Top Strategies to Defeat Margit, the Fell Omen
Having trouble with Margit, the Fell Omen in *Elden Ring*? Don’t worry—you’re not alone! Here’s a guide with the most effective tips and strategies to help you defeat this formidable boss and continue your journey through the Lands Between.
1. Get Margit’s Shackle from Patches
Before taking on Margit, make sure to purchase **Margit’s Shackle** from Patches. This unique item temporarily stuns Margit, pinning him to the ground and granting you a window to land free hits.
- Important Tip: Margit’s Shackle only works during Phase 1 of the fight, so use it strategically before he transitions to Phase 2.
2. Summon Spirit Ashes for Support
Spirit Ashes are invaluable for distracting Margit, making it easier for you to focus on dealing damage. Here are some great Spirit Ash options:
- Lone Wolf Ashes: These wolves are excellent for keeping Margit occupied, giving you an opening to attack.
- Spirit Jellyfish: This summon can tank a lot of Margit’s attacks while keeping his attention, letting you safely plan your next move. You can get the Spirit Jellyfish by speaking to Roderika in Stormhill.
- Godrick Soldiers Ashes: A good choice if you want multiple summons. These soldiers are found in a graveyard surrounded by Spirit Jellyfish in Stormhill.
3. Leverage Magic Effectively
Magic users can take advantage of spells to deal consistent damage from a safe distance.
- Glintstone Stars: A powerful option for this fight. Use it strategically to deal burst damage.
- Glintstone Pebble: A reliable spell with low FP cost that can help you chip away at Margit’s health over time.
Pro Tip: Always maintain your distance while casting to avoid Margit’s quick counterattacks.
4. Study His Attack Patterns for Openings
Learning Margit’s moves is crucial for success. One of his most common and punishable attacks is his leaping hammer plunge.
- How to Counter It: Wait for him to jump, roll forward (toward him) as he lands, and immediately follow up with a few quick hits.
This predictable move is one of your best chances to deal damage safely.
5. Equip Ash of War: Barricade Shield
For melee players, the Ash of War: Barricade Shield can make a huge difference. This ability enhances your blocking capabilities, reducing stamina loss when Margit attacks.
- Be aware that Margit’s spectral blades deal non-physical damage, so you’ll still take minor chip damage even when blocking with Barricade Shield.
6. Practice Parrying
Margit’s staff-based attacks are ideal for practicing your parrying skills. Timing your parries correctly can stagger him and open him up for a riposte.
Tips for Parrying:
- Focus on his staff attacks—they’re easier to predict than his magic weapon strikes.
- Two successful parries are enough to stagger him, leaving him vulnerable for a riposte.
Mastering parries can turn this challenging fight into a much more manageable encounter.
Final Thoughts
With these tips in hand, you’ll be well-prepared to take down Margit, the Fell Omen. Remember, success in Elden Ring often comes down to patience, timing, and preparation. Keep practicing, refine your strategy, and you’ll emerge victorious.
Good luck, Tarnished! May your journey through the Lands Between be triumphant.
