My point is that suggesting that Artorias wasn't known as the Abysswalker before Oolacile is illogical, because that would suggest that the Covenant of Artorias manifested itself AFTER he was killed.

Also, it wouldn't make sense for the Covenant to be established in Oolacile, as it would've been completely unnecessary. The Covenant was only necessary to traverse the Abyss beneath New Londo. The Chasm of the Abyss still had enough structure of the original location to pass through without the need of the Covenant, as both the Chosen Undead and Sif are capable of traveling through it without using it.

The only logical explanation is that Artorias had become the Abysswalker BEFORE Oolacile, since he was famous for hunting Darkwraiths which did not exist in Oolacile.
