Wooden Shield ❘ 木の盾	Left Hand Weapon

In-Game Description A crude wooden shield used by the masses who have arisen to join the hunt. Hunters do not normally employ shields, ineffectual against the strength of the beasts as they tend to be. Shield are nice, but not if they engender passivity. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Overview Simply put, the shield will not protect you from much at all. You can block attacks by holding L2, but each attack will still damage you. Each hit will also reduce your stamina; once your stamina hits zero, your guard will be broken and the enemy will hit be able to hit you. Worse still, you'll take additional damage if you are struck by the enemy while your guard is broken. Cannot be fortified Shields Damage & Status Reduction [%] Shield Physical Blood Arcane Fire Bolt SP RP Wooden Shield 50 50 40 20 30 55 55 Loch Shield 30 30 70 70 70 55 55 Blocking with shields also reduce Beasthood build-up by 55%. Availability Treasure in (Main Story): Cathedral Ward; on the corpse in front of Oedon Chapel Gate. If you need further assistance to find the garb, you can follow the full Cathedral Ward 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%. Wooden Shield which has 120 points of durability reaches risk state at 36 Dur. Workshop's Repair: cost of repair depends on the weapon and its upgrade. For Wooden Shield it's 2 Blood Echoes per 1 point (values are rounded), full repair costs are 200 Blood Echoes. Notes Cannot be fortified Blocking doesn't prevent being inflicted with ailment status like poison Stamina is regenerating slower while holding shield up (blocking) Better against physical but weaker against elemental damage than Loch Shield Wooden Shield is used only by one hunter enemy: Yahar'gul Hunter (Tonitrus & Wooden Shield) You can find concept art of the Wooden Shield in Bloodborne Official Artworks, on page 233.
