Defeating Margit the Fell Omen serves as a rite of passage for new players during their first Elden Ring playthrough. This video will attempt to be a comprehensive beginners guide for defeating Margit the Fell Omen.
Fire and Magic are your best friends against Margit. He’s weak to both so using one of these 2 magic types are a great option for dealing big damage against this boss. I personally recommend Catch Flame which you can get from Brother Corhyn in Roundtable Hold. I prefer this spell because it’s relatively quick and allows you to maintain a close distance to Margit which makes his moves a bit easier to dodge in my opinion.
If sorceries are better suited for your build and play style, you can purchase some glintstone spells from Sorceress Sellen who’s located at the Waypoint Ruins in the Weeping Peninsula. My only gripe is the casting time, you’ll need to make sure you maintain a good enough distance from Margit to make sure you recover from the casting animation in time to be able to react to any attack he may try to counter with
Using spirits and Summons are possibly the most beginner friendly options that you have. Using either the Lone Wolf Ashes that you get from Renna or the Spirit Jellyfish Ashes which you can get from Roderika in Stormhill Shack can allow you to deal passive damage if you’re able to distract Margit so they can attack - especially the Jellyfish Ashes. You can also summon Sorcerer Rogier if you want, he’s located right outside the fog gate leading to Margit.
My preferred approach for fighting Margit is to a blend of melee combat with close range pyro.
For the first phase I like to mainly use melee and Margit’s Shackle. At the opening I like to try and bait out that initial jumping attack that he’ll sometimes do, When he’s in the air, walk straight for a few steps, disengage the lock-on, and dodge roll underneath him before punishing his recovery with a few attacks. Don’t be shy about using his shackles since it’s only useful for the first 40% of his health bar but the 2 uses are perfect for melting his health by that much.
After his second phase starts, I switch to Catch Flame - and, essentially nothing changes for me, I dodge roll most of his attacks and act as if I’m still a melee fighter only I’m dealing significantly more damage to Margit than I would if I were just using my weapon. I find that if I fight Margit like this I don’t have to worry about trying to land parries, or be overly aggressive. I even found that I don’t need to heal as much because the fight is usually over quick.
If you can’t use Catch Flame, my next approach would be to use a weapon like the Uchigatana or Reduvia for bleed buildup along with a powerful weapon art - this will deal significant damage in it’s own rite. Especially a weapon art like unsheathe. I found that landing those hits deal comparable damage to catch flame.
Margit is a tough boss and for your first playthrough he can seem almost impossible to defeat. But there are many options and ways to approach this fight for all kinds of players and play styles. You don’t have to do everything in this video but hopefully if you found something useful to incorporate into your gameplay it’ll help you overcome this hurdle and open up the path to Stormveil Castle where we can continue this journey in another video.
