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?

is this the only boss in the entire souls series that seems to have unavoidable damage that you cannot block nor roll out/into without taking a hit? the holy dagger combo, there is no counterplay to it WTF m8

I found that some of the dagger combos can be blocked. So it's like a dodge, block, dodge thing... still haven't beaten him, but I'm still having fun... lots to do that isn't "defeat boss".

I beat him on the first try at Lvl 23 with a +4 Lordsworn GS. Still kind of surprised I managed to pull that off. I had no heals left, and chip damage would have ended me.

Honestly? I credit that win to the Flask of Wondrous Physick. The Heal + Damage increase buff is insanely good.

I found the item that is supposed to make the fight easier... hours after i beat my head against him... Thanks Dark Souls, i mean Elden Ring

I did beat him after i don't know how many tries around level 20 something with the help of the Skeleton Militia summon. It's super awesome that they can come back to life so they lasted way longer than any other spirit summon.

Fought him about three times last night, two suicide runs to learn the movesets, one proper full on attempt.

Got him to about half health every time, even on the run where I felt I knew his patterns better, no player or NPC summons.

Gonna give it another run tonight. I did feel as if the had move-set bloat though. Quite a few attacks between what amounts to three different weapons, as well as safety / vulnerability cancels from those dagger attacks.

Interesting for what amounts to, what feels like, the first major boss? I wouldn't really call what I've fought in caves and dungeons so far typical bosses.

Excited to fight him again later.

level 74 here, I used jellyfish +4 summon and +4 starter weapon and still struggled but manage to kill Margit and Godrick last night but I'm super bad 😔

[stealthsid]

Not that anyone likely really cares, but FWIW, I finally killed Margit at level 32 with a +4 Ushga...blah...blah (starter Katana). This was delayed mostly by going off-spec to get a cool spell that ended up not being worth it... "blade's order" which did not stack with my ash. :(

I beat him around lvl 20 with the jellyfish summon and the NPC summon next to the fog gate (using an unupgraded lordsworn's greatsword).

based jellyfish bro
my jellyfish's poison literally finished godrick off

[BeautifulFlowerField]

I beat him at around level 30. There is a boss and dungeon to the south, Castle Monse, that is much easier than Stormveil!

When I beat him I was around lvl 20 with a +1 Halberd. I didn't use the NPC summon because I don't know that it is worth it to boost Margits health when the 2nd phase is more dangerous and you need him to burn down as fast as possible. Summon won't last more than a few seconds in 2nd phase. I bought the shackle for 5000, but I ended up not using it. I wanted to try him again without it since I had gained many levels and I got him first try.

Like many have said, I used the jellyfish personal summon. I made sure to keep Margit in between myself and the jellyfish and lined up as straight as possible to one another. This meant that whichever of us he was aggrod on he wouldn't be leaping and wide sweep attacking us both. More importantly it keeps you in a position where even if Margit suddenly moves then he will still be lined up with the poison projectile from the jellyfish, which is slow moving. I held aggro while the poison built up and apparently when poison goes off it makes a TON of aggro and he would turn and leap at the jellyfish. That meant 2-4 really solid and fairly safe hits on boss, which I did quickly to keep him from murdering the jellyfish to quickly. Even with grabbing as quick as possible, over the course of the fight i'd say I got more openings from that than anything else. It ended up dying about halfway through phase 2 and then I just finished Margit off solo. The jellyfish and positioning with it really made a huge difference. Also it being just 1 personal summon instead of multiple wolves meant that Margits target changes didn't come off so chaotic.

Margit doesn't give many openings to hit him on his own and he can punish the smallest amount of greed so it's a game of patience with him. Which just makes using jellyfish all the more useful.

Went back and fought him last night.

As soon as I hopped on, friend wanted to co-op, so took him with me as he asked. As expected and as per usual, completely trivialised the fight.

Went on to the next big boss fight after that on my own though, broke my own rule of completing bosses at least once on my own, prior to engaging in any co-op for them. According to most of the friends though, including ones that almost never co-op, they utilised the NPC summon skills or co-op for once there too, so, fair enough.

level 17 with a +0 uchi. I would not recommend unless you want the challenge. there's no reason to not explore, upgrade your weapons/flask, and level a bit beforehand.
