I've been trying to have a go at Maneater all by my lonesome and dying 13 times in a row is a little perturbing. I'm a melee fighter and only SL 32. Anyone game for some exorcising on those two? 
 
I'll be at the Fool Idol's archstone at 7pm CST.

Isn't this the one where you can get yourself a bow and shoot him through the portal?

Roll more

Raise your soul level a little bit and get a bow, then you can kill the first one through the door and just keep hiding behind the brazier for the second one and attack after one of his power attacks.

Thanks for the tips, guys. I eventually went back and learned Soul Ray. That made it quite a bit easier.
