Okay, so I managed to get past the Manotaur, but I seriously doubt it was a method the developers intended:
So, I started off with a Taunt about him being basically a man with the body of a cow and another one about his mother, which, even though I have Aggravation maxed and had the Tome of Disses equipped, shouldn't have been enough to Enrage him, but somehow I managed to get 2 crit successes in a row. So, of course, he charged at me, but I managed to get out my Stun Mittens just in time to stop him. Of course, I knew that wouldn't last long (the Stun Mittens' stun is pitifully short, their only saving feature is that they'll work on just about anything), so I quickly got to work laying down a Sticky Tarp, and the stun wore off just as I finished. So he came towards me, walking over the Sticky Tarp, and I had rather stupidly just put myself into a dead-end, with him blocking off the only path. I knew he'd get free of the Sticky Tarp eventually, so I decided to run, using the ClickBeetle to fly over his head. Just at that moment, I flashed pink, and chickens appeared from out of nowhere, swarmed around the Manotaur, and pecked him to death.
