I’m just getting cockblocked at Margit. Got my long sword with the bleed art on it, grabbing two summons to go in and just can’t kill this fuck. Soon as he goes into phase two just can’t seem to land hits on him anymore. I guess I just have to grind at this point, which is annoying since I can’t seem to git gud.
Yeah he's tough using traditional dodge techniques, because his attacks are either super quick or super delayed, which makes timing hard until you get to know the fight. If you are good at parrying/staggering, that's the way to go.
If you aren't (like me), then this is what I did to kill him:
1. Use Jellyfish pet.
2. Phase 1 - dodge avoid, get hits in when you can. Remember to roll INTO him, not away from him, so you are in range for attacks.
3. Phase 2 - when he brings out the hammer is when shit usually goes sideways, so here be patient.
4. When he is focused on you, keep at a distance, he usually throws those 2 lightning daggers which are easy to dodge.
5. When he's focused on the jellyfish, you move in behind and get a few hits in.
6. Rinse/repeat.
Occasionally the jellyfish will get enough hits in to poison him; look for the purple shit it spews. Once Margit's hps start ticking down by itself you know the poison got applied. Between this and the occasional hits you get in, it should be easy. Just need to be patient.
