Knight of the Abyss: Improved Artorias Cosplay in Elden Ring PvP!

[@SanerootYT]

Unlike the pre-DLC faith based Artorias build, this one doesn't use any of the blackflame projectiles or buffs. Instead, I put points into int/arc just to use some more fitting abilities. This build turned out pretty good despite the stat distribution being all over the place. I'll still be "remastering" all of the DS1 boss cosplays, I'll just be doing it in a random order. :) Here's a link to Lil Mochida's Artorias/Sif Remix used in the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWqVZaqihNhnibc

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Absolute Cinema!

[@n0cturn3117]

Exceptional design! I wonder how do you manage to hide the character nose and mouse while turning everything into blue black like ?

[@DonBishop332]

What are the spells? Could I get a more detailed breakdown of the build? Looks fun!

[@thatlittlemonstrosity]

1:40 the guy was like “ain’t no way I’m seeing it right”

[@_SUPERN0VA_]

Oh no, he is back...

[@andree6262]

That last fight against a Vilhelm cosplay really was such a cool way to end it. Fantastic work as always!

[@N0wave333]

That Artorias unused dialogue… Imminent Tears Ahead 😣

[@leonwendker3610]

Its not unused. Its reversed (if i remember correctly).

[@TREVORVADER]

@@leonwendker3610I believe only the scream is used in the final game. I could be wrong though.

[@DarkDragonProductions-]

That fight on the tower was awesome. I was surprised how well the messmer helm works as Artorias's helmet as well

[@zyx12345abc]

i really like this cosplay. great work man

[@SanerootYT]

Thanks!

[@xXFuzzeeXx]

OH MY GOD THE FASHION IS SO CLEAN I THOUGHT IT WAS MODDED IN, THIS IS FIRE

[@SirAchillo]

We are going to walk the abyss with this one

[@mutzify883]

I love seeing your builds used across the whole spectrum of pvp encounters, you always pick such perfect spots for getting invaded and fighting a red. I loved your Sauron video for that too!

[@SanerootYT]

Thank you. Choosing PvP locations based on the cosplay is one of my favorite parts of planning cosplays nowadays. 😆

[@Draconian930]

1:50 What a polite gentleman that missed the opportunity to yeet you from elevator lol

[@Ryn9116]

2:33 that was the cleanest transition I’ve seen

[@ShadowOoOwalker]

Themed builds are always appreciated

[@boneyardghoul931]

bro this is actually incredible, you nailed it.

[@irontheonlyone9452]

BROOOOOO YOU ARE A SAVIOUR!! I just started dark souls and I planned an Artorias build, but i didnt found the perfect fashion! This is the best solution!! Thank thee!

[@beetroot_chutney]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. You have a cool editing style with the soundbytes and clip overlays. Keep it up!

[@SanerootYT]

Thanks! :)

[@MrWood-uy3xh]

Can’t wait for nameless king

[@_Ethereal420]

This is the one ! Well alot of your cosplay builds are great but this is up there with the favorites

[@Kalamari24]

The Vilhelm fight was so good!

[@leahthegeek9677]

Thanks for the comparison videos, theyre really cool!

[@theshmuk5423]

I loved the secne of you and the other cosplayer, that was a nice shot

[@nox_2220]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought you were using modded armor lol, the drip is amazing 🔥

[@noahdavis327]

Excellent build my friend. 🍻 cheers thanks

[@MisterT.2962]

Another sword you could use is the iron greatsword, it doesnt look more like his sword but it doesnt have a sheath, and thats a big thing for me. Other than that little nitpic this is amazing, much love :)

[@durvius2657]

Love this! Best one yet in my opinion. :)

[@volkan202]

Another great vid! Love this channel

[@judthouzeau1279]

Banger gg guy's respect the idea for the armor 10/10 skills wombat 10/10

[@shut]

insane work bro

[@ShaneForty7]

This was dope ! Still waiting on champion gundr! 🔥🔥🔥

[@bananadoppiotm1088]

It’s enough nostalgia to make a grown man cry :’)

[@a.ah.689]

I think the putrescent spells was a really smart idea! Also the helm and overall design looked great. What do you think of savage lion claws? Its not as a good as lion claws imo but i havent used it much for pvp

[@SanerootYT]

It's hard to put into words, but I feel like Savage Lion Claw just doesn't have the same feeling of "impact" Lion Claw has. That being said I grew to like it too. The follow-up attack is a lot easier to hit people with than Lion Claw.

[@ghoulbuster1]

Man I hope we get an upgrade one with three hits just like artorias.

[@Jullegamersz]

cool thing is Artorias has only a quarter of his humanity left trying to stop himself from becoming a pawn of the abyss

[@alessiobilleci7246]

Good job Sane! one of my favourite bosses of all time given justice! hey one question, will you make a video with all the scuffed bosses sliders' i really want to use your Aldia cosplay build so bad!

[@SanerootYT]

Dunno about all of them since most of my slider videos are dead in the water with maybe one comment and that one would take hours to edit...😅 But I'll be uploading some requested sliders within a few days, I'll be sure to drop Aldia there too. Any other DS2 ones you'd want while I'm at it? :)

[@alessiobilleci7246]

@@SanerootYT maybe Looking Glass knight? I initially tough of using an helm for it but there is not one similar enough. Although for sliders i'd be more in Sulyvahn's, i think the high priest hat might fit the face quite nicely and would like to test it. Also im very sorry that yours videos didnt get enough attention :( , thats probably because they arent about 23k damage dealing builds most people seem to care so much about.

[@gabryelrel2849]

Absolute cinema

[@PseudoNym13]

Aside from fkgs, lions claw 2 is my favorite new thing in the dlc

[@TamJazby]

Then what about fire knights greatsword with savage lions claw?!

[@AlejandroMartinez-fw3gt]

If I see someone with Vyke armor and doing that I'm just going to bow and fight like a man, I know shit will turn real there

[@geekparkingonly2802]

Incredible

[@Tackitt]

Could use the new wolf shield and do a pre-abyss artorias

[@SanerootYT]

Artorias part 3: pre-abyss. Could be fun, though not for a long while. 😆

[@Fdv9623]

It's incredible! What about Sekiro boss cosplay?? (Isshin or smth)

[@FoxingGames1718]

Amazing build, awesome cosplay and enjoyable pvp moments. but why is the screen backwards, I can’t be the only one to have noticed right???

[@SanerootYT]

It's only for that one colosseum fight. In my earlier Artorias cosplay people kept telling me he fought left-handed, so I swapped the screen on those clips as a joke. (Now he's fighting with his left hand.)

[@HonorKnights-hq1xq]

Honestly pretty good

[@martilizzard4212]

So cool!!!

[@suspicious_spy]

make a divine beast dancing lion build

[@Sawbones5334]

Please I beg of thee! A crystal sage build…

[@TheJackhammer3135]

So… how about that 416.4 equip load at 4:03 ?

[@SanerootYT]

It's from Winged Crystal Tear. Gives you light roll for it's duration even at heavy roll. Probably wouldn't for overloaded though. Maybe it'd go to heavy or mid.

[@TheJackhammer3135]

@@SanerootYT ah, forgot about that Crystal tear. Still insane it boosts one’s equipment load so much.

[@SanerootYT]

It's insane and has a long duration and yet I barely seem to see any other invaders with it. 😆

[@rattatart8101]

​@@SanerootYT because light roll is busted

[@SanerootYT]

​@@rattatart8101Kind of, but obviously the average 80+ poise tryhard invader with a meta build wouldn't care about how busted it is.

[@Mogus1984]

Somebody call prod immediately

[@badacid8685]

Sweet!

[@SifOfTheAbyss890]

Are you gonna cosplay Gael eventually? If so I have some ideas to share

[@SanerootYT]

Yup! Tho it'll be last or second last in this series. 😊

[@Sir.Alonne]

It's funny how people are so confident in saying "erm akchewally he was left handed 🤓" when there's no conclusive evidence that he was left or right handed. We have no way of knowing for sure.

[@SanerootYT]

FromSoft lore discussion in a nutshell. People get so confident about lore that is just vaguely hinted at... or sometimes even just headcanon. 😅

[@ghoulbuster1]

Wasn't he just using the arm that still works? Since his other hand broke.

[@Sir.Alonne]

@@ghoulbuster1 in the boss fight yeah, but because of a gimmick with his sword in ds2 where you have to wield it left handed to get all the cool flippy moves everyone's been arguing about which hand he used before his arm was broken for years.

[@leonwendker3610]

Thanks for letting me feel bad again by ending Arorias's life. He was my favorite Boss in the entire Dark Souls Franchise and i will miss him. I wish FromSoftware would made some Weapons or Weapon Skills that represends our old beloved boss.

[@ZackHolden]

What is the sliders and the armor

[@irgendwer3610]

maybe using some kind of beastmen moveset(one of the weapons that make you croutch and attack agrassively)? artorias doesn't move like one but would fit

[@antoniolisboa3865]

Please make souls of cinder I really like it

[@calebchurch9826]

Can you do orhan of kos please

[@matteodariba6064]

hey, does thoses lines are the ones cut from Artorias ? (amazing cosplay tho)

[@ZackHolden]

They are in DS1's game files but they weren't used

[@BigHatLoganGaming]

Have you posted sliders for your outro character anywhere? The trina corruption thing going on with her is very interesting

[@SanerootYT]

No, but I'll be sure to do that when I eventually start posting sliders on the other channel again. 😅

The equipment & stats are shown at the very end. You might need to pause because they go by quickly. :) I'll upload face sliders tomorrow.

[@Mrwilliam22120]

Thank you very much. Keep up the good work !

[@Hegemol900]

Artorias is not left handed. He only wields his sword in his left hand as his sword arm got crushed. Likely by Manus. So yeah, Artorias is not even fighting with his dominant when we fight him. Yikes.

[@SirAchillo]

His swordarm is the left arm which is the crippled one

[@leahthegeek9677]

Wasnt his hand broken bc he held the shield to save Sif? People usually hold their shield in the non dominant hand. Edit: oh nvm I just checked a photo of him and the crippled hand is the left hand which he held his shield with. I mistakenly remembered that his right hand was broken not left.

Raime, burnt ivory king, dancer of the Boreal valley, throne watcher, ds3 evangelist, Vordt, Iron golem. To be clear, I don't think artorias is left handed but think before you leave a stupid comment next time.
