Descend from the lighthouse and follow the nearby river northwards to a broken bridge, northeast of the Old Pargrun Wall and the Western Pargrun Wall Beacon fast travel point. Proceed to the bridge's southern end, swim down to the riverbed, and find a westward opening leading to a cave. Inside, you'll discover a chest containing the Wind and Wave shield.
