Talk:Chasm of the Abyss/@comment-4511886-20130401172604/@comment-114.124.35.97-20140911233742

I've heard a theory that Manus was actually a "victim" of the abyss.

Judging from the description of the broken pendant, and Princess Dusk's dialogue, Manus wasn't an emotionless cold-blooded animal. Perhaps the abyss drove Manus' humanity wild like what it did to the citizens if Oolacile. And why the abyss still persisted in New Londo.

I seriously doubt the credibility of Gough's information. I don't think he has ever seen Manus before, and that "the abyss emanates from Manus himself" might just be something Gwyn made up to keep his knights pushing into the abyss and try to stop it, somehow.

How Gough knew Artorias was slain when you killed him ? Maybe he heard Artorias' death scream from where he was locked away. Or he was simply capable of psychic powers....
