The Margit fight requires patience, careful dodging, and short bursts of attacks between his moves before you retreat and start again. This isn’t a fight you can win with only a defensive strategy, but unless you’re skilled at parrying, you also can’t rush in and unleash multiple attacks at once. Your opportunities for attack are brief, and they stay that way.

How to beat Margit in Elden RingĪs with any Souls or Bloodborne boss, you’ll need to learn Margit’s attack patterns and understand both when to move and when it’s safe to attack. You can always come back later to try again. If you get frustrated or just want to move ahead, there’s no harm in taking the secret route. Elden Ring lets you skip Stormveil Castle entirely, including the fight against Margit, and move on to Liurnia of the Lakes.

Still, it’s handy for opening a window of opportunity to attack that you wouldn’t get otherwise.įinally, know that you don’t have to fight Margit.

Just make sure to take a swig before stepping through the fog barrier to begin the fight This special flask lets you mix items to create draughts that boost certain parameters, such as increasing the damage of your strong attacks or giving you more endurance. Make sure to grab the Flask of Wondrous Physik from the Third Church of Marika (north of the Waypoint Ruins) as well. Having someone to tank while you deal damage will let you keep far more flask uses for the fight's second phase. He doesn’t do much, but he occupies Margit’s attention. Make sure to summon Sorcerer Rogier outside the fog barrier as well. Jellyfish, which you obtain by speaking to Roderika at Stormhill Shack several times, and Wolf Pack, the default summon, are the best choices for this fight. Spirit Summons, while not essential, are a helpful tool if only to keep Margit distracted while you close in for an attack. Ideally, your dominant weapon should be +3 or higher before challenging Margit, so plan on plundering some Smithing Stones from the Limgrave Tunnels and visiting the blacksmith. You’ll want to level up your primary stats-the ones corresponding with your weapon or magic of choice-and work on enhancing your weapon several times.
