The Shield is an item Harry can use to protect from enemy attacks when thrown from above such as fruit from Monkeys, attacking Natives/Porcupines or to break spike pillars blocking paths.
The Shield has a native artwork on it and is orange/has a bright wood design to it.
How to use[]
The Shield use cases are taught in the Initiation Rights, such as holding it up to avoid fruit attacks from above, attacking Porcupines (or any spikes thrown by them or Coconuts by Natives).
The Shield can be held up to avoid fruit attacks from above by using the right analogue stick on PS2/Xbox/GameCube or on Wii the B button and holding the Wiimote up.
For Porcupine or Native coconut attacks thrown from in front just let the enemies throw them at Harry and they bounce off. Harry can do a Shield attack to hit enemies. This is the same attack button as the general attacks without the Shield.
How to obtain[]
Harry obtains the Shield from the Blue Mask Native Chief in the Native Village in Native Territory, before the Initiation Rights and after getting butterflies in Butterfly Glade for Micay as a rewards now that she has gone back to the village.
How to swap out for other gear[]
If the player wants to swap it out for other items they can by holding down the d-pad in the direction/slot they want to swap it to. So if they want to swap it to the left d-pad, hold the left d-pad then select the Canteen and it will move to that left side slot on the gear HUD.
Trivia[]
- The Native Chief mentions about using the Shield to swim for ten seconds and then it will sink, this is a joke line of dialogue, no functionality for this exists in the game.
