Cornerstone is a shield in Dragon Age II.

Acquisition

Looted off the body of Jeven during the quest Favor and Fault.

Tips

This is very useful against bosses such as the High Dragon (though he/she can still be grabbed) and Meredith (her area-of-effect stun will not work on its user), as it makes its user a more effective tank. Though there are other shields having higher armor, the "Immune to knockback" ability is worth the gap.

Trivia

If Aveline is equipped with this shield, bumping her through impassable obstacles like a flaming barricade will not knock her back (thus, proving the shield's ability). Instead, she always screams in pain. As for Hawke, though he/she cannot also be pushed back, he/she will not make any sound that he/she is hurt.
