The Targe of the Blooded is a unique heavy shield found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Its appearance is that of a basic wooden shield adorned with large spikes and studs. While this shield does not carry any magical enchantments, the spikes on the shield inflict a wound, when bashed, which bleeds for five seconds. Contrary to popular belief, the bleeding damage does stack. It is one of the weaker heavy shields in the game, being comperable to an iron shield, thus it seems to be intended for use as a secondary weapon while still providing some defence.

Location

The Targe of the Blooded is carried by a hostile Redguard named Umana in the Dwemer Ruin of Alftand. She is encountered at the end of Alftand, where she immediately begins fighting with an Imperial named Sulla Trebatius. It can usually be found during the main quest, while the Dragonborn is searching for the Elder Scroll in Blackreach.

Smithing

The Targe of the Blooded can be upgraded at a workbench with a steel ingot and the Arcane Blacksmith perk, however it does not benefit from any smithing perks.

This means the shield cannot be improved past flawless quality without boosting the Smithing skill over 100. This can be achieved by using enchanted items and/or blacksmithing potions to Fortify Smithing.

Enchantment

Bashing with this shield inflicts this skill penalty on the bashed target:

It cannot be disenchanted to learn its effects.

Bugs

Selling the Targe of the Blooded to any merchant may cause a copy to appear in your inventory several days later.

This item doesn't appear to be able to duplicate on a mannequin, (via the Lakeview Manor glitch) possibly as it is a unique item.
