Where to find

Map pending
LocationTaylew's Ruined Forge upper side room

Rauh Base

Starting Site of Grace: Taylew's Ruined Forge

Before you go

  • To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
  1. From Moorth Ruins grace in Scadu Altus, ride northeast to the small triangular pool. Look for the cave beside a statue of Marika and a Scadutree Fragment.
  2. Enter the cave and follow it past the perfumers to the glowing golden tree. Take the path to its right down into the swamp.
  3. Turn left through the route beneath the rock and continue until you emerge into Rauh Base. Activate Ancient Ruins Base grace ahead.
  4. From Ancient Ruins Base, follow the road north-northeast beneath the enormous bridge to Taylew's Ruined Forge. Enter the structure and activate its grace.
  5. Enter Taylew's Ruined Forge north of Ancient Ruins Base. Descend the left stairs and ladder, cross the broken walkway and reach the huge sloping pipe above the lava.
  6. Jump onto the pipe and run to its upper end. Jump off to the right and enter the side passage leading to the room with two Golem Smiths.
  7. Climb the broken stone ramp on the right to the higher ledge occupied by the golem with a lava pot. Loot the corpse near the wall for the shield. Watch for the lava slime dropping from the ceiling above the pickup.

Notes

  • Requires 10 Strength, 15 Dexterity, 11 Intelligence and 11 Faith, and weighs 2.5. Its 84% Physical protection and 47 base Guard Boost make it less protective than a full Physical-blocking shield.
  • Discus Hurl costs three FP. It tosses the shield upward before the shield homes toward its target; ordinary attacks do not replace this skill with free ranged throws.
  • The initial toss can hit something close enough, followed by the homing strike. The opening contact is not a guaranteed second hit against a distant enemy.
  • The skill uses the shield's attack power. Its current Physical damage scales more strongly with Strength than Dexterity; the Intelligence and Faith requirements do not turn the discus into a spell or add elemental damage.
  • Smithing Talisman improves the thrown attack by 10% against enemies or 5% against players. Shard of Alexander also improves the skill, and their bonuses can work together.
  • The throw cannot be charged, so Godfrey Icon does not apply. Without enough FP or the requirements, the weak toss does not produce the normal powerful homing attack.
  • Upgrade it with ordinary Smithing Stones to +25. Discus Hurl and the affinity are fixed. Effects from an unrelated right-hand weapon are not carried by the discus.
  • Its corpse pickup is in the right-hand golem room before changing the main pipe's tilt. The smithing altar and Taylew's ashes are separate rewards farther along.
