  • Turn left from the Site of Grace and follow the path. 
  • Turn right at the first fork in the path.
  • You'll see you are at the top of an underground waterfall. Take a sharp right again.

  • Attack the illusionary wall between the two brazers.
  • Head inside and open the chests to get the Candletree Shield. It is the second one from the right.

Pro tip: When you open up that illusionary wall, there's a group of three skeletons in an ambush that will attack you quickly. We recommend slashing them with a fast weapon 3 to 4 times to take them down before they can attack.
