I really didn’t get greedy.

You won’t believe this but I was close again and my power went out for a second and restarted everything

I have one for my server and router but not gaming PC or laptop. Should really get one for my desktop.

On the one hand, it’s so I don’t get interrupted before I can save and shut down. But if I’m being honestly, it’s because for my first build I was terrified of bricking my motherboard during a bios update

I think Capra is really the only DkS1 boss in which the arena feels unfair to the player.

Oh, and Centipede. frick that arena

I seem to lose power half the time it storms and I had a drive in my router get fried. That was the last straw for me. Works pretty amazing though. I've got mine hooked in to my server and it shuts down the server and router after 5 minutes with no power.

If it's not fun, and you're getting overly frustrated, take a break.

Turn the game off and talk it out with us. What’s happening? Are you running out of estus? Are you getting juggled? Are you getting one shot by something? Are you not keeping your health topped off?

In short, is there any pattern of commonality between your deaths?

It's like clockwork for me in Souls games against really tough bosses. More often than not, I'll do really well in the first attempt but ultimately die. I'm usually more patient and don't get too aggressive. The more attempts I make, the worse I do. I can spend 3 hours trying to beat the really tough bosses and not come as close as I did on the first attempt. I'll turn the game off and not touch it again for 24 hours, come back, and then usually beat that boss within 3-5 attempts at most.

Also, watch some YouTube videos of the fight. It helps to see how other people do it and adapt their strategies. Sometimes you can just pick up a move or two and it makes the difference.

Not running out of estis, just need to take a break. I had the +14 claymore the times I was 1-2 hits away but am doing worse with the +15. I can’t get back into the groove

So not running out of estus. Any move in particular of his causing your deaths?

He only has a couple of safe windows. Learn to read them.

I’m just not finding that good window to let him strike down then follow up with one hit. I either am too close and get hit or too far and can’t hit him. Rolling left has helped somewhat but then I get destroyed if i miss the timing

You’re just not seeing it. They are there. Do a dodge only suicide run. I know it sounds like a waste of time, but I promise it’s not.

Artorias down...don't worry, we gave his soul away.

Eta: the mushroom is safe as well

I can't wait to head down the Abyss. Manus is one of my favorite fights in the series.
