| “ | A shield fit for absorbing attacks and striking back, moulded after the great wall in Asgard built by the giant Hrimthur. Protect the realms. | ” |
–Official description | ||
The Stone Wall Shield is wielded by Kratos in God of War: Ragnarök.
Description[]
The Stone Wall Shield is one of two shields that Kratos can acquire from Brok and Sindri, after the Guardian Shield is rendered inoperable, following a fight with Thor and another with The Huntress.
This shield is specialized for blocking standard and (to a point) yellow ring enemy attacks. Once the shield builds up enough charge from blocking those hits (indicated by a bright orange glow), the player can strike back with a shield slam to the ground, interrupting blue ring attacks, breaking enemy guard, inflicting moderate Stun damage, and can toppling smaller enemies into the air.
Crafting & Upgrade Data[]
Below is the acquisition and upgrade data for this shield. Upon visiting Sindri's House for the first time, Kratos has the option to craft this shield or the Dauntless Shield entirely for free. Should he pick the latter first, the cost of crafting the Stone Wall Shield is listed below.
The Stone Wall Shield can also be equipped with a Rönd of the player's choice.
