In his right hand, he wields a large catalyst, which he can use to summon black magic and mash on the ground.
Manus has a monkey-shaped body covered in black fur, with numerous antlers and horns sprouting from his head, some of which have red glowing eyes. Manus' grave would become the Dark Chasm of Old, where the Darklurker resides. Sometime before the events in Dark Souls II, Manus' soul shattered, with several particles growing sentient and became separate lifeforms known as the Children of Dark, including Nashandra, Elana, Nadalia, and Alsanna. Many characters, such as the Four Kings and High Lord Wolnir, have fallen into the darkness it continues to casts. Manus drags the Chosen Undead down to the bottom to corrupt them just as he did to Artorias, but they manage to defeat him and put his undead humanity-draining body to rest.Īlthough Manus is long dead before the events of the Dark Souls trilogy, the Abyss he created remains as a threat in the world, still continuing to drive humanity from man.
#MANUS DARK SOULS PATCH#
Sure enough, Manus indeed resides at the deepest pit of the Abyss, near the patch of soil from which he was buried. In Oolacile, after defeating the Sanctuary Guardian and Knight Artorias, the Chosen Undead learns from the surviving residents and Hawkeye Gough about Manus lurking from below Oolacile in the pit of the Abyss. Interacting with it causes Manus’ hand to lunge at the Chosen Undead and drag them into the portal, teleporting them thousands of years in the past during the events of Oolacile. From the location where the Chosen Undead rescued Princess Dusk from the Golden Crystal Golem in the Darkroot Basin will a portal appear. Manus appears in the game after the Chosen Undead rescues Princess Dusk and obtains the Broken Pendant from the Crystal Golem at the entrance of the Duke's Archives. Even the mighty Knight Artorias, one of Lord Gwyn's four knights of Anor Londo, was no match for the Abyss' power and was corrupted by Manus' influences to protect his wolf companion Sif. Manus consumed the entire kingdom with the Abyss, causing the residents to bloat into hideous monsters, driving them to complete insanity. He captured Princess Dusk of Oolacile, forcing the kingdom to surrender to the sorcerer. This enraged Manus's undead soul, causing his humanity to go out of control, turning him into a monster and creating the Abyss. When he died, the people of Oolacile were convinced by a serpent (presumably Darkstalker Kaathe) into tampering with his grave and resurrected him. Manus was once a regular man in search of the broken pendant.
