Appearing in the 3DS remake, the shield increases defense by +55, style by +17, and cuts all elemental damage (save [[zap]]) by 30. [[Maribel]] and [[Aishe]] can equip it as long as they are at least level 35, giving them an excellent -60 elemental combo when used with the [[Princess Robe]]. It can be acquired from the first completion of the The Depths of Darkness [[DLC Tablet]].

}}
The goddess shield has a defense bonus of +55, and cuts elemental damage '''in half''', even though the flavor text states that it only reduces fire and ice damage. This includes [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Crack]], [[Bang]], [[Woosh]], and fire and ice breath damage. It can only be equipped by [[Jessica]] and [[Angelo]] in the original version, as well as [[Red]] in the 3DS remake.


Recipe: [[Thanatos' shield]] + [[Saint's ashes]]
In the original PS2 version, it was only possible to get one shield since there was only one thanatos' shield in the game and it can only be made with the [[Alchemy Pot]]. However, in the 3DS version, another thanatos' shield can be found in the [[Corridor of Memories]] and they are also dropped rarely by [[Hell's gatekeeper (recurring)|hell's gatekeeper]]s.
