Great Grey Wolf Sif can help in this battle.
The Silver Pendant, although not required, can be of great help as it blocks his magic attacks if used with correct timing. Use the Silver Pendant to deflect them, as they are difficult to dodge. Manus will start using his magic attacks at around 50% health.
Only attack Manus after he finishes his jumping smash or frenzy combo, lest you be caught in the middle of his strikes. If the player wishes to face Manus conventionally, it is advisable to equip Stamina-boosting items that such as the Cloranthy Ring, as well as a high- Stability shield that blocks physical damage.

Manus was once human and became the Father of the Abyss after his humanity went wild, eternally seeking his precious Broken Pendant. He is the cause of the Abyss, which threatened to swallow all of Oolacile. The people of Oolacile were fooled by a serpent - presumably Kaathe - to excavate Manus's grave, which incited his wrath. He is discovered to have kidnapped Princess Dusk and is eventually confronted in the Chasm of the Abyss. Once the Chosen Undead has the Broken Pendant in their possession, Manus pulls them through a magical rift from Darkroot Basin into the past land of Oolacile. Sif's summon sign is found in the arena where the player fights Manus, inside the fog door. It is possible to summon the past version of Great Gray Wolf Sif to aid in the battle.
