ELDEN RING

If this is the first boss room that you encounter…you didn’t explore the first area thoroughly enough. There are a few others in the starting area so it’s best to start with those first to level up. Seriously, starting with this fight first is like trying to fight the Dancer of the Boreal Valley when you first start Dark Souls III. Explore the map, hunt down the other small dungeons and fight those bosses to level up first and get better weapons.

If you follow the trail of light from the Lost Grace Sites, you’ll eventually be led to this boss.

Halfway through the fight he’ll start using weapons made of light; you want to avoid them as the damage will bypass your shield. The overhead smash with the hammer will likely one shot you so avoid it at all costs, you’ll know he’s preparing it when he has it out then jumps up over you. When he pulls out the dagger of light, he'll either use it as a throwing weapon or in melee, either way it's going to be in a 3 hit combo, so it's best to dodge away from him to avoid the damage.

There’s an NPC summon nearby if you need help, along with the statue to enable Jolly Co-Operation right by the fog wall, it's the small T-shamed statue. These can be found near every boss room. The ash summon I found most helpful was the jellyfish you obtain from the girl hiding in the ruined house east from the room where this boss fight occurs. Keep in mind that you cannot use ash summons if you summon another player, just other NPCs.

Also, thanks to faultrd for mentioning the shackles item from the Murkwater Caves that can be used on this boss. I hadn't found that location when I fought the boss, so I didn't know about it when posting this guide. To find that cave, look on the map for the large lake and the river feeding it that can be followed north. There's an NPC invader in this area so be careful, but an NPC helper will automatically join to help protect you. Follow this river north to find the caves on the left-hand side.

How strong you need to be:

In this video guide I will show you how to defeat Margit, the Fell Omen.
First off this will be your first greater enemy in the game if you follow the story progress correctly. Now if you haven't done any leveling up of your character or weapons, you might want to go back and farm for that stuff first. I would say minimal of two or three health upgrades, one or two health flaks upgrades for capacity, one or two for FP bar, and at least one level on your weapon. Now all this is by preference of course, and also different per class. So just adjust to what you think you might need for your class.

Which moves to use:

Before you go into the open fighting area, summon the AI Rogier to help out.
Also if you picked up the bell to summon spirits will help a lot too. Mostly what you want to do is attack as often and as fast as possible when the boss is distracted. If you are playing the samurai like me, using the unsheathe ability as much as you can until the FP bar is gone. This will do most of the damage. Whenever you see him go to his knees make sure to get a free "deathblow" on him for more damage. This may happen twice or more if the right moment happens and if he gets staggered. Also if you want to use the bow for the strong attack by holding LT and pressing RB will deal some good damage as well. Which ever character you have you can also apply the same type of implementations. Just use your set skills when I do.

What attacks to watch for:

Now once he is about halfway the main move of his is when he brings the hammer out and jumps in the air for a big AOE attack. Just keep rolling away from him and hope his attention is on some AI. He has another nasty multi combo attack, so make sure to have plenty of stamina and roll a bunch to avoid it. Just try to keep Rogier alive as long as possible, or you will loose your distraction. If you keep getting good skill hits along side your hit and run tactics when you have an opening, plus Rogier's attacks he should fall fairly quickly. The achievement will pop as soon as you get the rewards.

This is a bit of a cheesy way of dealing with Margit. It requires a little running around to get the required items, but it does work.

The level I did this at = Level 30

The items I used are:-

Rotten Stray Spirit Ashes (From Caelid) [For Scarlet Rot effect]

Morning Star (From Weeping Peninsula) [For Bloodloss effect]
