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 badly corroded shield covered in rust, found half-buried at ruins and abandoned camps throughout post-Upheaval Hyrule. Extremely weak in its current state. However, tossing it near a Rock Octorok triggers a restoration that can transform it into a Royal Shield, Hylian Shield, or other premium gear. Never fuse or use a Rusty Shield directly — always Octorok-restore it first for a massive upgrade.
