What is this troll?
DLC comes out last week and you are still speaking about Margit?
Please, you are a troll.

7.5 hours on record with Elden Ring.

OP either "explored" for half an hour and smashed his head against Margit for 7 hours, or is trolling.

7.5 hours in Limgrave ain't ♥♥♥♥..keep looking around

head south to the weeping peninsula first, you'll find a lot of upgrades there.

Margit is a troll. He is tougher than some other bosses. I personally would advice to go around the castle, upgrade your weapons, get some new gear and kill some easier bosses.

[palacentes]

far from the first boss,

you need weapon upgrades ( + 3?) to hit better, ( its much better than leveling strength, huge stat rewards come later at like 30 str, early game is all about weapon upgrade)a few levels of vigor too, maybe 550 hp?

Margit's pattern is also hard, he is the trickiest creature in the first area of the game. Some of the later bosses are actually easier than him ( pattern, not stats). Really takes tries to learn him.

A player summon will be far more powerful than npc. Rogier, Wolves or jelly fish also helps. ( you have to draw aggro almost all the time w summons, or they will die too soon )

git gud

lol

[Mags Blk]

use summons you can do it :3

[WhateverWorks]

Bleed damage, a +4 Bloodhound Fang demolishes Margit. Also a Reduvia can drain him fast.

You can explore all of Limgrave and the Weeping Peninsula before you take on Margit and Stormveil. This is not a game where you grind some and then beat the boss. It has a heavy focus on exploration. Do all the little overworld locations, find the smaller dungeons, beat smaller bosses first. At some point you'll be able to take on Margit.

It's literally first boss you are likely to encounter that has a cutscene, therefore it's "main".

doesn't mean you must fight him in order to explore the rest of the world. just explore other parts of the map and come back when you're stronger

You want the real answer? Just dodge to the left! If you dodge to the right or back he usually has a followup attack but dodging to the left and forward a bit will break his worst combos and allows you an opening.

Also a friendly reminder: he is an optional boss. Or at least semi optional. You need to kill 2 out of 5 remembrance bosses. You can finish the game without entering the castle. You can also enter the castle later when Margit will be gone anyway.
