Margit, the Fell Omen Limgrave Boss

Description

There are two phases to this battle, with the second phase being triggered at around 60-70% damage.

During this first phase, he’ll perform big blows with his staff and use a conjured blade to either swipe at you when you’re in melee combat or throw them if you’re at a distance from him. The speed of his staff can range from being a relatively quick attack to a slow but incredibly powerful and incapacitating hit. The tell tale sign is how long he holds up or “charges” up the attack - the longer he takes to hit the more powerful it’ll be. In any case, you’ll want to be dodging all the attacks regardless, but knowing when it’ll land is crucial so you can perfectly time the roll.

The second phase is where it gets extra tricky. During this phase, he’ll be able to conjure up a large hammer and a longsword. The large hammer and longsword increase his reach making dodging the conjured weapons a lot harder to dodge. If you’re a melee character, this means you’ll want to increase the distance between yourself and Margit somewhat so you’re able to dodge his attacks more effectively.

Lore

Location

Margit is the first big boss of the main story. You’ll find him at Stormhill, blocking the entrance to the Legacy Dungeon: Stormveil Castle. He is not an optional boss, since you’ll need to defeat him to progress through the main story by going through Stormveil Castle. Right before you head through into the open space where you fight him, you’ll find a Site of Grace just down the tunnel heading towards the castle (Castleward Tunnel).

Notable Info

You can purchase Margit’s Shackle from Patches’ shop in Murkwater Cave, you can use this twice in the first phase to bind Margit to the ground allowing you to get some free strikes against him.
