Great Grey Wolf Sif

Chasm of the Abyss

Rescue

Requirements: Reach the lower chasm in the additional-content areas.

What to do: Follow the spectral cat toward an illusory wall. Reveal it and defeat the Humanity Phantoms around the protected young wolf.

Result: Sif leaves the Cleansing Greatshield and becomes available as a Manus summon.

Consequences and cutoffs: Rescuing young Sif does not remove the later Darkroot boss fight.

Chasm of the Abyss

Summon

Requirements: Rescue young Sif and leave Manus alive.

What to do: Look inside Manus' arena for the summon sign on the lighter stone floor within the pillars.

Result: Young Sif can assist during the Manus fight.

Consequences and cutoffs: This is an in-arena NPC summon. Do not apply the ordinary outside-fog human-form rule to it automatically.

Darkroot Garden

Recognition

Requirements: Rescue young Sif before first triggering the Darkroot Sif encounter.

What to do: Return to the grave and approach the greatsword to begin the encounter.

Result: The introductory scene acknowledges the earlier rescue.

Consequences and cutoffs: Starting the Darkroot encounter first loses the alternate introduction this journey; the boss rewards are unchanged.

Soul of Sif

Darkroot Garden

1. Reach the forest beyond the Crest of Artorias door near the hidden bonfire, or climb the long ladder from Darkroot Basin's Hydra lake.
2. Continue through the woods beyond Alvina's ruins and cross the bridge toward the enormous stone gate. Enter the clearing and approach the greatsword at Artorias's grave.
3. Defeat Great Grey Wolf Sif. The soul is awarded along with Covenant of Artorias; the ring has its own progression use.

Covenant Of Artorias

Darkroot Garden, Sif arena

1. From Andre beneath the Undead Parish bonfire, pass the Titanite Demon and follow Darkroot Garden to the magically sealed stone door. Open it with the Crest of Artorias bought from Andre, or reach the far side by the ladder from the Hydra lake in Darkroot Basin.
2. Continue past Alvina's ruins, cross the bridge toward the giant stone gate and enter the clearing with Artorias's grave.
3. Approach the greatsword at the grave to begin the boss fight. Defeat Great Grey Wolf Sif to receive the ring.
