To snag this shield, make your way to the Storehouse, First Floor Site of Grace. From there, head across the room and go up the stairs until you hit the third floor. Keep heading south, and you'll see a balcony you can jump over. Leap across to a platform on the left, and you'll find the Dueling Shield waiting for you. It comes with the awesome Shield Strike ability, letting you bash enemies with your shield!
If you haven't made it to Scadu Atlus yet, don't worry! You can get there by pushing through Castle Ensis, which is located northeast of Gravesite Plain.
