Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition Guide | How to Get the Ritual Thrusting Shield

The Ritual Thrusting Shield is a new weapon in Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition that can be found inside the Caelid Colosseum.

Unlike a traditional shield, the Ritual Thrusting Shield can be used to attack while maintaining its defensive capabilities.

You don't need to defeat a boss to obtain it, but reaching the Caelid Colosseum requires traveling through a dangerous section of Caelid.

Where to Find the Ritual Thrusting Shield

The Ritual Thrusting Shield is located inside the Caelid Colosseum, which is found in northern Caelid.

The easiest route begins at the Deep Siofra Well Site of Grace. From there, travel through the canyon toward the Colosseum. The area is guarded by powerful golems, so using Torrent and riding past them is recommended.

Ritual Thrusting Shield Requirements
