The Shield of the Guilty explained
The Shield of the Guilty is a small shield that requires 8 Strength to wield. It makes a poor choice for protection, but you can use it to parry or toss an Ash of War on it to give you some useful skills. Thanks to its briars, it even makes a decent attacking shield.

The Shield of the Guilty’s item description reads:
Shield made to venerate a maiden whose eyes were crushed by Briars of Sin before being reborn in these lands. Venerating the repose of the soul, this shield boosts focus. The briars can be used to attack foes.
Where to find the Shield of the Guilty
The Shield of the Guilty can be found within the Demi-Human Forest Ruins in Weeping Penninsula. Though there is a large boss here that you can face off against, you won’t necessarily have to do so to reach the shield.
When you arrive at the ruins, note that there is a cellar outside the main building housing the boss. You’ll need to jump over a wall to reach the stairs leading down. Once you’ve lept over the wall, follow the stairs down to a chest, which holds–you guessed it–the Shield of the Guilty.
