Artorias had an unbendable will of steel, and was unmatched with a greatswordĬurved sword bearing the soul of the old wolf that stays with the Watchdogs of Farron.“ The wolf ring belongs to Artorias the Abysswalker. One of the special rings granted to the four knights of Gwyn. The death of the helm's owner can be surmised from the corrosive Dark of the Abyss, and the musty azure-blue tassel, once a symbol of pride and glory. Helm of Artorias the Abysswalker, one of Gwyn's four knights. Although this drained the shield, its magic defense remains high. Artorias, deeply scarred by the Abyss, used this to form a barrier to protect his compatriot Sif. The steel greatshield used by Knight Artorias, who succumbed to the Abyss. Swallowed by the Dark with its master, this sword is tainted by the abyss, and now its strength reflects its wielder's humanity. This greatsword belonged to Lord Gwyn's Knight Artorias, who fell to the abyss. Shield born from the soul of the great grey wolf Sif, guardian of the grave of the Abysswalker Knight Artorias.īoasts consistent defense and divine protection against various status effects. Sir Artorias hunted the Darkwraiths, and his sword strikes harder against dark servants The sword can damage ghosts, as it was cursed when Artorias joined a covenant with the creatures of the Abyss. Sword born from the soul of the great grey wolf Sif, guardian of the grave of the Abysswalker Knight Artorias. Use the soul of Sif, who inherited the divine knightsword, to acquire a huge amount of souls, or create a unique weapon. Soul of Sif the Great Grey Wolf, who guards the grave of Artorias the Abysswalker. Going to post a bunch of DS1 and DS3 lore on the matter. In some form or another it could of been Artorias blood, Sif, a descendant of either who knows? As far as their lordship goes, them sharing blood of a lord of cinder would make perfect sense specially if the lord was a wolf. My best bet is still on the concept that the blood they all share is that of Farron.

Over time this constant struggle brought ruin to the Legion and the land it held in high regards. Perhaps they were poised to gather Aldrich and Yhorm as well seeing that they were in direct assess to the only route to get to them, but they fell short of their quest as plague of the abyss hit their ranks and they desperately tried to weave it out but got stuck in a constant battle with themselves.

The Abyss Watchers, powered by wolfs blood, felt the beckoning of the lords of cinder and left their legion behind to fulfill its duty. It would make sense as to how the Undead Legion had fallen into its state of decay after the bell tole for the Cinders to return. After reuniting as one collective that its true power comes out. It's only after all the remaining wolfs blood reunite and gather into one vessel does it go ablaze in cinder form. Which poses the question, why would wolfs blood be so heavily emphasized, specially when it was starting to dry up? My best conclusion is that it was a lord of cinder, and somewhere down the line the Abyss Watchers found strength in taking it and splitting it amongst themselves.

I'm sure Fromsoft took note of this and decided instead of them being lords individually they link them all together under one entity rather the wolfs blood.Īs stated in their Cinders: "The Watchers of the Abyss swore upon their shared wolf's blood, which also served as their mandate as lords." If it were the case then the whole kiln at fire keeper shrine would be filled with thrones entitled to each Watcher. Now it can be argued that each member of the Abyss Watchers had linked the flame individual in their life times, but the fact of them all sharing one soul and one throne alone conflicts with everything we know of Lords of Cinder so far. However, at the end of the day, I'm still leaning on the concept of Farron being the wolf the Abyss Watchers all share blood with. Who knows really.Īs interesting as the translation for Farron goes with Iron, I'm ok with that premise of thinking. Had they been inspired to be named after him, then wouldn't it make sense to adopt his style of fighting just the same? Perhaps down the road Pharris, or a fan of his, joined up with the Watchdogs or acolyte. As great of archer Pharris might of been, I find it rather hard to see the legion to name themselves after him specially due to that fact that most of the legion members we encounter are sword and iron clad warriors.
