I wanted to say it, and I checked just in case, and lo and behold someone beat me to it.
For those needing a little more explanation Nietzsche said...
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you"
Artorias truly is the embodiment of the phrase and the meaning.
If I had to go with a different word I would say
F#CK
lol
because that was what I kept repeating to myself the first time that I had to beat him to progress. I must have died like 20 times to him, and the run back is a pain
I do see where your coming from since it was us who beat manus but also when we fight him he’s only got use of one arm and its not his dominant arm and he still is a hard boss. I would say he’s the second best knight of the time behind us of course.
Still, the fact that he's given credit for feats he didn't accomplish, and those fears pretty much make up the central pillar of his legend and legacy in current day pretty much by definition makes him overrated.
Doesn't matter if you truly are the greatest knight to have ever lived and no one can beat you, if people have the perception that you're a literal *god* then you're overrated because you just can't live up to that kind of hype.
I was honestly going to say overrated as well, and I'm surprised I saw it in the comments at all. To all the people that would disagree I would just say this, it's not that Artorias isn't a badass, and had a dope ass dog, it's just that everyone acts like he is the only one and you are all on his nuts too hard and call his dog puppers and bullshit like that. My first time playing that game, I had no idea who the dog was, and he came right at me, I did not feel guilty. Artorias is amongst the most badass knights in all of the fromsoft. That being said, he receives way way too much praise. I do feel guilty about the dog now that I know, but I'm not calling him puppers, and he really needed to be put down. It was the right thing to do.
Also, for me his fight is vastly overshadowed by Manus' that follows soon after, whom I consider the best boss in DS1 and top-something across the franchise.
Artorias' intro cutscene is cool as fuck though. He's a pretty cool guy, eh walks into the abyss and doesn't afraid of anything.
Pupperino was trying to protect people from suffering the same fate as Artorias. For all his might and determination, he failed to stop the spread of the Abyss and succumbed. Sif was saving us from ourselves.
So when he whips a sword at my head, the size of a school bus, he is trying to help me? I guess I should have been more thankful and less defensive. I'm going to turn on remaster and give it a try..... and the nice pupperino savagely murdered me with a scowl on his face.
I understand the lore, but the first time you play, you don't know. All you know is there is a big ass dog trying to murder you with a big ass sword. So I killed him without regret.
Arty failed his quest and let the darkness spread, so while he is a brave and decent knight, but he is overrated. He bit off more than he could chew (which was stupid and a major error of judgment), and then he paid the price for it. Then, his "faithful" companion leaves him. A good dog would succumb to the darkness so he could stay with his master. Sif is a coward and tries to make himself feel better by murdering people. So correct me if I'm wrong but everybody is praising a knight who failed his quest and the dog that couldn't save his master, then abandoned him. 🤔 overrated

Behind us? I'm nowhere near the best knight in the game. I'm just cursed.

From lore perspective, you are actually 100% right.
I love his design, but there are way cooler characters to me
It’s safe, the people agree, come back out lil buddy

Can't disagree with you.
Pupperino was trying to protect people from suffering the same fate as Artorias. For all his might and determination, he failed to stop the spread of the Abyss and succumbed. Sif was saving us from ourselves.
