How do you beat Sif easily?

You will want to be as agile as possible, or you will definitely be taken out by Sif. Some of Sif's attacks are easy to block, so run in with a 100% Physical Shield like the Heater Shield and try to stay underneath Sif's legs, as it's the place that you will stay safe and he can't attack you as much with his attacks.

Can you summon Sif after killing him?

Yes. If so, does it not work if you beat Sif already? (this is the past...)? What you do in the present is irrelevant to summoning Sif in the Manus fight. In order to summon him you must save him from the wild humanity in the Chasm of the Abyss.

Can you spare Sif?

But no, you must kill Sif. Even if he starts limping he will still continue to menace you until his dying breath, and you absolutely need the Abysswalker's ring, and since you can't reason with a wolf there's nothing to do but overcome the guardian and plunder his loots.

Should I summon Sif for Manus?

Whilst Sif's attacks are not very damaging, the extra summon can keep Manus distracted and give the player time to heal.
