Masked Manikin Strategy Tips in Dark Souls 2
- Don't bother with bleed resist, since they do so much Bleed damage that no amount of Bleed resist will actually stop you from bleeding out.
- Deadly at close range, try to take them out from mid to long range if possible, as they will likely kill you in mere seconds if in melee range/
- They are immune to poison and highly resistant to bleed.

AnonymousWorst enemy in the game. Just way too fast, and way too much damage, along with bleeding, ambushes, and mobs. Worse than Twin Dragonriders and Mirror Knight combined.

I have died more times to them than all my deaths combined up to the first time you encounter them. That's how you know it's a bad enemy

This enemy was designed by somebody with hatred in their heart

I've logged hundreds of hours on DS2 and had a lot of fun with it overall, but when I haven't played it in a while, my lingering impression is of getting bled, poisoned and stunlocked to death by twitchy little bastards, and that's why it's my least favorite Dark Souls. DS1 had the Lower Undead Burg but it wasn't half the freaking game.

Arguably most retarded enemies in the game if you are wearing low poise armor. They just 100% to 0% you with dash combo if you let them land a first hit.

Someone on the design team hated the new version of the mask so much compared to the version featured in the trailer, that they made an enemy called “masked manikins” all headless rather than use the compromised version.
These things are incredibly deadly in NG+ for me…died over and over

Wombo combo + bleed + stunlock gods powers, creates this un holy enemy.

why did the designers think that getting swarmed by them would be fun

Even though they are headless they can still be headshot funnily enough.

At least they are pretty accurate depiction of assasins countering squishy casters.

God I hate the annoying ****ers so much. I swear I've died more to manikins than blue smelter and lud/zallen combined. Whoever designed them needs to be thrown alive into a poison volcano.

Originally, they wore masks similar to Hei mask from Darker than Black, but was removed before the game initial release

These guys looked so much cooler in the trailer. Kinda lackluster in the game, headless dudes that appear in a full one area.

piece of***** enemies ***** these *****ing trash***** ass enemies
One of them dropped the manikin Mask for some reason, really freaked me out because I thought my game was bugging and they were supposed to have heads after all
Okay, im going to fill in a lot of information here, Firstly they do not attack with fist, this is a template that's been left over. they also appear in Dragnleic castle in softs and are far powerful (if they arent bad enough) than the earthern peak ones.

I got attacked by a Manikin, it was somekind of parry, where I couldn't do anything, the Manikin slipped past me and slit my throat.
Anyone else had this happen? It was the one that jumps down up the stairs right next to the second bonfire.

Why His weapons has no 5 Insta-hits combo or those jumping attack when the player uses them? Like the ghost blades in dark souls 1 with that multi-stab combo, i wish that dark souls 2 weapons weren't the same but in diferent skin cuz manikin weapons are the coolest looking but the same in moveset as any other of the same class
F*ck these pieces of sh*t
