How to unlock the Art of Abysswalking achievement in DARK SOULS: REMASTERED - Definitive Guide

This achievement is unlocked upon Defeating Sif, the great Grey Wolf in the Darkroot Garden.

You can get to this boss area by either buying the Crest of Artorias from Andre for 20k souls to open a locked door in the Darkroot garden OR by climbing up a ladder next to the large waterfall in the Darkroot Basin (near the Hydra). Either path will require you to traverse an area protected by several Forest Hunter covenant NPCs and then move through a stone structure where you can meet Alvina, an large feline that can invite you to join the Forest Hunter covenant. Beyond this structure is an open forest area that leads to the Sif encounter, which you trigger by entering an arena and approaching a large sword in front of a tombstone.

Sif is a giant wolf that wields an enormous sword in her mouth. She jumps around the area and swings the sword in large arcs. You want to try to stay underneath her where her sword attacks cannot hit you.

Upon defeating her you will receive the Covenant of Artorias (a ring that you must wear to engage the Four Kings in the Abyss) and the achievement will unlock.

To acquire the Art of Abysswalking, you need to defeat the Great Grey Wolf Sif, who is located in the Darkroot Garden. You can buy the Astoria seal from the Undead Parish blacksmith to unlock the large sealed door guarding the area. Alternatively, you can go around the back, and follow the shoreline that harbors the Hydra (Near the giants, and the Havel tower). Sif is located just past the Forest Hunter covenant.
It is a good idea to bring a shield to this fight; With enough endurance, all of Sif's sword attacks can be blocked. The generally accepted strategy for defeating Sif, is to stay under his stomach, and strike when you are safe from his sword attacks. Like most bosses, you just need learn the patterns, and the rest will come with practice.

During your journey to ring both bells you'll probably step into the forest area of the game, Darkroot Garden and its lower counter-part, Darkroot Basin. To acquire the 'Art of Abysswalking' means you'll have to acquire the ring called 'Covenant of Artorias' that allows you to reach another area of the game - the Abyss.

To get the ring you'll have to beat the boss Great Grey Wolf Sif that is located in the upper part of the forest, behind a sealed door. There are two ways to reach this boss, one is to buy the crest that opens this sealed door from the Blacksmith in Undead Parish (for 20.000 souls) which will allow you to pretty much run straight to the boss door. The other method is to take the long way around going all the way down to Darkroot Basin, defeating the 'mini'-boss Hydra that sits in the lake and then proceeding to take the ladder right next to it, reaching the locked area of the forest and the boss door, which you will still need the crest to open anyway.

Either way, along the way you'll probably face yet another boss, the Moonlight Butterfly.

Check the bosses section for more information on them.

To get the trophy, you need to kill the boss "Sif the Great Wolf" in the location: Dark Root Garden. The ring allows us to walk through the abyss, which will be needed to kill the boss: "Four Kings"
