Where Do You Go After Killing Sif?
Once you’ve defeated the Grey Wolf Sif in the Dark Souls Remastered version, you’re left with a crucial decision: what’s next? In this article, we’ll walk you through the various possibilities and provide you with crucial information to help you determine your next move.
What Happens After Beating Sif?
After defeating Sif, you’ll find yourself on a cliff overlooking the sea. You’ll notice two paths ahead of you – one leading to the northeast and the other to the northwest. Both paths share a common goal: progression through the game. Choosing the right path will bring you closer to the Undead Asylum, Darkroot Garden, and more.
Path to Darkroot Garden
The more direct path to Darkroot Garden lies to the southeast. You’ll need to follow the cliffside before coming down towards a smaller lighthouse. From there, you’ll enter the abandoned ruins of the lighthouse, where you’ll stumble upon a hidden door in the wall. This route will take you through:
• The Lighthouse: A short, cryptic area filled with subtle hints and clues.
• The Ruins Entrance: A hidden door into the Darkroot Garden that hides powerful npcs like Scorpion Men and Giant Soldiers.
Path to Forest of the Giants
Venturing northwest will lead you toward a unique aspect: giant enemies and a new enemy type – the Giant Guard Captain (noteable difference form regular guard). This alternative path will take you to:
• The Waterfall: A scenic walkway with a waterfall surrounding you.
• Giants’ Forest: Giant enemies roam this area and the Giant Guard Captain oversees the forest.
Golden Golem Clump Formation, a Hidden Path
One of the most significant hints in the game lies around the Golden Golem; a hidden path can help you bypass the Undead Asylum and Darkroot Garden. To find these paths:
• Hidden Path: Follow the Gold Golem’s path southward, and you will find a hidden doorway leading to the Undead Asylum.
• Bypassing Undead Asylum: By ignoring the Undead Asylum, you can skip significant content and proceed directly through the Darkroot Garden by taking the hidden path northwest.
What to Conclude
After killing Grey Wolf Sif, make sure to choose the option that best suits your next move. If you explore the Darkroot Garden further, you’ll encounter key enemies, npcs like Scorpion Men, giant soldiers, and the most significant enemy, the Champion Gundyr. The most direct path to Darkroot Garden is the most essential, but the hidden secret path can be a challenging and rewarding experience.
From here, you can gain more insight into the full Dark Souls experience, complete with its intricate lore.
