Stay close to the wolf! The danger lies in the lengthy attack range, but by sitting under Sif, she will miss completely. Only the immediate area in front of Sif's greatsword will begin the cutscene, so it is safe to simply walk around the gravestone, grab the ring, and leave.
The Hornet Ring can be obtained without triggering the initial boss encounter. Sif can be summoned to help with Manus if you locate and free her from the magic barrier provided by the Cleansing Greatshield situated behind an illusionary wall. The special cutscene appears even without summoning Sif. 
The cinematic is noticeably longer than normal.
Her expression will change, she will howl at the moon, and reluctantly pick up her greatsword. Sif will approach menacingly, knock the player down, and then recognize the player's scent.
Confirmed (at least for freed and summoned). Opening cut-scene is slightly different if you had freed Sif in the Chasm of the Abyss before approaching her at the end of Darkroot Garden. Sif's final attack is a charged one, which she rarely uses but is still noteworthy. She can also do this attack when you are facing her head to head, so watch out for it then, as well. She swings her sword while she does this, but you will rarely get caught in it. The attack can be dodged by well-timed rolling in the direction the sword is coming from.Īs all these attacks can be essentially avoided by sticking under her body and legs, Sif recognizes this from time-to-time and backflips away to a create some distance again. Sif gets on her back paws momentarily, and swings her sword into the ground, dealing high damage in the process. If you try to block this, it will most likely stagger you, so stick to rolling. This attack knocks you down, and hurts as well. When the player sees this, they should try to either get as far back as possible, or under her. It has a quite slow wind up and has a very telling animation, as she moves her sword to the opposite direction, then takes a big swing. Sif will swing her sword in a full circle, sometimes twice in a single attack. This is the main attack she uses throughout the fight. This attack is easily telegraphed, and countered by rolling out of the way, but if caught in it, can knock you down. Sif swings her sword, usually followed up by a second in the other direction.
