imagine if they added him

Seriously, when I saw the idea of Artorias potentially being added to Elden Ring, my mind just went wild with all the 'imagine scenarios' we could conjure! As a huge fan of both Dark Souls and Elden Ring, the thought of facing The Abysswalker again, but this time in the vast, broken Lands Between, is just… *chef's kiss*. It’s more than just a fight; it’s a whole new layer of lore, challenge, and pure spectacle that would undoubtedly captivate us. First off, where would he even show up? I'm picturing him deep in the Lake of Rot, his corrupted form now twisted by the Scarlet Rot, making him an even more terrifying foe, perhaps immune to certain effects. Or maybe in the Consecrated Snowfield, guarding a secret path to a forgotten demigod, a lone wolf in the blizzard, his legendary greatsword shimmering with dark energy. The lore potential is insane! Imagine if his Abyss corruption could somehow connect directly to the Outer Gods, maybe even merging with the Frenzied Flame or the Death Blight – then the idea of 'tragedy must be averted' would take on a whole new, desperate meaning for Elden Ring players, trying to prevent a new kind of darkness from consuming their already shattered world. His moveset in Elden Ring would be absolutely brutal, right? Think about his iconic lunges, powerful greatsword swings, and acrobatic flips, but now adapted with Elden Ring's lightning-fast combat, jump attacks, and wider arenas. I can totally imagine trying to parry his massive attacks, timing my dodges perfectly against wide, sweeping strikes that now cover half the arena. We’d probably see new phases, too. What if he could summon shadowy versions of himself, mimicking his frenzied attacks, or even call upon spectral wolves reminiscent of Sif, but imbued with abyssal power? That would be a true test of skill and reaction time. The idea of summoning Spirit Ashes to help against The Abysswalker feels almost sacrilegious to the purity of a Souls boss fight, but also incredibly tempting for survival. Would Black Knife Tiche be able to keep up with his speed? Or maybe the Mimic Tear could mirror his own corrupted power? This isn't just about 'imagine scenarios spicy' in a romantic sense, but 'spicy' as in incredibly challenging, high-stakes, and exciting gameplay scenarios that push us to our limits! Beyond the visceral thrill of the fight itself, think of the narrative implications. What would his presence mean for the demigods and the Greater Will? Would he be a remnant of a forgotten age, a guardian now corrupted, or a new force of chaotic corruption sent by an unknown power? The beauty of these 'imagine scenarios' is that they let us dream up extensions to the games we love, filling the gaps and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. It's not just about a single boss; it’s about expanding the rich tapestry of interconnected worlds FromSoftware has painstakingly given us. I'd absolutely jump at the chance to fight Artorias again, even if it means dying a hundred times. It's the kind of epic encounter that makes these games legendary and keeps us coming back for more. What are your dream scenarios for him to appear?
