Bestest boy in the DS trilogy…

How do i get this cutscene?

This is the hardest boss fight, because of the blurry vision that those tears bring.

😢😢😢😭😭😭

Girls: "he didn't even cry during Titanic, do men have feelings?" *Men during this scene* (bawling)

Sif needs to ditch the sword. Just fight with your bare paws and your sharp teeth. The sword is more of a liability since you have to wield it awkwardly with your jaws!

This is why Dark Souls was widely considered the hardest game

This doesn’t make so much sense. I mean, the wolf doesn’t want to fight. Still fights

fact, the name "sif" it means in arabic "sword"

Omg, good thing I didn't do the DLC first or I probably would never be able to progress past this point

my eyes are sweating

The fact you can hear his whines T_T

all that for us to kill four kings

When the wolf is only a few health it starts limping i lose control of my emotions it just burst out did i study to say"stop please there is another way to save this port creature from his torment"bad effects of other way i guess we have to release herself from the target of losing someone close to her heart

You don't the only one i can't stop crying i cannot even 0:45 i cannot even want to play this game 0:50 0:33

"Victory Achieved" my ass. There was no victory here

The fact your character reaches out to try and pet her while she's clearly conflicted is much more sad, and when she slowly grabs the sword ready to fight you only makes it worse, amazing story telling without a word of dialog.

i cry evry time

Who left this bowl of onions here?

At first when Sif notices you, it's the usual response from a loyal companion; to defend it's master and the territory that belongs to them. But upon closer inspection Sif realizes that you carry the familiar scent of the one who saved her & ended the suffering of her master after his fall to the abyss. There is a moment of lamentation, and I suspect it's a combination of remembering those times & the sacrifice that Artorias made to save her (when he abandoned his defenses in order to protect Sif & went alone to face Manus). At that point Sif turns back toward the grave & takes the greatsword from the ground, and prepares to fight. Originally I could only have assumed this was for desecrating the grave of her master, but the more I think about it... I believe Sif was expressing her lifelong grief of being unable to protect her Master when it mattered most. She couldn't come to terms with losing Artorias in such a way, and refuses to let it happen to someone so important yet again; this creates the ultimatum. Either you fall to Sif in battle, and Sif's decision to fight is justified in order to save you from yourself... Or you defeat Sif, proving to her you are ready to face the danger in her & Artorias's stead yet again, and she can finally join him in rest. 😭

Why does he have to fight you?

I hoped that letting Sif limp for a few minutes would unlock a secret cut scene where we can spare his life and let him go away... but is not so🥺😭💔

I enjoyed killing him.

Tears...

I like to think Sif knows you can take on the Abyss, you did it before. The reason why they defend the ring from you is not to protect you from the abyss , but to stall your fate as the chosen undead . Maybe to Sif, they know the gods will just send an expendable champion to do their dirty work, not caring if they live or die like Artorias .

I love it how before the dlc it implies that Sif was simply guarding it’s master’s grave for the sake of the world, while after the dlc it implies that Sif fights you specifically because it doesn’t want to see you be consumed by the Abyss.

No cutscene in any game has ever made me almost cry before until i saw this cutscene for the first time

NOT THE LIMP. DON'T HIT ME IN THE HEART, YOU JERK!

Sif is a tragic boss. The best way to do this fight is to end it quickly as to not let poor Sif suffer. To continue your quest and to reunite Sif with Artorias

Everyone's talking about Sif's eyes. But her yelping is what got me the most. Like she was very happy to see us even under such circumstances.

This make me cry irl every time...i got Artorias and Sif tattooed on my entire left arm now...their story hit me so hard.

All the implications behind this alternative opening make it that much more heartbreaking. I saw a comment once that I 1000% agree with. Killing Sif is not an achievement, it is a mandatory evil forced upon us.

fun fact, just like artorias, sif's left leg is also the one that gets hurt, like artorias' left arm that was broken

Sif :(

Sif looked so reluctant to pick up the sword...

Most of the dark souls bosses are tragic, and this one is exceptionally sad. I think it's tied with Ceaseless Discharge, since he is just trying to get his dead sister's gold hemmed set back from you, and if you cheese the fight where he is clinging to the wall with one arm trying to catch you before you get away there is a certain tangible desperation as he loses his grip and falls into the lava. I haven't used that method since and always fight him up by his sister's shrine.

Pain….

Hey would it be alright for me to borrow this cutscene for a video I'm working on? I just played the whole game for this only to realize my recording settings were messed up and the brightness is completely wrong

Sif isn't even trying to kill us. He knows he can't kill us. He's just trying to keep us away from the Abyss. To prevent us from suffering his master's fate.

the alternate scene and boss fight in general breaks my heart every time

I love dogs so much

When from soft wants to hit you with the emotional damage instead

"hmmm yes, today i will deliberately hurt myself emotionally" *clicks this video*

i have a strict i will not fight a boss for you rule but my friend came up to me and said he needed me to fight him. i asked if he did the dlc , when he nodded. i knew i would break my vow

For those wondering how to get this cutscene you have to beat manus with sif summoned in the artorias the abyss walker dlc

My character was burned alive, chopped with a huge axe, crushed with a demon's ass, turned into ashes, thrown off a cliff and killed dozens of times. But nothing, nothing compares to the emotional damage of killing Sif. On my first playthrough, I was ready to suffer, but not ready to cry. The second, third and fourth playthrough, to be honest, it was also painful. AND THEN I read the lore and found out that Sif was trying to save me from what happened to Artorias. And here comes the real pain. Great game. Too bad there's no way to beat the game without killing Sif.

The motif that plays when Sif realizes who you are, holy shit. This game was amazing

Humanity? There is no humanity in here, Chosen Undead.

sadness ahead, therefor try weeping

My brother called this the most uncharacteristically soft moment in Dark Souls
