Effects

Reduces the stamina lost from qualifying blocked attacks by 20%. This applies to the stamina loss remaining after the guarding equipment's Guard Boost.

For example, a block that would normally cost 50 stamina costs 40 with this effect. It does not add 20 points of Guard Boost or make a shield with 80 Guard Boost reach 100.

A shield with high Guard Boost already loses less stamina, so the same percentage reduction saves fewer stamina points per hit.

In-game description

Talisman depicting a knight holding a greatshield.

Boosts guarding ability.

The knights of Leyndell once modelled themselves after the Tree Sentinels. Their purpose is to protect that which deserves protection, and thus the shield always comes before the sword.

Where to find

Soldier-camp carriage chest

Altus Plateau

Starting Site of Grace: Erdtree-Gazing Hill

  1. Reach Altus Plateau by using the two Dectus Medallion halves at the Grand Lift of Dectus, or by defeating Magma Wyrm Makar in Ruin-Strewn Precipice. Erdtree-Gazing Hill is beside the lower Lux Ruins, near the precipice exit.
  2. Head east toward the soldier camp below the higher road, east-southeast of Lux Ruins and north of the Grand Lift of Dectus.
  3. Look for the large black carriage among the soldiers. Approach its rear rather than searching the tents.
  4. Clear the enemies close enough to interrupt you and open the carriage chest.
  5. The talisman is in the chest; no field boss or caravan escort needs to be defeated.

Notes

  • Reduces the stamina lost from qualifying blocked attacks by 20%. This applies to the stamina loss remaining after the guarding equipment's Guard Boost.
  • For example, a block that would normally cost 50 stamina costs 40 with this effect. It does not add 20 points of Guard Boost or make a shield with 80 Guard Boost reach 100.
  • A shield with high Guard Boost already loses less stamina, so the same percentage reduction saves fewer stamina points per hit.
  • Other shield classes and weapons can benefit when used to block. A greatshield is not required despite the name.
  • It does not improve the percentage of HP damage blocked. Elemental chip damage still depends on your shield or weapon's damage negation.
  • You can still be guard-broken if a hit empties your remaining stamina. Attacks from behind and unblockable grabs are not stopped by the talisman.
  • Shield Grease and Scholar's Shield can provide a separate compatible improvement to guarding. Multiple reductions multiply the remaining stamina cost; they do not simply add their percentages or promise free blocking.
