📋 About This Mod

Community Contest - Shield Bonanza is a collection of 145 shield skins based on illustrations submitted by the community back in 2014 before the Release of Dark Souls 2. This mod pack contains high quality 4k custom made PBR materials (Albedo, Normal, Roughness and Metallic maps) for 145 different shield designs.

Shield Bonanza brings to life the now legendary shield designs (At least the ones i could still find online) of the 2014 Community Contest and aims to commemorate Dark Souls 2 and its undying community, its mod scene revitalize by DarkSouls2LightingEngine (Made by Ragevitamins) and my very own passion for the game. As of now, on its 1st revision, Shield Bonanza adds skin replacements for the Revel's Greatshield, Iron Parma, Sunlight Parma, Phoenix Parma, Golden Wing Shield, Blossom Kite Shield, Watchdragon Parma and Large leather shield.

As mentioned before this were all the shields i could get my hands on, this came of course with many different format and quality images so if you know of any missing shields that didint made the cut in this 1st revision, please submit them to me on the comment section and you may see them in the future.
