Choosing the best shield in Elden Ring can be a real headache, but if you're running low on stamina, Great Turtle Shell is what you need. This shield slightly increases stamina recovery speed, which can have a wonderful effect if you use it with other turtle accessories. In addition, this shield has a unique skill, Barricade Shield, which not only temporarily increases the strength of your shield but also significantly reduces stamina costs. The owner of Great Turtle Shell died quite a long time ago, so you can go and pick it up from his corpse.
