@@shavooo "They're fine, thanks. I think my son wants to be a Dragonslayer, too... talking about nothing other than that... Maybe I'll gift him an armor of his own! What about your wife?"
And if that would be the real Ornstein and Ciaran's Ai wouldn't be depressed by the death of Artorias (She'd probably fight differently if we thought her some other time)
Artorias woulda been in his prime lorewise but gameplaywise we fight him after he goes down and gets beaten back by the abyss. He woulda been in his prime just before he went down and did that
I'm pretty sure artorias in his "prime" hits for less damage than the buffed up abyssal Artorias, he is pretty much just missing a shield from his left hand and walks slowly..Let's assume that his hits are a bit weaker than in his prime cause he doesn't really look that healthy but still he hits 2 times as hard when he is buffed, and I'm pretty sure the buffed up Artorias alone could kill Manus
Lore wise though, manus probably would've gotten beaten worse. #1 you'd have Gough actually using his bow far away sniping his ass #2 Artorias and Ornstein together on the front lines would be terrifying to fight #3 Cairan would've been flanking, attacking Manus' ass whenever he was busy fending off Ornstein and Artorias. Sure there might be one or two casualties, but the fact that manus is distracted while Gough snipes his ass is reason enough for victory
Yeah they couldve handled oolacile themselves but for plot reasons and dlc the chosen undead had to do everything. And the main issue with ornstein searchin for the nameless king theory...u know ornstein in anor londo being a illusion bla bla etc :)
Yeah, but lore wise Gough, Ciaran and Ornstein wouldn't have survived the Abyss to get to Manus. Artorias's covenant was the only reason he could even try to take Manus on.
Manus against players: We have Dark Rain, Dark Ring and Dark Shotgun, in addition to wombo-combo. Manus against Four Knights: I'll take you down with my fists!!!
Was thinking the whole time how gentle he was being with them. The fact that he wasn't absolutely spamming dark magic halfway through like he does when *we* fight him made me disappointed.
From my experience he mostly uses his magic when your far away and trying to heal, so since all 4 Knights were constantly on him his AI just decided to put ‘em up.
It would be nice if someway if they made a another souls game but more based around the great war or a bit after or prime or late prime of the knights or something to those concept, just for the lore and other things among that.
I think it’s actually Gough who was the leader, but lots of people (in universe) thought it was Ornstein, especially after Gough left. I may be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure that’s the case.
This'd make an interesting alternate storyline, where Gwyn took the threat of the Abyss more seriously, or one where Artorias wasn't too proud to call on his fellow knights for support. Makes me wonder how a boss fight against an uncorrupted Artorias would be like, in the vein of the Pure Vessel for Hollow Knight.
I love how, while all 3 other knights just face tank manus, artorias' moveset seems to best counter manus. I mean you can see him jumping over his attacks, rolling through others, while the other 3 are either "me smash, hehehe stabb, or heheheh stabb"

Ornstein: How did I end up here? Artorias: AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH Ciaran: Quite down honey. Manus: ... Wasn't there another one? Gough: *teleports behind Manus* I hear your thoughts.
Long ago a undead fought against Artorias the Abysswalker, near the end of the battle when the dark almost fully consumed the brave knight, the undead plunged a amulet into artorias, it was no mere piece of jewelry as it repelled the dark from the brave abyss walker, it was a powerful tool once hidden in oolace but thanks to the strength and skill of the undead they had retrieved it another way then through the arena. After the abyss walker was cleansed from the mad darkness and was healed by the brave undead, he knew that he could not fight alone. So he sent word to Anor Londo, not for a army, but for a man, a man named Orenstien. The undead sought out Kiraan, a assassin and one of the four knights of Gwyn, and finally helped the great giant Goth see again. Together the four knights, reunited, marched on towards the dark that had come crawling from the abyss itself. Manus marched, and the knights marched against him.
Yeah, but Ornstein has gone from Anor Londo hell know where and hell know when, seeking the NK. The one we fighting in Anor Londo actually is an illusion)
0:26 Ornstein: "Alright guys! Let's do this! LEEROY JENKINS!!!" Ciaran: "Oh my God! He just ran in!" Artorias: "Screw this strategy! We're attacking right now and not lose the momentum!" Gough: "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!"
I can see Ciaran standing in the back of the room with the blank tired face she has gotten from the boys and their only strategy being charge in swords swinging and beat it till it dies done over and over again. Ciaran: If people really knew about the “4 knights of Gwyn” like I do.......
Ornstein: HA! Told you guys this would be easy af. Gough: Yeah, it’s not like we’ve killed Archdragons or anything. What did this scrub expect? Ciaran: Artorias, you really lost to this guy? Artorias: IT WAS TO SAVE MY DOG OK?!
I just noticed that in DS1 only Artorias and Manus have "taunt" roar, at the start of the battles they both doing this, and in-battle they also doing this sometime, I think its a great thing to show how much the abyss corrupted Artorias. But still, MVP of this video is Gough, belly power!
Gough bodyslamming Manus into oblivion was epic!!! Also It's nice to see the characters scale difference (Cirain is so tiny compared to Artorias and the bois).
Ornstein: Legendary Dragonslayer Artorias: Is equipped with a sword that inflicts enough damage of the abyss Ciaran: Expert Duelist Gough: AND HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST!
This kinda makes me want to see a Dark Souls tv series that kinda acts as a prequel to DS1, focusing on the Knights of Gwyn. I feel like it'd be neat seeing their stories in more detail, we could see stuff like how Artorias and Sif met, how Ornstein and Smough became allies, Ciaran could actually do some cool stuff. There's potential.
I love Artorias' celebratory abyssal roar at the end of round 1. Also, if this is how the fight would have gone down, why Gwyn didn't send all four instead of just Artorias is beyond me lol
Artorias: Ornstein, I am Artorias, the coolest knight of Lordran, I even got a wolf, now I'm going to the abyss and kill Manus Ornstein: We're coming with you THE END
Ciaran: is the King's blade, high dexterity Artorias: uses dark to defeat the dark Ornsteinn: has a dragonslayer spear that uses to catalyze lightning Gough: *bonk*
Such a cool team, And they are so well color and size coordinated too. Like it makes me a special kind of happy to see them all different colors, designs, fighting styles, and flavors.
An important thing to remember about the lore is that Artorias and Hawkeye Gough are heavily injured. They're unable to use any of their most effective tactics. Artorias has been corrupted by the Abyss, he has a broken dominant arm, he's lost his magic shield and he's separated from his pet wolf and cat. Hawkeye Gough had hot wax or tar poured into his eyes rendering him blind so he's an amazing archer being forced to fight based on his hearing and brute strength alone, not to mention he's probably not in his peak fighting condition after spending years whittling in a tower. At full strength they could each probably take Manus alone, but the Abyss swallowing Oolacile has broken them before they had a chance.
Artorias was at full strength when he went into the Abyss. He didn't waltz in with a broken arm. He broke it during his failed attempt at fighting Manus. We find Sif close to Manus' boss room, and we can see the trail of corruption Artorias left behind as he left Oolacile dungeon. Elizabeth also implies that Artorias was completely out of his league.
Yeah but in Canon Manus hid at the bottom of the abyss like a bitch and only Artorias had the covenant + shield to get to him. Maybe he kites manus OUT the abyss then gang him with all 4?
@@rakshithanand8262 I mean. Was it stated that there could only be one covenant like the Artorias one? Because they could just go get 3 more and get to the abyss

Artorias: Is equipped with a sword that inflicts enough damage of the abyss
Ciaran: Expert Duelist
Gough: AND HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST!
This kinda makes me want to see a Dark Souls tv series that kinda acts as a prequel to DS1, focusing on the Knights of Gwyn. I feel like it'd be neat seeing their stories in more detail, we could see stuff like how Artorias and Sif met, how Ornstein and Smough became allies, Ciaran could actually do some cool stuff. There's potential.
I like how the second round almost makes it look like Ornstein made the sacrifice so they could land a killing blow.
Remember that: Gough is without his bow and Artorias have his best arm broken.
Manus: You can't defeat me!
Artorias: I know, but he can
Gough: slams Manus*
3:29
>Ciaran dies
>Artorias enters 2nd phase
The power of love
This is why you never go alone, Artorias!
I love Artorias' celebratory abyssal roar at the end of round 1. Also, if this is how the fight would have gone down, why Gwyn didn't send all four instead of just Artorias is beyond me lol
Artorias was the only one able to traverse the abyss. So it's not like Gwyn didn't want to send all 4, he couldn't.
The fact is he would then lose his 4 best soldiers. Game mechanic doesn't necessarily represent lore
Ciaran is so tiny!
So cute
Orstean: shouldn't we send someone with Artorias?
Gwyn: I SAID HE GOES ALONE!
3:28 I love how when Ciaran falls Artoirias says *"Naw the second phase is now monkey"*
Artorias: Ornstein, I am Artorias, the coolest knight of Lordran, I even got a wolf, now I'm going to the abyss and kill Manus
Ornstein: We're coming with you
THE END
While dying Manus remembered the words of Artorias when he beat him the first time...
"Don't let me and my friends catch you outside of the Abyss"
I like how in the first round Manus was already dead and Artorias still decided to go Super Saiyan anyway.
These 4 are the perfect team, the tanky friendly giant, an edgelord damage dealer, the stoic knight, and whatever cirian is
0:56 "Hey Artorias, relax. It's over lol"
Ciaran: is the King's blade, high dexterity
Artorias: uses dark to defeat the dark
Ornsteinn: has a dragonslayer spear that uses to catalyze lightning
Gough: *bonk*
Manus suddenly looks a lot less intimidating in broad daylight and an opponent that's larger than him.
See what really happened after artorias retreated is that he rounded up the boyz to jump manus' ass
Such a cool team,
And they are so well color and size coordinated too.
Like it makes me a special kind of happy to see them all different colors, designs, fighting styles, and flavors.
Ornstein to Artorias: "So what happened to you?"
Artorias, consumed by the abyss:
*silently stares.*
Gough is an archer because he throws his fist
"the archer class is really made of archers"
Ah, so this is why they had to fetch Artorias last time.
I was expecting the knights to dominate and was not disappointed.
Manus: I beat you once, I'll do it again
Artorias: I had a puppy before
“Hey guys it’s pat, and welcome back to another boss battle!
*The fantastic four is united again*
Artorias buffing on his dead opponent is the most gangster taught
Artorias and Ciaran look like that irl pic of the mountain from GoT and his girlfriend XD
Abyss cannot fathom the power of the big boi belly bop
Now the abyss is imprisoned inside his belly button lmao
I cannot begin to tell you how hype it was to just see the 4 knights all together in the intro shot
An important thing to remember about the lore is that Artorias and Hawkeye Gough are heavily injured. They're unable to use any of their most effective tactics. Artorias has been corrupted by the Abyss, he has a broken dominant arm, he's lost his magic shield and he's separated from his pet wolf and cat. Hawkeye Gough had hot wax or tar poured into his eyes rendering him blind so he's an amazing archer being forced to fight based on his hearing and brute strength alone, not to mention he's probably not in his peak fighting condition after spending years whittling in a tower. At full strength they could each probably take Manus alone, but the Abyss swallowing Oolacile has broken them before they had a chance.
Artorias was at full strength when he went into the Abyss. He didn't waltz in with a broken arm. He broke it during his failed attempt at fighting Manus. We find Sif close to Manus' boss room, and we can see the trail of corruption Artorias left behind as he left Oolacile dungeon. Elizabeth also implies that Artorias was completely out of his league.
Could you imagine how different the story would have been if Gwyn just sent all of them to handle that shit like it was trash day.
Yeah but in Canon Manus hid at the bottom of the abyss like a bitch and only Artorias had the covenant + shield to get to him. Maybe he kites manus OUT the abyss then gang him with all 4?
@@rakshithanand8262 I mean. Was it stated that there could only be one covenant like the Artorias one? Because they could just go get 3 more and get to the abyss
There are three legends in this world:
1- The Chosen Pruld
2- Vaati Bearer of the vidya Curse
3- Ashen VN one
And the Furtive Pineapple
Ohh it’s happening, blessed be the person who asked for this.
In the third round I really like how Artorias became enraged after Ciaran died
Manus: You couldn't live with your own failure...And where did that bring you...Back to me
1:02 Everyone is just casually walking, meanwhile Artorias is over there flexing and power screaming to impress Ciaran 😂
