Inspired by the Aegis, the mythical shield Perseus used to protect himself from Medusa's stony gaze, the shield is made of mythril silver, freed from trace impurities through countless hours of refinement, and so perfectly crafted it is able to reflect images like a mirror. Older concept art has Medusa's reflection captured in the center of the shield and blue jewels embellished around the outside. In more recent depictions, the shield has become more round and features an intricate filigree design in the center. Due to its light weight and ease of use, many characters are able to equip it, such as spellcasters.

The silver shield has a defence bonus of +40 and unlike other titles in the series, it does not reduce elemental damage. It can be purchased for 8,800 gold at [[Tantegel]] and [[Kol]] and sold for 6,600 gold. They can be equipped by the [[Erdrick|Hero]], [[Warrior]]s, [[Priest]]s, [[Thief|Thieves]], and [[Sage]]s.
