Artorias's Greatshield isn't worth it, not to me at least. Never was a fan of greatshields. the best shield is silver knight, which you'll find later. Well I thought going in blighttown with it would be nice but the spider shield is great for blocking poison. Can you even parry with greatshields? If not, billy-goat that it's too much fun to not parry.

No you can't parry with greatshields.
grass crest is one of the most popular shields for more professional runs because it mostly blocks all damage, it's light and has a low str requirement, and it regenerates your stamina faster when you have it equipped, even on your back. Useful for 2h runs. Plus there's the black halberd knight right next to it, and if you get that halberd then you're gonna destroy the game because that weapon is FIERCE.

I could have swore my kite shield is better than the crest shield... Maybe I don't have it. And i do have a normal halbard that's quite nice in certain situations.
But a low strngth req sounds NICE. The kite shield isn't too heavy I don't think.
Oh and I ended up kicking lautrec off the cliff. His ring is quite nice.
And i found the first bonfire in blighttown.

you're doing good jon keep it up. The Ring of Favor and Protection (henceforth, the FAP ring) is one of the best in the game, but you CANNOT remove it or it's destroyed forever. Also killing lautrec early removes a fairly neat part of the game later, but if you ever replay the game after knowing what you're doing, maybe you can check it out.
The kite shield is ok, but there's better. the balder knight shield is great, and has wonderful poise/block value.
if you don't know what poise is, i'll run it down real quick:
poise is what stops you from being staggered by a hit. Heavy armor gives good poise. Shields have a block value (not the damage value) that shows how much stamina you lose from taking a hit. Most shields have around 50 at the start.
I would recommend spider shield in blighttown. did you get the rusted ring yet

I know what poise is lol. Mine is around 80 I think. I'm going with the stone set I got before fighting Sif. It's quite nice.
I wish more games were like dark souls in some ways. And i read about how you fight lautrec and he kills the fire keeper and you do something to get her voice back.

I do have the rusted ring as well and I plan on using it when I get into the water below.
I billy-goating died by accidentally getting myself cornered by three enemies and when I got out i stepped off the ledge lol
