manus father of the abyss is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken

[Rage Panda]

what the ♥♥♥♥ is wrong with it's hitboxes and timings, no matter how i block or dodge half his attacks land, even after my dodge. i'll roll one of his slaps then i get up and the damage goes off, it's an absolute garbage piece of ♥♥♥♥ boss that it's gonna just take a huge amount of luck to beat i'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sick of dodge dodge dodge fine then one random slap just one shots me that didn't go ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ close to hitting me.

It's dumb to say something in a game is broken, just because you can't manage it.
Manus is extremely easy to dodge, the only thing thats not easy to dodge without the silver pendant is the humanity circle.
You don't block, thats for casuals, you dodge in the right moment and attack in the right moment, that's how you git gud.

i do dodge in the right moment then mid air while rolling still get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ on by damage. that's my point. it's literally broken.

You obviously didn't dodge at the right time though.

Sounds like you're mad and blaming the boss for your own failures to me. Here's a tip: unload a few thousand pounds of salt and try again when you can actually think straight.

[Apathy]

Sounds like you've got a case of the mad because bad. You could try the opposite of what you're doing. I'm sure you've noticed that Manus really loves the move where he slaps the ground and leaves his hand there for a long time. It's almost like you're meant to be outside of the range of that (or within one roll of it) so you can avoid the damage and attack his hand.

Sounds like you're mid or fatrolling and have discovered why those are really bad in Dark Souls. You have less I-frames the worse you roll so you should have learned to optimize your build by this point in the game. The absolute earliest you can access the DLC is mid-game and most people don't access it until right before they go take on Gwyn. You've had ample time to adjust strategies and learn to think on the fly. Nothing about Manus is hard other than how aggressive he is. Only Artorias is as aggressive of a boss as he is. But they both have patterns and tells.

If you're mad about phase 1 you're going to have a stroke over his Dark Magic in Phase 2. Even if you got the Pendant it's bugged so have fun kid.

A shield? Are you blocking his attacks? Why? If that shield isn't a Grass Crest Shield why even wear one in that fight?

[Apathy]

If you're going to use a shield against a giant enemy it better be a Grass Crest shield on your back or a greatshield.

[paladin181]

Can you still kill manus at range before entering the boss arena in this version too? If so then.... WHY HAVEN'T THESE BROKEN THINGS BEEN FIXED?!

[𝓡𝓮𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓒𝓪𝓽]

Here's what works for me: Stay locked off the entire fight. Jog around the arena's edge in a circle, when you see him about to do the slam attack with his giant gorilla arm, roll away once and it'll miss you by a hair. You'll have time to do a running attack into his giant masturbation hand.

Keep jogging around the arena and when he's about to hit you with the longer slam attack, you'll notice he winds his arm up first. Simply roll out of the way twice to avoid this. Like before, do a running attack into his giant hand.

Keep doing this until he's finally down to around half his health. Now he'll start spamming you with dark sorceries. 2/3 of them can easily be dodged without the Silver Pendant (the dark rain attack and the dark beads he shoots out in front of him). As soon as he casts the Pursuers in a circle around the arena activate the Silver Pendant, they should all be deflected. Follow what I said in the first and second paragraphs, profit. This has never failed me, and you don't need a shield with this method.

Don’t listen to these kids just cheese him and come back some other time he isn’t worth the time fight him when you’re done doing everything else

THIS THREAD IS 6 YEARS OLD. BEGONE NECROMANCER!

Get bow.
Get Hawk Ring.
Go to the boss fog gate and look into the hole. See those tiny red things? They are Manus beady eyes.
Snipe him for the next 20 minutes with tiny chip damage.
I don't remember if he is affected by poison, so try poison arrows for extra chip damage.
You don't need to fight everything, get creative, other options exist for most bosses.

i literally have 20% weight load, you realise you are just a boring dried up clone of every other toxic ♥♥♥♥ in the dark souls community? you think you are witty and smart by repeating the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ insults while you drbble mountain dew and your neck fat jiggles with every self involved chuckle at how smart and original you are.
you are actual boring toxic trash, i can hear the fedora tipping while reading your comments seriously.

This is very funny and poetic, but it also means you sunk to your "ad hominem slinging" opponent's level. You aren't much better yourself, now that you alienated different types of people that fit your "neck bearded incel" description(of which I only have a full beard and Derbys are the best ol' hat, imo).

- The greatshield of Artorias is capable of tanking Manus' entire punching combo, then you "spell" him or you have enough stamina for a single attack(hopefully).
- Have the silver pendant ready unless you need to heal.
- Sif can help by being a meat-shield, but summoning her doesn't give you extra damage, only the opportunity to heal more often.
- Only try rolling through attacks once you undrestand how invincibility frames work. It can be hard to know both when you are in I-frames and how much collision time is required to be immune to damage. Rolling into something coming at you means less time spent with your hitbox in the enemies collision area so you have enough invincibility.

The only part of "git gud" you should already know: the more you die, the more you learn how not to and the less likely you are to die by the same thing...but even speedrunners still die.

WOW Imagine bumping a thread from 2018, just imagine.... *deep breath followed by long, slow, exhale*

Did OP ever git gud or at least lrn2chz?
