How to Beat Margit the Fell Omen
Run Past the Eagles
The eagles that you'll encounter in Stormveil Castle are difficult to hit and they're attacks are hard to dodge. If you're having a hard time taking them out, try to dodge their attacks. especially the explosive barrels, with rolls while running past them. They're quite squishy, so if you're confident that you can dodge or endure their attacks, take them head on and they'll die in a few hits.
Watch Out for Fire Pots
If you decide to infiltrate Stormveil Castle from the side, you'll run into a room filled with Fire Pot-throwing enemies. Don't rush through the area and wait for them to throw or roll into the barrels to break them before pressing on.
Get the Rusty Key
In the same area as the one with Fire Pot-throwing enemies, you can find the Rusty Key inside a room upstairs. You will be trapped inside the room with a knight upon entering. If you can't beat the knight, just quickly grab the key inside, get yourself killed, and retrieve your runes from this room. The room will be unlocked upon your return.
You can then use the Rusty Key on the locked door below to reach the rest of the castle.
Roll into the Wooden Barricades
The courtyard of the castle is swarming with enemies and mounted ballistae. Avoid fighting any of them and focus on running to your next destination while timing your rolls. There will also be barricades, but you can pass through the rectangular wooden segments by rolling into them.
Defeat Godrick the Grafted
