@@harrystyles7466 right, but they could’ve taken the little bit of time to just add the map locations so that I didn’t have to Google them all separately. For the sake of convenience of course.

Margit is the biggest noob trap i've ever seen in a souls game, the bonfires point you directly to him, so i imagine many new players would be following the bonfire markers.
TS is the hardest early game boss, definitely worse than Margit. I've seen experienced souls players jump straight into fighting him and get wiped out several times before beating him.
@marshallpainting6343 It just shows that we all have different strengths and weaknesses with enemies! TS always gives me no end of problems. NK has never really bothered me though, even though he's also on a horse and is arguably even more agile. I just think his attacks generally don't hit as fast or as hard, and his move set is a little less complex. One other enemy type that others found easy, but for ages I didn't, was the Erd Tree Avatar. Even now, I'm not particularly confident with them.
Quick tip to easily beat Leonine: there is actually a whip that you can find when you are progressing through the castle. Leonine has a weakness to whips and stops his attacks midway when whipped. hope it helps ;)
From seem to like throwing in a few gimmick fights... the spear with Rykard is another one (even with the spear it took me a few tries though, had to figure out that Mimic Tear ashes were the way to go then it got pretty easy).
A useful tip for beginners: When facing the skeletons or gargoyles in the catacombs make sure you use a weapon that deals "striking" damage. Like a mace, flail or club. This is much more effective than a sword or other sharp weapon.
Great tip!! I also found that out versus the crystal boss in the mine. I was using my kitana and doing nothing at all! Went to the tooth covered club and it was a wrap!
The biggest tip I can give for Elden Ring is that vigor should take priority when leveling up early on. Weapon damage stats early on are impacted more by smithing stone upgrades than stats like strength and dexterity anyway. Sinking your early levels into anything other than vigor is a recipe for frustration .
I would recommend going after the watchdog before the duelist. It's closer to the starting location and its attacks are easier to read and has WAY more punishable attacks.
Honorable mention goes out to the Demi-Human Chief Bosses that are a part of Boc’s quest line. You can summon a Knight to help you out, but be sure to draw their aggro or he’ll die pretty quick. Also try and focus only on the boss because the other small enemies will keep respawning.
I think I ran past the murk water cave several times but from the top of the cliffs and I finished the dungeon that's a bit further into the canyon but I never met the invader nor had any idea there was a cave there. Thank you!
This is probably the best advice on how to beat margit I believe I was level 24 when I stood a chance against him. I used a summon and the item from patches that’s useful to half health him almost immediately
@@TimXMan1000 it is the rotten stray dog summon. It is to the left of the cave that you teleport to when you open the chest that you find in the dragon burnt ruins. He applies scarlet rot. Once he does that, all you have to do is to survive for a couple minutes.
You should try showing the locations on the map before jumping right into the fight, maybe you’d get more views on this “guide”. Example of why showing dislikes was necessary.
Leonine was one I actually took on first. I unfortunately died early on in the castle (before meeting the girl's dad as part of her quest), left the area and went to get better equipped, returned and the dad was nowhere to be found. Quest over. Killed Leonine, though. He was tough, but not as tough as I had expected.
@@rexlapis1075 I felt this way for all the main bosses. If you thoroughly explore each area before facing the final boss then they are all easy. The only exception being the last boss because the elden beast has some weird moves
This was my first Souls game and I was a bit intimidated by all the "Bosses are brutal" videos... so I levelled a LOT before I tried Margit, then ended up beating him first try thanks to my wolves who have saved my backside MANY times since then (Mage build since that seemed like a wise choice first pass)... except for dragons... they seem to be afraid of dragons.
I don’t get why mad pumpkin head isn’t in the list. He is probably on of the easiest bosses and you’ll gain access to sellen so if you’re planning to do some magic you really need to fight him
@@PredictableEnigma well, anything with a boss health bar is a boss and the first one was a boss. They’re are many bosses that became regular enemies at the end, hell even margit appeared in atlus plateau.
@@PredictableEnigmayeah he’s set up like a boss and was way harder than the regular pumpkin heads sprinkled around. Has a different moveset I think, the boss version seemed way more aggressive to me. Maybe not different moves so much as him attacking way more often. All I know is when I encountered another one not too long after I was spooked only to find the overworld pumpkin head hardly a threat
He was pretty tough, but as a strength, dex build. It took me 3 tries i was impressed with myself considering this was my first souls game. Not to mention i didnt even know about margrits shackle until after i defeated him lmao
I think bloodhound knight darwhil should be added cause he drops bloodhound fang sword that has high hemorrhage damage and the sword only requires 18 strength and 17 dex for such a high damage sword and the bloodhound step ability on it can be clutch , and Margit can be bled so this sword can end her quick
I’m in love with that freaking game!!! I have like 30+ hours on it and I can’t stop playing it!!! There’s a lot of explore and customization and armors and sorceries and special talismans and challenges and so on!!! A masterpiece and definitely a worthy winner of GOTY. This coming for someone that platinum God of War Ragnarok and thought that it was unmatchable until a few hours playing Elder Ring and discover and learned how the game works and started to explore and upgrading. One of my favorites games of all time for sure!!!
my first "soulslike" game and I love this game too ... over 500 hours with several characters and different builds at the same time, I have still so much to do and to explore and it`s a lot of fun

Only bought the game a couple of weeks ago, been busy so haven't gotten many hours into it so far. I went straight to Margit and after 7 hours, 17 minutes of total gameplay I killed him. My first souls game.
I think I actually was a bit overprepared for the Margit fight. As a DS3 veteran, when I found out this guy was even harder than Iudex Gundyr, I was low-key terrified. I did like 80% of the areas in Limgrave (caves, catacombs etc.), I also followed a guide on how to get op early, with which I got a talisman that is broken early on (Radagon’s soreseal for those who wonder), two incredible weapons and a spell (Moonveil and meteorite staff with Rock sling), also including several sombers to get the Moonveil to +6 and I also gained extra levels by cheesing the huge dragon that was stuck in the ground in Caelid. When I got to Margit I deleted him in less than a minute XD
@@khirek5335 I beat the game already. I first-tried most bosses, with only a few really hard ones requiring a but longer. Longest ones were Malenia, Elden Beast and Plasidusax, but the only one that took me longer than an hour was Rennala on my first playtrough (magic build and all)
i know this is uncalled for, but after getting torrent u can go to the merchant Kale at the start of the game and find Ranni the Witch, she'll give you lone wolfs ashes and a bell, go to the Margit and before enter the arena, summon Sorcerer Rogier and enter the fog, spawn wolfes and while hes distracted just break poise by making heavy attacks over and over, dont be greedy tho(cmon man margit lvl requirement is like 10)
Maybe I've just gotten extremely lucky each time I've fought Margit, but I managed to beat him with relative ease the two times I've fought him. Of course, I made sure to summon Rogier and used the Lone Wolf Ashes to give me some breathing room. Margit's Shackle helped but I don't think that I used it to its full potential. I ended up locking him down once during his first phase, but with three sources of damage steadily knocking off chunks of his health, he went right into his second phase pretty quickly and then it became useless. My first go around I walloped him with a Confessor, and I'll admit that that fight was a lot more challenging because I didn't know what to expect and I only had melee weapons. The second time around I was playing as a Samurai, and the bow with the Great Shot Ashes and fletched bone fire arrows, along with Rogier and the Lone Wolf Ashes, made the fight a whole lot easier.
First time Soulsborne player here...Everyone made me so scared of margit that i kept grinding for hours...following TH-cam guides somehow found my way even to the capital outskirts, liurnia, caelid... Anyway by the time i actually fought the poor guy i kinda zipped around like anime character with aow(that night cavalry one)and my dragon rot + blood hound kinda stomped him so bad 🤣.
I love how this video is about a whole bunch of bosses to do do before margit and I literally played elden ring for the first time in my life and margit was the first boss I beat. I picked astrologer because I wanna be a mage and just played around a bit and killed a bunch of random minions around limgrave and when I was around level 15ish I got 3 things. When I had enough INT I got the meteorite staff and then I went to get the stone calling spell too as well as the wolf summons (yes I did look online for what to get and stuff) this game is so much more difficult than it seems but quite handleable when you get the hang of it. Honestly tho, astrologer is actually OP, it's a glass cannon kinda build but if you can keep your distance using your summons and a shield early on to keep enemies who get too close, away, then you're good. Just pump points into INT and MIND so you can cast more spells and some into vigor for extra health because you'll need it. I mean I'm still figuring it out myself 😅😅
I got very lucky today, I just got the game and after over 8 hours of gameplay, I summoned 2 friends and we were doing so good. My heart sank when I died because he was down to just one hit and my friends were still alive but I was the host. In the 5 seconds that I was dead on the ground, they were able to just finish him off and I was able to pass through the gate. I am now working on this castle
@@kyojirorengoku1648 hold L2 for PS4 and he grips his hilt, then R2 for a power attack and you'll lunge forward and do some serious damage and hopefully get a couple light hits in after to cause a chunk to be taken away from bleed damage. Later on you might wanna look into the moonveil katana ( I believe it's called) and it has an even better ash of war with a light and heavy version of it and better stats (but you'll wanna start dumping points into intelligence, when not adding to vigor)
First area of Map has tons of discoveries and rune farming spots. I say take your time and explore Limgrave first, as I think the game intended. Level up atleast to scale with Margit and enjoy your first triumph.
Thanks for the guide! I still had about 5 out of 7 of these to kill after beating margit and Godrick 😅 that being said as a strength build with beast champions altered armor and bloodhounds fang +5, I pretty much two shot every boss
Hi, you can do it with or without the shield, I dropped the shield after 30 hours of game cause I genuinely couldn't coordinate and never used it. All I do is sprint, jump or run whenever an enemy attacks. So a very simple piece of advice from me would be to practice if you want to use a shield or not use it at all and pay attention to his moveset
I followed a whole starter guide and then also docked around for a while longer before I got to Margot so I was surprised how easy he was. I was prob like a level 30 by then though, lol
The Beast Man would have been the first boss that I encountered, but, novice as I was, I was constantly getting schlacked by the pack of wolves outside his gate. When I finally got through them all I had so little health, I knew I wasn't ready for it. SO my first boss was Margit instead! 🤣
Same here with the wolves, you can swing your weapon to get their attention and then back up on that little pathway to line them up and try to take them one on one; or honestly just run straight through them and into the boss room
I beat margit on my first day of playing and I realized I didn’t need to grind so hard the first day to kill him lol but glad I got him and tree sentinel out of the way.
Leonine is one of the tougher Limgrave bosses, because he hits hard and is aggressive. But like most of the early sword or weapon wielding bosses, his move set and combos just need to be learned and you can't be too greedy in hitting him. Bosses such as him, Crucible Knight, Zamor and even Darrawil are good bosses to fight, immediately before you go to Margit.
Don't forget the first dragon fight, as well as the first stonedigger troll. The dragon is pretty easy and drops a lot of souls and the stonedigger trolls cave is filled with upgrade materials. Btw: kill patches. Always kill patches.
@@asharw18 Not totally sure, but I think you can take the bell bearing from killing him and give it to the Twin Husks at the Roundtable, where you can then buy all the stuff he would've sold you.
with the help of my ghost ashes + NPC Edgar (see his red mark at the entrance) the fight against Leonine in Castle Morne was quite quickly and easy done
I got lost in open world for a while and by the time I got back to story I beat Margit really fast first try since I was prob over leveled at 30ish but I had bloodhound fang that did high hemorrhage damage and if you use putrid ashes you can get scarlet rot or just use any ash to distract and hit hard from behind Also if you buy Margit shackle from patches you’re able to use it twice in first phase in which it locks the boss down and gets you lots of free hits and easy stagger making first phase trivial
More like "any overworld boss who lives under a convenient cliff where you can rock sling or frenzied burst them to death from the high ground", "Lenne's Rise Night's Cavalry who loves falling to his doom" and "any stationary boss you can sneak up behind to poison mist them".
if especially in Elden Ring a magician kills the foes and bosses with long-distance magic, then that's not "cheesy" but perfectly normal, that's how a magician does it ... luckily in Elden Ring there are many other effective options than only always playing a melee fighter with heavy armor and a greatsword ... my Vagabond is sort of a hybrid as an effective good melee fighter (currently mainly with the Uchigatana or the Icerind Hatchet) and with good ranged magic with the Meteoric staff and it's been working great for me so far
I finally started this game and was in party chat when I got to margit. They told me to not bother and turn around, but I beat him on my 8th attempt. If you’ve played other souls games, the fight isn’t that bad.
Mad Pumpkin Head should’ve been on this list. He’s easier than most of these. Plus you also get access to a sorcerer NPC upon its defeat. You can also take on Bloodhound Knight Darriwil, 2 Knight Calvaries, Tree Sentinel, and Flying Dragon Agheel. Also, the Black Knife Assassin are all female.
I didn’t know this going into the fight I did beat patches , and use the item , but honestly I’ve found so far the little like knights have been the hardest and most annoying to deal with
I also can only tell u to use these summons of a lonely wolf or what it is called, after he bit margit or whatever boss ur playingfor quite some hits, there is contant damage because of the perks from the dog easyyy
I have never played any souls like games before and I went into elden ring blind. Obviously I went to margit first and I actually beat him pretty quickly without leveling up. I struggled more with the first npc you see when you get out hahaha.
Defeated Margit at around levels 12-15. Was lucky on the attack pattern it gave away. I Glintstone Pebbled it to death. Tried many times then I knew I can get a summon and the Meteorite Staff and Rock Sling early on. KEKW!
Oh btw saying from experience don't summon sccorcer Roger because for me scorcer Roger kept dying in the start and I had to deal with Margit who had extra health now myself
I beat Mirgit on my first run with just lone wolves pack,twin blade and the hire sorcerer and it was pure luck…I didn’t have any armor as well cause I find it slower to move when wearing something
Leonine misbegotten was my second boss to defeat and it actually only took me like 3 tries if you use one of those spirit things it isn’t a big problem
There is one more boss called malenia, she's pretty easy and can help you with dodge learning
Oh yeah she’s the perfect boss for a lvl 1 wretch
Isn’t that the the boss that gives like a ton of runes for no difficulty whatsoever?
Bro she’s easier than most regular NPCs it’s crazy how easy they mad it
Bro isn't that the hardest boss in all of souls borne games?

I mean yeah but you can’t blame them really
I remember having a similar experience in dark souls 2 with The Pursuer.
I fell headfirst into that trap and Margit promptly obliterated me for my hubris.
If they’re dumb I guess
After beating tree sentinel, margit was a breeze lol
and for me Godrick at the end of Stormveil Castle was surprisingly easy either, I killed him right on my first try

Just pump points into INT and MIND so you can cast more spells and some into vigor for extra health because you'll need it. I mean I'm still figuring it out myself 😅😅
I got very lucky today, I just got the game and after over 8 hours of gameplay, I summoned 2 friends and we were doing so good. My heart sank when I died because he was down to just one hit and my friends were still alive but I was the host.
In the 5 seconds that I was dead on the ground, they were able to just finish him off and I was able to pass through the gate. I am now working on this castle
I killed the boss solo after like 20 tries, and 5h play time. It's not that hard when you use the adventurer and wolves.
I cleared all of Limgrave field bosses and Weeping Peninsula and dropped Margit in like 2 attempts.
Used the wolves and just used Unsheathed
What unsheathed do because I have it but I don’t know how to use it what is the button you use to use it ?
@@kyojirorengoku1648 do an attack while holding l2
@@kyojirorengoku1648 hold L2 for PS4 and he grips his hilt, then R2 for a power attack and you'll lunge forward and do some serious damage and hopefully get a couple light hits in after to cause a chunk to be taken away from bleed damage.
Later on you might wanna look into the moonveil katana ( I believe it's called) and it has an even better ash of war with a light and heavy version of it and better stats (but you'll wanna start dumping points into intelligence, when not adding to vigor)
Just fight Promised consort Radahn it’s so easy can help you learning with dodging and movement in battles, basically the tutorial boss
Next time put video of markers where are the locations it will help much more
First area of Map has tons of discoveries and rune farming spots. I say take your time and explore Limgrave first, as I think the game intended. Level up atleast to scale with Margit and enjoy your first triumph.
Awesome guide, thx alot.
Thanks for the guide! I still had about 5 out of 7 of these to kill after beating margit and Godrick 😅 that being said as a strength build with beast champions altered armor and bloodhounds fang +5, I pretty much two shot every boss
Don't thank her dude. This has got to be a troll. The watchdogs, and the duelist are some of the most hated enemies in the game!!
Do you recommend fighting Margit with a shield to block attacks or using your weapon two handed and rolling?
Hi, you can do it with or without the shield, I dropped the shield after 30 hours of game cause I genuinely couldn't coordinate and never used it. All I do is sprint, jump or run whenever an enemy attacks. So a very simple piece of advice from me would be to practice if you want to use a shield or not use it at all and pay attention to his moveset
Or roll* the most important thing is that you find your play style to feel the most comfy while playing
I followed a whole starter guide and then also docked around for a while longer before I got to Margot so I was surprised how easy he was. I was prob like a level 30 by then though, lol
Crazy cause I went straight to margrit and beating tree sentinel and the boss in the wolves dungeon
The Beast Man would have been the first boss that I encountered, but, novice as I was, I was constantly getting schlacked by the pack of wolves outside his gate. When I finally got through them all I had so little health, I knew I wasn't ready for it. SO my first boss was Margit instead! 🤣
Same here with the wolves, you can swing your weapon to get their attention and then back up on that little pathway to line them up and try to take them one on one; or honestly just run straight through them and into the boss room
I killed bloodhound knight darriwil before, the curved sword he drops is really very helpful early
I beat margit on my first day of playing and I realized I didn’t need to grind so hard the first day to kill him lol but glad I got him and tree sentinel out of the way.
All melee characters should also get their Faith to 14 to be able to use the divine weapon buff as that permanently kills skeletons
Easier to use the Sacred Blade Ashes of War, the weapon art one shots most skeletons, and the blade stays Holy for a while after you use it.
just a tip, a show of the location on the map would be better.
All the Bosses mentioned except for the last two I have not beaten.. interesting how vast the open world is.
Leonine is one of the tougher Limgrave bosses, because he hits hard and is aggressive. But like most of the early sword or weapon wielding bosses, his move set and combos just need to be learned and you can't be too greedy in hitting him. Bosses such as him, Crucible Knight, Zamor and even Darrawil are good bosses to fight, immediately before you go to Margit.
I am level 40 something and haven’t even done these bosses. Thank you!!!
the way those watchdog bosses move is so uncanny
That dog be doin some DAMAGE
Leonine was a bit of a pain but i got him using the turtle shell shield.. use the shield special and block to heavy hit you are good💪🏻
Don't forget the first dragon fight, as well as the first stonedigger troll. The dragon is pretty easy and drops a lot of souls and the stonedigger trolls cave is filled with upgrade materials. Btw: kill patches. Always kill patches.
Why kill him if you can get an item to help kill margit?
@@asharw18 i believe he drops a bell bearing
@@asharw18 Not totally sure, but I think you can take the bell bearing from killing him and give it to the Twin Husks at the Roundtable, where you can then buy all the stuff he would've sold you.
I always die to the fire attack from the dragon
@@hnfnamia6605 fight him on horseback and sprint out of reach of his fire, this is the way
Pumpkin Head is also a great boss to tackle before Margit. Especially for magic builds.
Great video going to do these I’m new and Margot spanned me hard!
with the help of my ghost ashes + NPC Edgar (see his red mark at the entrance) the fight against Leonine in Castle Morne was quite quickly and easy done
I’m doing my first play through of Elden Ring and I was able to beat leonide on my first try. I was very proud of myself!
I got lost in open world for a while and by the time I got back to story I beat Margit really fast first try since I was prob over leveled at 30ish but I had bloodhound fang that did high hemorrhage damage and if you use putrid ashes you can get scarlet rot or just use any ash to distract and hit hard from behind
Also if you buy Margit shackle from patches you’re able to use it twice in first phase in which it locks the boss down and gets you lots of free hits and easy stagger making first phase trivial
how is everybody's wolf soul so strong? mine died without fail within .2s after summoning
If u choose astrologer you can take him from the beginning pretty easy
More like "any overworld boss who lives under a convenient cliff where you can rock sling or frenzied burst them to death from the high ground", "Lenne's Rise Night's Cavalry who loves falling to his doom" and "any stationary boss you can sneak up behind to poison mist them".
if especially in Elden Ring a magician kills the foes and bosses with long-distance magic, then that's not "cheesy" but perfectly normal, that's how a magician does it ... luckily in Elden Ring there are many other effective options than only always playing a melee fighter with heavy armor and a greatsword ... my Vagabond is sort of a hybrid as an effective good melee fighter (currently mainly with the Uchigatana or the Icerind Hatchet) and with good ranged magic with the Meteoric staff and it's been working great for me so far
I finally started this game and was in party chat when I got to margit. They told me to not bother and turn around, but I beat him on my 8th attempt. If you’ve played other souls games, the fight isn’t that bad.
I tried to fight margit a bunch when I first started(like a week ago) but I’ve since put those foolish ambitions to rest
it took me 2 hours to beat this guy on my first playthrough as Lvl13 Samurai, solo, no summon and unupgraded starting items. such a painful boss.
This was really helpful but y'all didn't include how to get to the grave warden duelist
I killed him but I didn’t get the hammer only the spirit????
@@hsqueeze6456 the last patch made it so he only drops ashes now, the hammer is with the coliseum gladiators
Mad Pumpkin Head should’ve been on this list. He’s easier than most of these. Plus you also get access to a sorcerer NPC upon its defeat.
You can also take on Bloodhound Knight Darriwil, 2 Knight Calvaries, Tree Sentinel, and Flying Dragon Agheel.
Also, the Black Knife Assassin are all female.
I didn’t know this going into the fight I did beat patches , and use the item , but honestly I’ve found so far the little like knights have been the hardest and most annoying to deal with
Best thing to do is get spirit ashes so you can have a distraction across almost all boss encounters
I missed the wolf until last
7:33 nah that’s the fusion blade from FF7 Advent Children
Margit was chill
I also can only tell u to use these summons of a lonely wolf or what it is called, after he bit margit or whatever boss ur playingfor quite some hits, there is contant damage because of the perks from the dog easyyy
I'm terrible at this game and I beat Leonine Misbegotten on my first try. I'd say don't worry about fighting him
I have never played any souls like games before and I went into elden ring blind. Obviously I went to margit first and I actually beat him pretty quickly without leveling up. I struggled more with the first npc you see when you get out hahaha.
Why y'all just talking like I know where some of these are?
After Leonine, Margit felt far easier to me. Maybe because Margit gave me time to heal or counter after one of his combos 😂
Defeated Margit at around levels 12-15. Was lucky on the attack pattern it gave away. I Glintstone Pebbled it to death. Tried many times then I knew I can get a summon and the Meteorite Staff and Rock Sling early on. KEKW!
Real quick, if you can’t power up to beat that Tree Sentinel at the start of Limgrave, forget about stormville castle
It would be fricking useful if you would FRICKING SHOW map LOCATIONS for EACH of them not just some. Otherwise, nice vid.
Your tips is work and i beat him in first try baby
You missed Radahn. It’s a great easy boss you should face before Margit. Simple dodge and kill for a great number of runes. All the best :)
Oh btw saying from experience don't summon sccorcer Roger because for me scorcer Roger kept dying in the start and I had to deal with Margit who had extra health now myself
Killed them all in 5 seconds with bleed build🔥🔥
Don't kill patches...you get some really cool stuff doing his quest line
Plus Margit’s Shackle
i killed him by accident but i saw his quest line he died later on
Honourable mention: Flying Dragon Agheel
you can still get other bosses in Caelid as well before Margit
7:00
You should really try to defeat Leonine with a whip, with that you can easily cancel its attack and just keep going like that until it dies.
I beat Mirgit on my first run with just lone wolves pack,twin blade and the hire sorcerer and it was pure luck…I didn’t have any armor as well cause I find it slower to move when wearing something
Thanks!
Also that bloodhound guy. I beat him first boss of the game
Where is the grave warden duelist? Ik you said murk water catacombs but idk where that is on the map
It would be so much better if you showed the location on the map. I just got the game yesterday I have no clue where any of these places are 🤷🏾♂️
I feel so accomplished knowing Margoth wa the second boss I beat. Took me HOURS!!!
Leonine misbegotten was my second boss to defeat and it actually only took me like 3 tries if you use one of those spirit things it isn’t a big problem
Playing a 2 handed sword warrior with spirit summon the headless and most are a piece of cake.
how do you get to black knife assassin without killing margit?
Question: is it possible to kill patches and get the pearl from him
