I mean fair fucks for not giving up my dude. Kalameet next?......

[@guusbaeten2195]

Don't give up skeleton!

A simple solution to some of the deaths here is I think you had too many items on your quick bar. It seems like you changed eventually but it's definitely something to consider in the future to have only exactly what you need to avoid any threat of wasting too much time cycling through items. I'd say if you have time outside the fog door always ask yourself "what do I want to use during this fight" and avoid anything else. Unless you become very good or know exactly the order of your items it's way too easy to make the mistake of cycling through too long and missing important timings.

Low vitality + light armor = easy boss becomes hard

[@Belowski69]

who uses armor anyway? xD

[@DonFabian420]

the bass cannon had a better damage output than the dragon tooth, why would u change it?

[@janjilecek]

the damage changed over the course of the attempts, I began with Zwei +10, changed to Lighting Zwei +3, then +5, then to Dragon Tooth +0 and I have a Dragon Tooth +5 at the end.

[@DonFabian420]

@@janjilecek I would recommend a zwei +15 or a +5 lighting and try to hit him with the rollin R1, he is kinda weak to thrust, maybe leo ring instead of red tearstone

[@nathanlandry8765]

Roll bruh

[@ethasataco]

Red tear stone is probably not the best tactic for fighting manus. Also your health pool and armor seem pretty low for this fight.

[@janjilecek]

yeah I went for the "glass cannon" tactic with me being only 62 soul level

[@j.aguilar5849]

nah, his armor fine if you wanna have actual fun and not hide yourself behind some shield forever

[@owenreece1754]

@@janjilecek 62 level are enough to easily kill Manus with tank build, and you are not a glass cannon, because your damage is small. But it's okay for a novice.
