Asgard Shield Reloaded FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft my first giant sword?
Gather six pieces of any material (wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamond) and arrange them in a crafting pattern with a stick to create a giant sword. Giant swords deal more damage than regular swords and can block attacks like shields do.
What's the difference between the shields in this mod?
Each shield has unique strengths and weaknesses designed for different combat roles—some may excel at blocking certain damage types or provide different defensive benefits. Experiment with different shields to find which suits your playstyle and the enemies you're facing.
How do I upgrade a shield with gold?
Combine your shield with gold in a crafting grid or anvil to upgrade it and improve its stats. The exact improvements depend on which shield you're upgrading.
Can I use giant swords and shields together?
Yes, you can hold a giant sword in one hand and a shield in the other, allowing you to both deal high damage and block incoming attacks.
Do I need specific gear to fight Hexxit creatures?
Different Hexxit creatures have different resistances and attack patterns, so matching your shield and sword choice to the enemy type will give you a significant advantage. Refer to the 'Prepare for Hexxit Creatures Using Appropriate Gear' guide for recommendations.
What materials can I use to craft giant swords and shields?
You can craft with wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamond—each material tier affects the durability and damage output of your weapons and shields.
Can I repair shields and giant swords?
Yes, you can repair them using an anvil with the same material used to craft them, or by combining two damaged items of the same type.
Do shields break if I use them too much?
Shields have durability and will eventually break with heavy use, but they can be repaired or upgraded with gold to restore and improve their performance.
Is there a best shield to use for all situations?
No—each shield is designed for different combat roles and enemy types, so the 'best' shield depends on what you're fighting and your preferred combat strategy.
Do these weapons and shields work with enchantments?
Giant swords and shields can be enchanted like regular tools and armor, allowing you to further customize their performance for your playstyle.
