Five-Year-Old & Father Play Dark Souls (2p1c) — Part 16 (Great Grey Wolf Sif)
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 2020-06-14

We had previously gone after Sif in part 10, but now we're much, MUCH stronger. We go from a +3 divine broadsword to a +15 zweihänder for offense, stone armor to the giant set in defense, and the Mask of the Father for mobility and more roll invincibility frames. We essentially only lose to the dreaded 360 spin-it-to-win-it swing, and even then possibly only if I receive counter damage from an early roll or a guard break.

To clarify something that came up, Sif's sex is never actually stated in-game. However, the name is a female one, and Sif was the wife of Thor in Norse mythology. In addition, Sif is a giant animal under whom we stand for much of the fight, so I'd think that we'd see some evidence if she were male. To that point, the cutscene doesn't even give a patch of fur dropping down back there. However, in French, the full name for the boss fight is "Sif Le Grand Loup Gris", not "Sif La Grande Louve Grise", though localizations may or may not be canon, since one in the German translation of Bloodbourne regarding Rom contradicts the game's creator's view.

Also, stay around for the sketch during our intermission. Mario is a pasta addict, it seems, and she tries to… "help" him with that?
