LocationVolcano Manor prison town

Starting Site of Grace: Prison Town Church

Before you go

If you have not entered the dungeon yet, speak to Tanith in Volcano Manor and accept her invitation to get the Drawing-Room Key. Open the first room on the right in the corridor. Roll into or strike the illusory wall in the back-right corner to reveal a passage. Follow it downstairs, past the snails and Bloodhound Knight, to the Prison Town Church grace.
Leave Prison Town Church through its large doors. Find the Man-Serpent just outside overlooking the prison-town roofs and identify the one carrying the round serpent-faced shield.
Defeat the shield carrier and collect any glowing drop. Return to the church grace and rest to repeat; the shield is random rather than a contract reward.

Requires eight Strength and weighs two. Standard affinity blocks 85% Physical damage and has 48 base Guard Boost.
Its 48% Fire protection is useful for a light small shield, but 18% Lightning protection remains a weakness. It does not provide full Physical protection.
No Skill is fitted by default, so the right-hand weapon skill stays available. Parry must be installed separately if that is how you want to use it.
Farm Man-Serpents actually carrying the small round serpent-faced shield. Whip carriers and other serpent equipment are not interchangeable drop targets.
The early Prison Town Church carrier can be reset without defeating Godskin Noble or Rykard. Volcano Manor's assassination contracts are unnecessary for reaching this dungeon farm.
Upgrade it with ordinary Smithing Stones to +25. The listed blocking percentages and base Guard Boost describe Standard affinity; changing affinity can trade physical protection for an element.
Can use compatible shield Ashes of War. Shield Grease or Scholar's Shield can improve guarding; these are defensive shield buffs rather than permission to apply ordinary offensive grease to every affinity.
