Black Leather Shield

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Royal Moongazing Grounds

Before you go

• Defeat Royal Knight Loretta in Caria Manor and bring 2,500 runes.

1. Reach the western Liurnia road and follow it north through Kingsrealm Ruins. Strike the illusory wall blocking the road at the northern end, then continue past Iji at Road to the Manor.
2. Ride toward the large manor while avoiding the magical strikes falling along the approach. Activate Main Caria Manor Gate grace at the entrance.
3. Inside, follow the courtyard path northwest toward the building in the far corner. Fingercreepers hide among the plants and beneath the ground; do not stop on a buried hand.
4. Enter the building with the seated spirit and climb its stairs to Manor Lower Level grace.
5. Take the elevated walkways east and continue straight along the main route at the first junction. Spectral soldiers appear along the bridges. Reach the far building and take its lift up to Manor Upper Level.
6. Leave the upper grace, pass the wolves in the garden and climb the main stone stairway toward the Troll Knight and sorcerers.
7. Continue up the stairs beyond the troll and Pages to the large circular courtyard. Defeat Royal Knight Loretta, then activate Royal Moongazing Grounds grace.
8. Leave Royal Moongazing Grounds through the northern exit into Three Sisters. Turn left and follow the cliff edge until you find a blue Cerulean Tear Scarab above Caria Manor's roofs.
9. Look below the cliff for the roof you can safely drop onto. Drop down, then use the wooden platforms along the building's side to descend to the lower roof.
10. Find the opening in that roof and climb down the ladder. Pidia is on the balcony directly above the Manor Lower Level grace, but this balcony is reached from the roof.
11. Speak to Pidia and buy Black Leather Shield for 2,500 runes. If his puppets have already killed him, collect Pidia's Bell Bearing here and give it to the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold to buy from his remaining stock.
