By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-06-01 16:17:15
Margit, the Fell Omen, is a truly iconic first boss for many in the original Elden Ring, so it's fitting he returns to challenge players in Elden Ring Nightreign! The idea of him reappearing as a raid boss or during the night adds an extra layer of tension and familiarity. It's like a recurring, challenging obstacle you might face on your daily commute here in Caracas – you know what to expect, but you still need to be sharp!Let's break down how to approach Margit, the Fell Omen, in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Conquering the Familiar Foe: How to Beat Margit, the Fell Omen in Elden Ring Nightreign

Margit, the Fell Omen, a memorable and challenging adversary from the original Elden Ring, makes his return in Elden Ring Nightreign. While he doesn't hold the title of a primary Nightlord in this new installment, he will make appearances as a raid boss or emerge during the night after your initial encounter with him in the prologue/tutorial. He brings back some of his signature moves, along with a few new tricks to keep players on their toes.

Understanding Margit's Attack Patterns


Margit's boss fight in Elden RingNightreign will feature a blend of familiar moves from his originalappearances, particularly resembling his "Morgott" form. Paying closeattention to his tells is crucial for survival:

  • Dagger Throws: Always watch for when Margit prepares to throw daggers. His weaponswill glow when he equips them, signaling this ranged attack.
  • Big Spear Throw (Ranged Character Warning): If you are playing as a ranged Nightfarer like the Recluse or Ironeye, be especially cautious. Margit will unleash a powerful, large spearthrow designed to close the distance or punish players at range.
  • Red Weapon AoE: A critical tell to observe is when his weapon begins to glow red. When you see this, quickly move away from him. He will unleash a potent Area-of-Effect (AoE) attack that hits hard and has the dangerous added effect of inflicting bleed status.
  • Ground Blasts: Margit will periodically perform an attack that blasts the groundmultiple times. The impact locations will be easily visible, giving youclear opportunities to dodge out of the affected zones.
  • Summoned Blades: At times, he will summon a set of blades that orbit him. When thisoccurs, ensure you create significant distance between yourself andMargit, as this is one of his more powerful and close-quarters attacks.
  • Signature Three-Hit Combos: Despite the new additions, Margit will largely rely on his familiar three-hit combos from the original game. These are often predictable for seasoned players, but still require precise dodge timing.

General Strategy for Defeating Margit

While Margit might have "a few new tricks up his sleeve," his overall pattern remains recognizable. The key to defeating him in Elden Ring Nightreign lies in:

  • Learning His Tells: Successfully identifying his attack wind-ups and visual cues (like glowing weapons) is paramount.
  • Precise Dodging: Mastering the timing of your dodges is essential to avoid hishigh-damage attacks and particularly the dangerous bleed-inflicting AoE.
  • Exploiting Recovery Windows: After he completes his combos or executes powerful moves, there willoften be brief recovery windows where you can safely retaliate with your own attacks.

Even though hisraid fights might not be classified as "that difficult" by veteranSoulslike standards, underestimating Margit, the Fell Omen, is a gravemistake. He can still swiftly eliminate an unwary Nightfarer, somaintain your vigilance and strategic approach to ensure victory.
