Great Grey Wolf Sif

greatgreywolfsif-ds1.jpgGreat Grey Wolf Sif (灰色の大狼シフ) is a Boss encountered in Darkroot Basin.

Description

Great Grey Wolf Sif is the wolf companion of Sir Artorias, the Abysswalker. After Artorias passed away, Sif became the guardian of Artorias' grave in the Darkroot Garden. Sif wields Artorias' Greatsword and uses some of his moves in combat.

A younger Sif appears in the additional content. Sif accompanied Artorias on his quest to save Oolacile from the spread of the Abyss. But Artorias and Sif are eventually overrun by Humanity Phantoms, so the former leaves his shield to erect a barrier around Sif.

Location


Darkroot Garden
After the second stone bridge, Sif serves as the area's boss. Opening the stone gate does not trigger the boss fight, as you need to approach to the Greatsword at the tombstone to trigger the fight.

Chasm of the Abyss
To find Sif, you must follow an illusion of Alvina, until the illusion is standing next to a wall. Attack the illusory wall, and you find Sif inside a protective barrier, surrounded by Humanity Phantoms. Defeat them, and Sif disappears to leave behind the Cleansing Greatshield. After saving Sif, their soul sign can be found in Manus' boss arena on the lighter grey stone floor within the circle of pillars, about five steps left from your starting position after the cutscene.

Dodging and Blocking


When Sif jumps away it is a good chance to heal up, but be ready to block or dodge the next attack as soon as you finish.

Melee


As soon as you are able, get underneath the body and hack away at Sif's legs. If/when Sif backs up, make sure you stay under them, eventually Sif will jump away and re-engage you. Repeat as necessary. You can watch a video here
