Yeah, he was supposed to fight the Abyss and it's inhabitants... So he did that!... All I can think is how it could have been if it was the original Artorias not the consumed one..
Capra demon: hehe yes my dear dogs, let's wait for the chosen undead to walk in so we can bleed stagger him again. O hush now, there he comes... WAIT IS THAT ART-
@@JoeyCentral In theory, Soul of Cinder phase 1 is you in dark souls one who killed Gwyn and after killing yourself in phase 1, Gwyn, the first lord of the age of fire retakes control in phase 2.
Very true but healthy artorias would not have the abyss power buff so dunno if he would actually be that much stronger. Way more durable due to holding his shield for sure but less destructive is my guess
I think the most tragic fight in this video is Artorias vs Gwyn due to lore implications. However the funniest is Artorias making sure he doesn't lose to Orinstien specifically.
To be fair, Ornstein and Smough are still in their prime, while Artorias is just a shadow of his former self. Prime Artorias would no diff both of them. I think that lorewise, Prime Artorias could even beat Gwyn, because Artorias is ''unmatched with a greatsword''. He was probably the greatest fighter of all time before he got bamboozled by the Abyss.
@@mynamekanye240 tbf that wasn't even Ornstein, that's just an illusion created by Gwyndolin, and Artorias could never beat Gwyn. Also, let's not forget that Ornstein was the leader of the knights, not Artorias.
I like how at first Artorias screams in camera's direction and tries to get out like he is mad at you for putting weak and optional bosses against him but when you set more challenging foes like lords or O&S he seems fully into it.
4:26 "I don't want to fight you now... You're a Guardian of the fortress, someone who will be used to prove the Chosen Undead, that he can enter Anor Londo." 4:31 (throws rocc) 4:35 *Audible anger*
So, thoughts: there's a big leap in power from capra demon to gaping dragon, who did surprisingly well for such an early boss. Seath is pretty weak without curse. Centipede demon is pretty dangerous even without the lava damage. Nito probably could have done better if he didn't use his aoe blast, and his bigger skeletons had joined the fun. Winners: Ornstein and Smough(Artorias gets to phase 2) Centipede Demon(if Artorias takes lava damage) Gwyn Unfought: Moonlight Butterfly Priscilla Sif Gwyndolin(already done) Stray Demon(redundant on account of Firesage) Ceaseless Discharge Bed of Chaos DLC bosses(all already done)
Gaping Dragon always does good against AI, because they don't know how to fight him. I messed up the first recording of Artorias vs Centipede with no lava damage - Artorias did a lot better that time, because Centipede didn't interrupt his buff. On the first attempt against Ornstein and Smough (that got my video claimed), Smough had only 380 HP left at the end. I didn't want to make Artorias fight Sif. I didn't make him fight Ceaseless Discharge, because I thought he would just run toward him and fall off the ledge. Though I should test, because there is maybe a collision for enemies there. Bed of Chaos is a gimmick Boss, so that wouldn't work.
Gwyn é facilmente um dos 3 chefes mais difíceis desse jogo, você já disse o motivo, SEM PARRY ele é muito Difícil, sem contar que é quase impossível usar Estus contra ele, ele é muito agressivo
@@SEGA-vs5esthat's true, but as you said, only without parrying him. If you master and domain the parry he'll be one of the easiest if not the easiest boss of the game. That's why I love him so much as a final boss. He's not there to make the game more difficult but to test you and to see if you have learned and improved throughout the game; if you have he'll be easy and rewarding, but if you haven't he'll be easily one of the most difficult bosses of the game
it makes sense that Artorias would be fine considering 1. he was already consumed by the abyss and 2. he was the only person that could traverse the abyss without being consumed by it
Aside from some of the early game bosses where he can just outright win the damage trades; It usually comes down to getting his damage buff off. The only boss in this video where his buff didn't help him was Ornstein and Smough but Smough's charge attack seemed to proc way more times than usual probably down to the fact that the player will either stagger or get launched in the air from it giving immune frames.
Seeing him fight the four kings was so awesome. It makes you wonder what happened to him exactly. Why was the chosen undead able to withstand the abyss with artorias’s ring but not artorias himself? Was he simply driven mad trying to harness the abyss to his will against the four kings? Maybe he wasn’t powerful enough without channeling its power but it cost him all of who he was before.
The Chosen Undead is a human, and humans can resist the dark better because of their dark soul. Artorias is not a human, he is the same race as Gwyn. They don't have the dark soul, so the dark of the abyss is more harmful to them.
@@Pantagana that's correct and accurate and why occult gear does more to God's and all, but reading it back that sounds like something made up in fanfiction lol.
sometimes i get myself thinking about how would Gwyn be if he was a modern-modern souls like boss. I suffer for everyday cause it's ABSOLUTELY FRIGHTENING AND ALSO BEAUTIFUL. observation: of course, thinking about this without the parry tool ! Gwyn's cadence is freaking absurd for dark souls 1, wich i do not see as really ''fast'' game as dark souls 3 ( keep rowling)
Yes, Gwyn alone was that drived me to play Dark Souls for the first time some years ago. In fact, Miyzaki said in an interview he regretted letting him be a somewhat easy battle and being parriable (something that feels almost as a glitch unintended feature) as he wanted Gwyn to be the hardest challenge in the game. Unfortunately the second half of Dark Souls was rushed, so we can only imagine what it could be if they had more time to develop the game. What an even more epic fight Gwyn would be if he was harder and couldn't be parried.
I just first tried Artorias today. Honestly, i had more trouble against Sanctuary Guardian. But that's just because i still remember vividly of his movesets, because back then, i defeated him after countless tries.
It's almost like artorias is running away at the start of each fight going "come on guys, this is going to be boring! They're too weak!" Then he reluctantly finishes it in a few swipes. Lol
We looked at your curriculum and we saw you eat strange things...I am sorry but we had to turn down your request. Call Anor Londo reception to be relocated to your old job. Greetings, Ornstein
I saw a similar video with Melania fighting all the bosses, and I find it funny how artorious looks like he just wants to run away from every fight while Melania looks like she enjoys the slaughter
Can already tell im going to like this video just from the asylum demon part since artorias is one of the more agile bosses, so ill probably be making edits on what i like, official first edit, i quite like the gaping dragon fight, not especially the one in this video i just like the boss in general, that was fast, this is the official second edit, I like how quelaag gives just about every enemy and npc she fights a good run for their money, above a good number of later bosses do because of the lava and y e a h dunno what else to say rn, T h i r d e d i t, i really also like the iron golem fight, just seems like a good fight between two fellas even tho he usually loses i just like it, Another one, I want pinwheel to put up a good fight so bad in at least once of these videos since i also really like that boss lol, but i imagine it wont unless u put it up against like...actually im not that familiar with the ds1 or ds anything weak things like that so tis but a shame, Just made it to the end there and it honestly makes me really sad that he made it all the way up there only to lose against the first lord of cinder, the music does nothing to help the sadness of the notes as you see his dust fade away
I loved listening to my armor rattle in dark souls 1. Cant believed they removed it from dark souls 3 since players were bitching about it. Makes the game feel more dumbed down.
Ah nice, I was wondering when something like this would come around for the older games I wonder would something like this be possible in DS2 as well, like with Sir Alonne or Fume Knight edit: poor Pinwheel, he got ramrodded right in the face the poor bastard...

@Azathoth Yog-Sothoth And all Gwyn run, let's not forget that legendary feat
Favorite part was Artorias vs Gwyn. Can't defeat his old lord after all.
That was the most surprising outcome to me.
Gwyn is more aggressive, he could get a lot of hits in.

Why are you runing? *Why are you runing?!?*
Artorias likes to go for a walk.
A very enthusiastic walk.
