Maren's Tip

Try fusing this weapon with monster parts for extra damage. Silver Lynel horns add the most attack power of any fusible material!

Description

A heavily corroded shield that barely holds its structural integrity — rust has eaten through sections and the edge crumbles on impact. The most common shield found in ancient ruins throughout Hyrule. Despite its terrible condition it still blocks attacks, and fusing materials to it creates surprisingly effective custom shields from throwaway bases.
