## Entrada del códice

*«...Égida, el Escudo del Caos, desciende de la mismísima Égida que empuñaron Zeus y su hija preferida, Atenea... El dios del trueno defendió a sus hermanos y hermanas usando este escudo cuando, juntos, planearon expulsar a los titanes a los confines más bajos del Inframundo. Aunque se hizo añicos, una efigie ardiente permaneció, con su poder aún intacto. Un poder sellado en la manifestación de una entidad tan espantosa que incluso los titanes le temían. Con una fuerza incontrolable, apenas funciona a modo de defensa. Muy al contrario, sus fauces retorcidas aumentan la impetuosidad de quien lo porta, destrozando hueso y rocas por igual con poco esfuerzo y considerable fervor. {#CodexBoldFormat}Confieso que no pude sostenerle la mirada. En la familia de armas que se emplearon para zanjar la guerra contra los titanes, las otras armas del grupo casi parecían vivos, pero en este caso, podríamos omitir ese {#DialogueItalicFormat}"casi". Aún me transmite una sensación a la que prefiero no dar nombre. Espero que el siguiente portador de Égida pueda congeniar con ella.»*

## Fighting style

The main attack is a single swing that hits in an arc and knocks enemies back. Holding the attack button will block damage from the front, and releasing will perform a shield bash forwards, dealing damage to enemies hit. The special throws the shield, which bounces between enemies and objects before returning.

It's worth noting that the shield is capable of blocking nearly anything, including attacks from bosses, except for traps and AoE attacks.

## Aspects

The Shield of Chaos has 4 Aspects: Zagreus, Chaos, Zeus, and Beowulf. Like all other weapons, each Aspect has 5 levels that can be unlocked by spending Titan Blood. The higher the level of the Aspect, the more effective its improvement is. Reaching the highest level in all Aspects requires 51 Titan Blood. An Aspect will not only change the appearance of the Shield of Chaos, but will also improve its attacks. The Aspect of Beowulf has a unique move-set which changes the fighting style of the Shield of Chaos.

Aspect of Zagreus
*Sometimes the bone-etched visage shudders as though it means to speak.*
(+3 / +6 / +9 / +12 / +15)

Aspect of Chaos
*All sprang from the primordial depths; only one artifact bore witness.*

(Total: 15 Plantilla:Artifact Icon)

\***Blitz Disc** will move through foes until stopping in place for 10 seconds or until **Special** is pressed again, at which point it travels back to Zagreus. Deals damage every 0.3 Sec., even when travelling back. You can still **Attack** before the shield is recalled.

## Notes

* The Shield of Chaos is based on the Aegis from Greek mythology.
* Both Charged Shot and Power Shot ignore shields wielded by Greatshields and Theseus. Shield throws can also circumvent shields if homing in from the back.
* The bonus shields from Chaos aspect are not affected by Explosive Return. Catching all the shields will only deal area damage once.
* The bonus shields from Chaos aspect are not affected by Dread Flight. Only the uncharged shield throw bounces 6 times. If you use Bull Rush to activate the Chaos aspect bonus, all shields thrown will only bounce once.
* The bonus shields from Chaos aspect are not affected by Dashing Flight. If you use Bull Rush to activate the Chaos aspect bonus, then activate Dashing Flight, only the center shield will become faster and deal extra damage.
* When using the Aspect of Chaos, Chaos will occasionally speak throughout the run.
* When using the Aspect of Beowulf, the boons for your cast will have different names. Example: *Flood Shot* -> *Flood Flare*
* When using the aspect of Zeus, any boon that upgrades your **Special** (for example Thunder Flourish), will apply the effect for each tick of damage that the special deals, same is true for the Ares doom effect and Dionysus hangover.
