STRATEGY FOR CLOSE COMBAT
This is an exceptionally difficult fight for melee users because Margit is extremely aggressive and has somewhat long combos that make it difficult to block the entire chain of attacks. You'll have to block sparingly, and dodge most of his attacks to maintain enough stamina to still attack afterwards.
Using Lone Wolf Ashes, if you attack her quickly, between you and the wolf attacks, you can stagger her and gain time to attack. Make sure you keep the pressure up early if you can try to bring it on.
To make defeating Margit easier, lure the boss from the sides of the arena to the center of the dam. This will greatly reduce the chances of him hitting you out of the arena, while also giving you enough room to dodge his 360-degree swings and wide-ranging attacks.
Instead of rushing towards Margit and hitting at close range, just keep your distance and wait for him to use one of his slower attacks. Most of his attacks are well read.
Wait patiently for Margit to finish charging, and once he hits the ground, run up for a few quick hits and then back to a safe distance. Despite her hulking size, Margit is quite agile and often jumps backwards to avoid attacks.
This can prove to be especially frustrating for any players who wield the slower Elden Ring weapons. However, you can counter Margit's mobility by bringing bone darts and throwing daggers into battle. Whenever the giant jumps back, throw your projectiles to force him back into the upcoming scenarios.
Not only will this allow you to maintain your attack, but it will also prevent him from recovering any super armor. During her second phase, Margit will summon a colossal hammer that will jump into the air and slam into the ground.
Once he jumps into the air, we recommend running to the other end of the dam to avoid being attacked. After landing, Margit will be immobile for a few seconds, so weave a few hits before retreating.
STRATEGY FOR MAGES AND ARCHERS
The strategy for magic users is somewhat easier when the Shortbow can be harder to use due to less damage and lack of a Shield.
If you can keep your distance until the boss enters the "non-aggressive" phase, then you can quite easily bypass the giant for a short time, dealing quick damage.
You must use the Claw of the Beast or Glintstone Stars to attack if possible, as they are incredibly efficient and effective. Also, it's a good idea to use a shield in your casual emergency block if you get too close to Margate.
You can use Lone Wolf Ashesto create a distraction that can allow you to dislodge it in less than a minute if you play it right. Wait for the wolves to get his attention and then fire spell after spell, making sure to pause as you build up aggro, giving the wolves time to re-acquire it before continuing your flurry of attacks.
