Who is Margit?
Before learning how to defeat Margit in Elden Ring, it's important to find out who this boss is and where he is. Knowing what awaits you before the fight begins will give you half a chance of emerging victorious. With that in mind, know that Margit is also known as "The Fallen Omen" and is one of the demigods in the game's universe.
This boss is the son of the character Marika and the first Elden Lord, known as Godfrey, and also has Mohg, the Blood Lord as his twin brother. Margit is an early boss who guards Castle Tempest and that's where you'll find him. Her attacks are powerful, considering that the player won't be at the peak of their evolution when they meet her, so you should be very cautious before going up against her.
His skills include summoning resources, which can vary from a giant hammer to a dagger or a sharp sword. He's quite agile and can even soar through the air using the hammer, so it's good to explore a bit and evolve your character to stand a chance. Below are some tips on how to get rid of his menace once and for all.
Evolving the equipment
If you want to defeat Margit in Elden Ring quickly, you'll need to upgrade your resource before you set off to meet the boss. To do this, you'll first have to choose which resource you want to use and then go to a forge located in the church of Elleh and level up the resource to at least level 3.
In the process of upgrading your equipment, you will need to have some items. Generally speaking, you'll need ten units of forge stone at your starting level and you'll be able to farm them all by exploring the area, such as Limgrave's dungeons and tunnels. Increasing the level of your equipment will increase the damage it does and this can be essential for defeating Margit in Elden Ring.
Find items that can help you
There are some in-game items that can be obtained at the start of the game and can help you defeat Margit in Elden Ring more quickly. The Magnificent Elixir is one such item and can be obtained in Marika's Third Church. Many players don't get the Elixir until much later in the game, but it's better to get it as soon as possible and use it in the initial battles. With it, the player can mix two special effects and even get an extra cure.
The item Margit's Cuffs can also be very useful when fighting the boss. It can be obtained after fighting the NPC Patches in the Mausoleum Wing Cave. You'll have to fight him, but after that he'll become a vendor and you'll be able to buy this item. With the handcuffs you can interrupt an ongoing attack by Margit during the first phase of the fight twice. It may not seem like much, but using it at the right time could end up saving your life.
Look for runes
The runes are obtained after defeating enemies and exploring the area in search of these drops helps a lot to increase your character level. There are many sub-bosses and dungeons to explore in the Limgrave area, so it's advisable to defeat monsters and visit every detail of the map until you're at least level twenty before moving on to your boss battle. Having experience will be a big plus when trying to defeat Margit in Elden Ring.
Get invocations
Summons are a key part of defeating Margit in Elden Ring because they can distract the boss so that you can try to heal its wounds or attack it by surprise. Summons are basically spirit creatures that the player can summon at the time of a fight to help him fight his enemies.
To get your first summon, you'll need to watch the scene that unlocks the use of the Torrent, which is a kind of horse spirit that you use to get around. To access this scene, just head in the direction of the castle. After that, just go back to the church at night and talk to the blue witch Renni who will give you the bell and teach you how to summon wolves with it.
Conclusion
With all these steps in place, defeating Margit in Elden Ring won't be a problem for you. Use each of the tips here to build your strategy based on your build and the boss won't stand a chance!
