In-Game Description
This crest opens a door in the Darkroot Garden sealed by ancient magic.

Trivia

 * The in-game description of the Crest of Artorias gives some hints about what lies behind the magical door in Darkroot Garden. The local bandits refer to the Forest Hunter Covenant members that attack the player when they go through the magical door. The uninitiated refers to people who are not part of the Forest Hunter covenant because if the player joins the covenant, the bandits will not attack anymore.
