objects and environment does not deplete your durability. Style of an attack or upgrade of the weapon, even different weapon, does not matter - each count as one hit. Every 10th hit against the enemy/object depletes 1 durability. Exception is Tonitrus, which when in self buffed mode, depletes durability at rate of 2 hits. Hitting an enemy in dying animation still counts as hit. Also hitting multiple enemies/destructible objects at once counts as one hit per enemy - hitting 3 enemies at once counts as 3 hits towards durability counter. Shields lose 1 durability every 10th hit. Bounce means when your hit is bounced back off the wall or other objects. Every 5th bounce depletes 1 durability. Not every weapon can be bounced off. Damage reduction when heavily worn. When weapon is at 30% of total durability, it reaches the Risk state and AR is reduced by 30% and when it hits 0% of total durability, weapon is Broken, then AR is reduced by 50%. Loch Shield which has 160 points of durability reaches risk state at 48 Dur. Workshop's Repair: cost of repair depends on the weapon and its upgrade. For Loch Shield it's 2 Blood Echoes per 1 point (values are rounded), full repair costs are 300 Blood Echoes. Notes This Shield is part of The Old Hunters DLC. Shield can not be upgraded. Video: Bloodborne - New DLC Weapon "Loch Shield" Location by tassssssssss. Blocking doesn't prevent being inflicted with ailment status like poison. Stamina is regenerating slower while holding shield up (blocking). Better against elemental but weaker against physical damage than Wooden Shield. Loch Shield is used by one old hunter summonable NPC Mensis Scholar Damian. Loch (/ˈlɒx/) is the Irish and Scottish Gaelic word for a lake which reflects theme: Great volumes of water serve as a bulwark guarding sleep, and an augur of the eldritch Truth. You can find concept art of the Loch Shield in Bloodborne Official Artworks, on page 247.
