Baldur Shell

Description
Protects its bearer with a hard shell while focusing SOUL.

The shell is not indestructible and will shatter if it absorbs too much damage.

How to Acquire
In the southwest portion of the Forgotten Crossroads, there will be a chest that drops only 1.

Jumping down into the chest takes you to a cave guarded by two Elder Baldur, where the charm is located.

Usefulness
This charm is surprisingly lackluster, because taking a hit while focusing will still interrupt FOCUS and waste SOUL, but without dealing damage. On top of that, it can only regenerate by sitting at a Bench after broken. Due to this, Baldur Shell is outclassed by Quick Focus and even Shape of Unn for mid-battle healing.

Its best use is against bosses that have a certain attack that is difficult to avoid. Starting to FOCUS during that attack can save the player the trouble of having to dodge it. Even so, the its efficiency is debatable at best since it can only sponge a few attacks before shattering, losing its effect.
