If you’re looking to collect the Brass Shield, we can guide you through farming it in the early regions of the Land Between.
Farming the Brass Shield in Elden Ring
You can acquire the Brass Shield by defeating Godrick’s Knights located in Limgrave, Radahn Soldiers found in Caelid, and Cuckoo Knights near Liurnia of the Lakes.
