  • I know I could make a joke about the "prepare to cry" series, but i can't lie. Hearing about the connection you and Sif would have if you fought Manus with him, and killed Artorias before going to his boss fight, literally made me tear up. Sif wanting to protect you, a hero, who ended his old master's suffering, and helped him stop the spread of the abyss. The fact that he howls in grief, knowing full well that he will have to kill you, or fail, leaving you to potentially succumb to the abyss, is just heartbreaking.

Also why he was so interested in crystal magics, so he could make artificial scales out of crystals to become immortal or at the least extend his life.
