Talk:Manus, Father of the Abyss/@comment-71.204.137.193-20130629085511/@comment-6003396-20130630044414

this isnt true because you can tell Oolacile is no where near the main game area because when you travel to Oolacile you see only Oolacile, no Sen fortress, Anor Londo, nothing so the Abyss isnt near it.When you come to the DLC area the first thing you notice is that Oolacile is no where near any other locations in the world.

Not so. It is possible to see the walls of Anor Londo towering high above Oolacile (check the gallery at the bottom). It is also clear that The Royal Wood is a past version of Darkroot. (which you continue to state below, so I am a bit confused as to why you are directly contradicting yourself).

''Dusk tells you that the Abyss reduced everything to ash so that means that after a certain time the Abyss goes away as shown by the fact that the Abyss had infested the Royal Woods but by the time the Undead Hero gets there in present time (DarkRoot Garden) there is no signs of the Abyss. This clearly states that there is another Source of the Abyss existing elsewhere to keep it from going away.''

Hmm. I don't think that you can extrapolate that the Abyss fades away in time from her dialogue. She only states that Oolacile was reduced to ash.

It is indeed possible to see signs of the Abyss in Royal wood, the "Chasm of the Abyss" as it were. But, it is possible that the chasm merely closed in time.

Although I find the prospect of the idea of an additional source of the Abyss interesting, the points above do not "clearly state" that there is indeed an additional source.

It could be explained that the Abyss was set in motion by Manus, and that the swallowing of Oolacile continues after his demise as a sort of natural order of things. Ending with the Chasm closing, leaving only blackness, the final form of the Abyss.
