Knight shield

The Knight shield is a round shield in Valheim that is not currently available through normal gameplay. At present, it can only be obtained with console commands, making it a debug or test item rather than a standard craftable weapon. Players looking for a usable iron-tier round shield should use the banded shield instead.

When equipped, the shield is not mounted correctly on the character. It clips into the player’s arm, and when it is sheathed or used for blocking, it is held sideways rather than in a standard upright position. This makes its in-game presentation visibly unfinished compared with normal shields.

• Not obtainable through regular progression
• Can only be spawned with console commands
• Intended as an iron-tier round shield alternative, but the banded shield is the obtainable version
• Has broken visual placement when equipped and when sheathed or blocking
