Demon's Souls

[Nyerp]

none of my attacks stunned it tho

[Snowy]

anti-magic field is great but it also disables your magic

[Nyerp]

holy shit the maneaters :'(

[TooB]

Did they eat your man?

[Nyerp]

i fell off the edge lmao

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yeah, the real boss of that fight is the endless abyss beneath that narrow and unguarded bridge

what a horrible place for a boss lol

use the brazier in the center to your advantage, try to always keep the maneater(s) on the other side, only attack when there's an opening and keep off the rest of the bridge if you can

also, know that if you manage to cut off their tails they can no longer use magic attacks

[Nyerp]

thanks for the tips. ill definitely try the tail thing

[Samus Aran]

none of my attacks stunned it tho

oh. idk then, i guess i just whacked at it and it died before it could counterattack then or smth, i don't even remember

[Kalahari Inkantation]

flame weapons are especially effective against mindflayers, they flail wildly for a few seconds after being hit leaving them completely open to subsequent attacks

i would always take my trusty flame long sword with me to world 3, they simply can't retaliate after the one hit it takes to trap them in a fatal stun lock

[Nyerp]

yeah that sword makes those guys trivial lmao

ALSO I BEAT THE MANEATERS!!!! [glow=black,2,300]with the help of 16 half moon grasses[/glow]

beating them got me pure white world tendency. thank god for the wiki or else i'd never know how to take advantage of it!!!

[silvertone]

i wanna live in a white world...

[Thyme]

well at least you didn't use the lame thymemethod of shooting the first maneater through the fog door

[Kalahari Inkantation]

that was also my method in my first playthrough

Remember to kill yourself to maintain that tendency!

though i think once you've activated the tendency event in world 3 it remains permanently unlocked even if your tendency should fall

[Nyerp]

my "method" was being lucky enough that the second maneater completely forgot about me when i ran to the brazier and i was able to finish off the first one before fighting it i think the thief's ring caused it

[Samus Aran]

yeah if one gets far enough away while you have the thief's ring on, it can de-aggro. there's a couple bosses throughout the souls franchise who can do that because of the sheer size of their boss rooms.

the last time i fought them, i actually just fought the first maneater right next to the entry fog door and just kinda strafed around it in circles and whacked at it, i've never had much of a strategy for them aside from making sure to cut their tails off and finishing off the first one as quickly as possible
