Step-by-Step Strategy
Step 1
Level up to at least 30 before attempting. Use Margit's Shackle (purchasable from Patches) to stun him twice during the fight.
Step 2
Roll into his attacks rather than away. The delayed overhead staff strike fools many players — wait for it to land before dodging.
Step 3
Bleed weapons like Reduvia or Rivers of Blood are highly effective against Margit.
Step 4
Spirit summons like Lone Wolf Ashes can distract Margit, giving you safe openings.
