03 FromSoftwa­re’s games are littered with references to Berserk. Strong in both will and swordsmans­hip, Artorias The Abysswalke­r is a ferocious boss who gives you a taste of how difficult a time enemies who oppose Guts must have. Like Guts, Artorias lost his left arm, but that doesn’t stop him wielding his greatsword in one hand. Artorias and Guts also share a wolf motif, with Artorias having Sif as a companion and Guts’ Beast Of Darkness having a wolflike form, even influencin­g the helmet of the Berserker Armour.

 ?? ?? Unlike Guts, Artorias originally had a shield to go with his sword.
