@Brainwasher5 The 'beasts' likely refer to the primordial serpants (i.e. Frampt, Kaathe, End-game serpants) who dwell in the abyss. Artorias was a notorias Darkwraith hunter. He made a convenant with the serpants to traverse the abyss and effectively slay them on their home field. But even that doesn't really add up, as the Abyss was created by Manus. (Gough states in-game "The abyss emenates from manus, himself") Manus is also called it's father in title. This means the abyss would not have existed until fall of Oolacile and Artorias needed covenant to battle Manus. Then why, I ask, did the serpants give Artorias abysswalking to kill manus and hunt darkwraiths while simultaneously being the ones who formed the darkwraiths and tempted Oolacile to awken Manus in the first place. I suspect, much like the player characters storyline, the serpants are meddling all-sides of the field. Artorias was given abysswalking by Frampt and his fellowing broods while Manus was awoken and abyss formed by Kaathe and his. Still doesnt make sense why they both serve the Dark Lord, end game. Fuq it..
