Notes
The Cuckoo Greatshield can be found at the following location:
Chance to drop from any Cuckoo Knight wielding the greatshield
Farming route (click for image): If you farm this route in reverse coming from Bellum ChurchGrace, you can snipe the sitting Cuckoo Knight first and ignore the other mobs. By the time you kill the last Cuckoo Knight you should have enough distance between you and the other mobs to go out of combat. If you start from the East Raya Lucaria GateGrace Site of Grace and kill the sitting Cuckoo Knight last, you'll have to either run back to the site of grace, kill all the surrounding mobs or use your Memory of Grace, since being in combat will prevent you from fast traveling.
