does artorias have weakness to divine?

[sjeggy6]

shouldn't he? lore wise

[Инрико Пуччэ]

Nope, no "abyssal" enemies from the DLC take more damage from divine weapons.

Lorewise, nope as well (imo). It's the opposite. Gwynn and his kind fear the dark, it is their weakness.

Divine is strong against undead / skeletons and harpies. This suggests the divine and it's clerics are meant to keep the humans in check when they turn undead, as well as other opposition to the lords. Which is coming from their own kind, like a certain rogue goddess that's linked to crows.

Whenever the abyss turns up they completely lose it and use drastic methods (e.g. New Londo), since they just don't know how to fight it. This gets reinforced further in DS3 ,

-the Abyss Watchers, who carry Artorias legacy will bury a whole kingdom at the slightest sign of abbyssal taint. Yet in the end they get "infected" just as atorias was.
- the silver knights and black knights are weak against dark damage

I'd think that Artorias' sword is anti-abyss and since the abyss became part of the Four Kings it makes sense that destroying that part of them hurts them.

The answer is more simple I think: Froms forgot to implement this weakness at the DLC.

No, I think there's a difference - Artorias just lost an inner fight vs corruption leading to some kind of hollowness, it's diffrent with 4k, unlike them I think he cannot get into a state where divine magic does bonus damage (Artorias is still a bloody dog-slaver tho)

Hollowness is the fate of those people marked with dark sign which drains their dark souls fragments and reduces them to Hollows- that people were before the pygmy divided his soul among them. Artorias, on the other hand, is a being of light which was corrupted by the disturbed and cancer Dark. He is a dark being now, like Manus which should be way past the point of taking more damage from divine weapons. FROMs just didn't add this weakness, simple as they didn't make the Dark damage and defences until sequels.
