Code Vein 2: Shield Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide
In Code Vein II, Shields are a subcategory of Defensive Formae. Unlike the first game, where blocking was tied to your weapon and Blood Veil, shields in the sequel are separate equipment pieces that occupy a Forma slot.
They allow for 100% physical damage reduction at the cost of high stamina consumption and specific stat requirements (usually Mind or Fortitude). Here are several tips that will help you when using a Shield:
- Always check the "Burden" on a shield before equipping it. If your Mind or Vitality is too low, you will stagger instantly upon blocking a heavy hit.
- Holding your shield up slows down your stamina regeneration. Only raise the shield right before an impact (a "Just Block") to minimize the stamina penalty.
- Some late-game Defensive Formae (found in Luna Rapacis) allow your shield to temporarily turn into a petrification field. Look for the Stone-Gaze Shield near the final celestial spire to unlock this.
