The Thanatos' shield can be equipped by the Hero, Angelo, or Yangus. Can be upgraded to into Goddess Shield with the alchemy pot:

Recipe: Goddess Shield = Thanatos' shield + Saint's Ashes

One can be found in the Dragovian Path and in the 3DS version, another can be found in Memories Lane. The shield is a rare drop from a Hell's gatekeeper. It can be sold for 3,650 Gold Coins.
