Hey, i am making a build for co-op / pvp in anor londo, i have been able to get nearly all the black knight weapons, except the greatsword, but have yet to get my hands on their shield. Im using the BKGA but im willing to trade any of the other weapons for a shield. Im on PSN and currently SL 34.

Are you cosplaying, or desperate for fire resistance? Because there's no other reason to use the Black Knight Shield - the Silver Knight Shield has better stability and is pretty much the best medium shield.

i've been farming for this shield killing the black knight that spawns in the tower near the red-eyed boar. hopefully my strategy will work for you, I'm playing on PC so maybe not. can you backup your save game at all? basically just clear that area of the undead, go up the windy stairs to where the BK is sitting, make enough noise to where he sees you but stop short of him chasing you. it creates a checkpoint right there for me, literally right next to him. When you fight him just circle him as fast as you can until he either a) tries to hit you with his shield attack or b) does the drag-greatsword-upward slash attack. that sets him up for an easy backstab, usually takes 2 with drake sword. if he doesn't drop it quit your game, overwrite current save with the backed up save and do it again.

i've done it at least 30 times so far though with 202 item drop rating, bout to just take rsj2's advice. the thing has dropped once for me in the past, from the halberd BK in Darkroot Garden. he'd take much longer to farm though and I'm assuming he's just as likely to drop it as the rest anyway.
