Quick Links

Elden Ring players out there who are trying to get the One-Eyed Shield can look to this guide for details. Before going further, players should know that they will need to have access to one of the later regions in the game called Mountaintops of the Giants. To get there, Elden Ring must use the Grand Lift of Rold by getting the Haligtree Medallions.

One-Eyed Shield Location

Elden Ring players can get the One-Eyed Shield by defeating an enemy called Chief Guardian Arghanthy at Guardians' Garrison at Mountaintops of the Giants. The closest Site of Lost Grace is outside the fort, called Whiteridge Road. Players should fast travel there and follow the route below to get to the enemy location.

Where to Find Chief Guardian Arghanthy

Starting from the nearby Site of Lost Grace, players should head south towards the Garrison. There will be many enemies in this area, so try to avoid them and head up the staircase on the right-hand side.

Instead of going through the door to the northwest, turn left to enter a small open-air room. There will be enemies underneath the tarp in the middle of the room, so defeat them or run away.

Don't go up the staircase that hugs the wall. Instead, players can turn left to find a ladder in the corner of this room.

Head up the next staircase, and players will eventually see a group of boxes and barrels that can be destroyed to uncover a gap in the wall.

Drop down to the wooden pathway below. Walk around the edge of the tower and then go up the next staircase.

To the left will be a small enclosed space with some enemy dogs, so take care of them so they don't interfere with the fight against the chief guardian, who will be waiting for players in the area to the right.

Once he's defeated, he'll drop the shield and 5000 Runes.
