CAGiversary!
Thanks, I've actually done this fight a million times before but kept having trouble last night with getting knocked off the platform. The Wiki has a strategy where you run past the first Maneater and wait on the other side of the map to fight the second one one on one. I'm gonna do that.Fire magic / dragon weapon / turpentine (they are very weak to fire) and stay close to the cauldron in the middle of the walkway. If you keep it between them and you, their projectile attacks can't penetrate it and they can't use their pounce attack to knock you back off the platform. Swing around long enough to get in a few hits, then circle back around to regen stamina.
Its your choice whether you want to cut off their tail or not. If they get bitten by the snake tail they will be temporarily immobilized, letting you do free hits, but if you don't hit them quick enough then the venom will buff them with extra damage for 30 seconds.
