Elden Ring: How to beat Margit the Fell Omen

Elden Ring is one of the best-reviewed games in history but how, exactly, do you go about beating Margit the Fell Omen, one of the first un-skippable bosses you come up against?

Players jumping into the game will, of course, have to face a first boss within the first few minutes but you aren’t meant to win that fight.

Once you’re killed – for the first time of many – you’ll respawn in a cave, there will be a cinematic, and you’ll have to fight your way out.

Now, when you get out of the cave, you’ll be greeted with the rolling hills and supreme freedom of Limgrave.

There will be a cinematic or two, and then you’ll be given the chance to explore.

When you’re heading towards Stormveil Castle, the huge and incredible accessible building, you’ll run into Margit The Fell Omen.

He’s a big bad, and he wants your blood. It’s one of the very first bottlenecks in the game; you can’t go any further and access the castle until you find a way to beat him.

However, it’s a remarkably tough boss battle that will likely have you tearing your hair out if you’re not at the right level, or if you’re not correctly equipped.

It should be noted here that there are two phases to the fight with Margit.

You’ll know when the second phase starts, as Margit will summon a golden hammer and start swinging it towards you. These attacks are both devastating and difficult to dodge, so keep a very close eye on when he is swinging at you.

With that said, it’s not easy to just wander in and beat Margit; you’ll need to have a relatively strong character with a fair few special items.

First of all, we’d recommend that you’re over level 20 if you’re going to beat Margit, while you’ll also need at least one summon – if you can bring in either the pack of wolves
