Location
The blueprint for the Punishment shield is found in the Clock Tower behind a Puzzle door that requires the 
Bell Tower Key. Acquiring the key is done by finding four bells in the biome and ringing them in order from lowest pitch to the highest pitch. Hit them to ring them and the key will drop from the last bell if you have done it correctly.
Synergies
- Punishment turns all the player's blocks or parries on the offensive even if the shield doesn't send back projectiles. Chaining parries can easily clear big groups of enemies.
- Against Ranged attacks, Punishment is exceptionally useful, as its special effect has a great AoE, drastically increasing the amount of damage inflicted on the enemy.
Blind Faith and 
Instinct of the Master of Arms are exceptionally powerful choices. Both can easily trigger whenever Punishment parries something, thus significantly reducing the player's skill cooldown.
