What happened was I killed Jr. Balrog to get my key. I went into the special room in Sanctuary Entrance IV to get sayrim's shield. I used the portal in the picture and I hit the shield statue above to get my shield. Then, it teleported me to the Insignificant Being, but my ect was full. I never received a shield. Now, it is preventing me from entering the room.
I was at a misunderstanding of what was expected for me to accomplish. I thought a statues held a shield, but they are dropped from the jr. balrogs. Sorry for a false report.
That's correct, one of the statues holds the shield, and you need to find which one. It should not be dropping from the mobs, and it's going to be fixed once we have the real drop table implemented.
