You guys have any suggestions on the final two bosses of the DLC? Two left until I’ve conquered every boss in the Souls world solo.

Lots, but go bang your head against Manus a few times first. Otherwise what we tell you won’t make a lot of sense.

Though if you don’t have it already, you should look up how to find the hidden amulet half. I wouldn’t say it’s 100% necessary to beat Manus, but it’s about 95% necessary

Eta: One bit of upfront Manus advice: if he throws back his head and roars, he’s about to do a rage combo. As soon as you see him put his head back, get the frick away from him, further away than you would think. If you get caught by one of the first two hits, he’s likely going to juggle you, and you will almost certainly die.

His second phase adds dark magic attacks. That’s what the amulet is for. On that note, only have the amulet and estus in your hot bar. Make sure you know which is currently equipped at all times. It’s not fun getting smoked by dark magic while accidentally drinking estus.
