With time, Artorias became fully-corrupted by the Abyss (though, in hunting the corrupted denizens of Oolacile, it is clear he didn't wholly forget his mission). With his left arm shattered following his confrontation with Manus, he had no use for the shield and chose to wield his greatsword in his one good hand. At some unspecified time in the past, when Oolacile was attacked by the Abyss, Artorias traveled to Oolacile to rescue Princess Dusk of Oolacile.ĭefeated by Manus and the Abyss, Artorias sacrificed his great shield to protect his loyal companion, a young Sif, from the myriad Humanity Sprites that littered the deepest reaches of Oolacile. This allowed him to enter The Abyss, the home of the Darkwraiths and the Four Kings themselves. When in New Londo Artorias discovered the ability of abysswalking earning him his title: Artorias the Abysswalker. Lord Gwyn bequeathed him with a custom-made ring, the Wolf Ring, to assist in his already unmatched ability to wield a greatsword. Artorias had an unbendable will of steel, which both helped and fed his hatred for servants of the Dark, particularly the Darkwraiths of Kaathe.

Knight Artorias was one of the four Knights of Gwyn, the commanding knights of Lord Gwyn's army.


He is located just before Oolacile Township in the DLC portion of the game. Knight Artorias is a Boss in Dark Souls Remastered.
