Weapon behavior

See the item notes for verified weapon behavior.

Reinforcement and comparison

Deals physical and magical damage. Strength and Dexterity improve the physical part; Intelligence and Faith improve the magical part. All four requirements matter, so meeting only the physical requirements is insufficient.

Reinforce to +5 with Demon Titanite. This weapon has no elemental upgrade branches and cannot use pine resins or weapon-enchantment spells.

In-game description

Weapon type: Greatsword
Attack type: Regular/Thrust

Sword born from the soul of the great grey
wolf Sif, guardian of the grave of the
Abysswalker Knight Artorias.

Sir Artorias hunted the Darkwraiths, and his
sword strikes harder against dark servants.

Where to find

Boss-soul forging

Anor Londo

Requirements

  • Reach the main cathedral in Anor Londo.
  • Keep the Giant Blacksmith alive and friendly.
  • Retain Soul of Sif and a normal +10 Broken Straight Sword or Straight Sword Hilt.
  1. From the Darkroot Garden bonfire beside the sealed stone door, use the Crest of Artorias to enter the forest. The Crest is sold by Andre. The forest hunters beyond the door are hostile unless protected by their covenant.
  2. Continue through the forest, past the ruined building where Alvina sits, and cross toward the deeper wood. Follow the route beyond the mushroom clearing to the large arena door. Defeat Great Grey Wolf Sif and keep the Soul of Sif.
  3. Prepare the normal +10 weapon. Andre can make the +5 to +6 modification after receiving the Large Ember from the chest beside the first butcher in the Depths. Continue reinforcing to +10.
  4. In Anor Londo, enter the cathedral hall with the two large sentinels. Reach the upper walkway beside the Silver Knight archer, cross the connecting passage and go down the spiral stairs to the Giant Blacksmith.
  5. Open Modify Equipment and select Greatsword of Artorias. Check the result before confirming: the soul and the +10 weapon are both consumed. The forging fee is 5,000 Souls.

Notes

  • Requirements and weight: Requires 24 Strength, 18 Dexterity, 20 Intelligence, 20 Faith and weighs 10.0.
  • Choose the correct sword: Use a Broken Straight Sword or Straight Sword Hilt for this version. The cursed sword shares its displayed name but uses other compatible swords and has different requirements and damage.
  • Scaling and damage: Deals physical and magical damage. Strength and Dexterity improve the physical part; Intelligence and Faith improve the magical part. All four requirements matter, so meeting only the physical requirements is insufficient.
  • Divine effect: Its Divine effect can stop ordinary Catacombs skeletons from reviving after a killing blow. That effect does not make it a cursed weapon for hitting New Londo ghosts.
  • Soul choice: One Soul of Sif makes one item. The cursed sword and Greatshield of Artorias are separate recipes, so keep the soul until you have chosen.
  • Reinforcement and buffs: Reinforce to +5 with Demon Titanite. This weapon has no elemental upgrade branches and cannot use pine resins or weapon-enchantment spells.
