Bone Tower Shield is a workbench wall for Vikings who would rather stand their ground than dodge, made from three Skeleton trophies carried up out of a Black Forest Burial Chamber. It has 32 block armour.
How to Craft
Crafted at a level 3 Workbench from:
- 10x Wood: chopped from any tree.
- 10x Bone Fragments: dropped by Skeletons and found in Rancid Remains.
- 3x Skeleton Trophy: dropped by the Skeleton.

When to Use It
Early game. Its Bone Fragments and Skeleton Trophies drop from Skeletons in the Burial Chambers of the Black Forest.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it 3 times after crafting, and each level needs the station built one step further up than the last. The other figures on this page are for quality 1, so this is the ladder your own copy sits somewhere on:
| Quality | Crafting Station | Block armor | Durability | Workbench level | Resources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Workbench (Level 3) | 32 | 200 | 3 |
|
| 2 | Workbench (Level 4) | 38 | 250 | 4 |
|
| 3 | Workbench (Level 5) | 44 | 300 | 5 |

Properties
It gives 32 armour and 100 block force from a Workbench, with no Forge and no metal needed. The Bone Fragments come from the Burial Chambers, which puts tower-shield numbers in your hand a whole tier early.
A tower shield cannot parry. It costs 10% of your movement speed while drawn and raises the cost of a dodge roll by the same 10%, and in exchange it blocks harder than anything else in its tier. The parry you give up is the one that staggers the attacker into taking double damage.
Notes
- Blocking costs up to 10 stamina, depending on how much damage gets past the shield. The block breaks if the damage that gets through fills your stagger bar, which holds 40% of your maximum health, or if you run out of stamina.
- Block force is how hard a block pushes a melee attacker back. It ranges from half strength to full strength, depending on how much of the shield's block armor the hit used up.
- Some weapons have their own parry bonus: 4x on Knives and 6x on the Flesh Rippers. That beats every shield, but it only multiplies the weapon's own small block armor.
