The Daughter of the Evening is the best Shield early for the Fighter vocation in Dragon's Dogma 2. It also has a unique hidden effect that allows you to turn certain monsters to stone.

A shield polished to a mirror sheen. Reflects the faces and baleful powers of foes back upon them, that they might know their own horror.


Secret Shield Effect

The description of the Daughter of the Evening shield eludes to a secret interaction that the shield has against the Medusia Boss, when she uses her baleful eye, which normally turns onlookers to stone, the shield can be used to reflect her powers back onto herself, instaltly turning her to stone and concluding the boss fight.

This gameplay mechanic is an easter egg reference to Greek mythology and the story of Perseus's using the reflection of his shield to find Medusa and slay her without looking at her directly.
