Margit kicking my butt - What level did you beat him at?

[stealthsid]

So I'm wondering if I'm too low level or if I just suck. I'm at lvl 14 and I can barely touch this guy. Should I be grinding?

I never noticed that combo on Samurai because I killed him so fast with my Uchigatana. As Confessor, though? Jeesh. This greatsword swings too slow for this ♥♥♥♥. Man is jumping away before my swing connects, half the time. The starting one-handed sword is hella short. I don't know if the shield would help or not. Pretty sure he'd just break my block in one hit and then it's game over. Kinda useless.

I have no idea how you killed him so fast with an uchigatana unless you are using the weapon arts skils. The uchigatana weapon arts are surprisingly quick and strong but I never upgraded my Mind stat so I could only use them for a few hits then I'm back to R1 doing 100 damage lol

The weapon art on it is very strong and that's how I did most of the damage, yes.

Skeleton summons helped me a lot. Plus I'm using glint magic thing which helped me tremendously.

I've heard people complaining about starter weapons. I started vagabond, halberd is ok but the sword is trash. priority number 1 is getting a new weapon. Imo best thing you can is prob to rush bloodhound and just ram ur face into him until he dies.

Margit was really difficult for me too, even more so than Godrick was for some reason. It only took me a few tries to kill Godrick, but Margit took forever.

The way I found was best was to stop summoning the NPC and just use the jellyfish ashes instead so he doesn't get like 2x more hp.

Margit is tough, I beat him at lvl 25 or 26 I think. He's most definitely a "goal post" type of boss.

If he's too strong though, there are a bunch of easier things to do a bit south of the castle and even though there are a ton of optional things like mini dungeons and the bosses in them, they all serve as a way to get better at the game, and get more runes to level up.

You could also set your summon sign down to help other players, in turn helping you to figure out his attack patterns and when to dodge.

I started as a wretch with the club and had that club for like 4 or 5 hours of playtime.

Hell, I was naked for most of that time too because I never found any gear. Proud to say I killed a giant, which was tough, because if I got hit once I died.

Level 11 +2 weapon.

I got a dog summon called "Rotten Stray" and it's just OP. When the dog does enough damage, the boss gets poisonous rot. That is a really strong DoT that seems to be active until the enemy dies. I wouldn't be able to beat the fight without this summon.

14. My biggest issue with him was his movement. He keeps jumping away after his combos, not allowing you much of a chance to hit him in his downtime. It's a very annoying fight.

That probably annoyed me the most. Him leaping literally across the screen after you dodge his attacks. As well as him having both a 2 knife throwing combo as well as a 1 knife throw + very quick lunge attack from across the room that have identical tells. And all of his combo have that ridiculous range. That's the real pain with this guy. Even more than him being strong or difficult he is ANNOYING. The fight just isn't any fun. He can chain multiple combos together with no window to attack him at all so you have to wait forever for an opportunity to pop him once or twice. I also hate his quick upward swing with the cane. The fact it exists among his slow moves and it coming out as a first swing makes timing on him painful.

Sorry, guys, I have played and beaten every from software game, and hit is just a badly designed boss. Period.

I beat him in 1 hit at level 1 git gud

Beat him at level 28 with a Samurai and no summons or arrows. Was challenging and I definitely cursed the devs out a bit with his spin to win bs

I'm stuck too. He's the first boss as far as I understand. I don't understand what they were thinking.

The whole area leading up to him is full of weaker things to fight, several optional bosses that each give a lot of souls, and good gear strewn about as loot or in shops. If you 'beat' the area and then face Margit he is a lot tamer.

I think most people are rushing the critical path like it's a Dark Souls game and fighting him while severely underlevelled, unupgraded and undergeared. If you see something you can go and investigate it, the horizon isn't just pretty world building in this like it was in Souls. There's so much stuff everywhere.

I think part of the problem is the arrows explicitly pointing you toward him which makes it feel like the required first path you should take before going anywhere else. Of course the opposite is true

You can beat him early, it's just that it would take skill and knowledge, and those need to come from somewhere.

I beat him at 20 using the jellyfish summon and the npc summon
