Margit, the fell omen, is an optional yet tough boss of the Stormveil Castle in the Elden Ring. Though it appears in the early game, you must still be above level 25 to win. The boss has a wide range of close and long-ranged attacks.
This guide covers the easiest strategy to defeat Margit, the fell omen in the Elden Ring, and the item you need to guarantee victory.
Elden Ring Margit the Fell Omen Boss Location
Margit, the Fell Omen, can be found at the entrance of Stormveil Castle, northeast of Limgrave. Make your way to the castle ward tunnel site of grace to get to the boss arena. Although it is an optional boss, you must take him on to unlock the Stormveil Castle.
Before you get to the fight, make sure you have upgraded your character to level 25 at least.
How to Defeat Margit Boss?
This is a complicated boss fight as Margit has swift moves and can be hard for slow melee-focused players, especially those at the lower level. Before the boss fight, make sure you have leveled up your primary weapon at least twice and do call on Sorcerer Rogier before entering the fight. If you want a more effective item, get your hands on Margit’s Shackles.
The strategy is pretty simple, the boss stops for a few minutes after consecutive attacks; this is when you need to activate the Margit’s Shackles. Stack enough damage during this will stagger the boss, creating a window for an easy critical hit.
In the next phase of the fight, Margit pulls out his holy-powered kirk hammer. Wait for him to speak to you; this is when you need to summon spirit summons.
Remember if Margit launches four-combo attacks, focusing on dodging and healing instead of fighting back until he slams his staff or hammer into the ground and then land your attacks.
Rewards
After defeating Margit, the Fell Omen, you will get Talisman Pouch and 12,000 Runes.
How to Cheese Margit, the Fell Omen?
A simple cheese strategy includes using Margit’s Shackles three times outside the boss arena. Once that’s done, enter the arena and go near the boss, and he won’t move at all.
Keep landing attacks on him, but don’t stagger him or damage him too quickly, as this will recover him back into his original position.
Attacks and Counters
Let’s go over all the attacks of Margit, the Fell Omen, and the counters we can take against them.
| Attacks | Counters |
|---|---|
| Dagger Throw | It’s similar to Leaping Stab but with a giant magic hammer. Avoid by simply anticipating the location of the fall and moving out of the way. |
| Swing Flurry | A quick left and right sword swings with relatively short range. Dodge by keeping a distance and then use the small window of time before Margit launches its next attack. |
| Leaping Stab | A jump attack ends with Margit smashing his sword on the ground. Margit takes time before jumping in the air. You can use this opportunity to anticipate the area of effect and move out of the way. Use the time after the attack to deal damage. |
| Hammer Smash | Margit spins in a circular motion, letting his tail do the damage in a small area. Simply roll back to avoid it. |
| Weapon Combo | Margit can quickly switch between weapons and use all of them in a combo attack. Maintain a distance to avoid and follow up with an attack of your own after the combo is complete. |
| Tail Swipe | Margit Spins in a circular motion while letting his tail do the damage in a small area. Simply roll back to avoid. |
