Elden Ring Margit's Shackle Guide
Elden Ring Margit’s Shackle Guide
What Is Margit’s Shackle?
Margit’s Shackle is a reusable tool in Elden Ring that is functionally similar to Mohg’s Shackle. According to the game’s item descriptions (as referenced in the Mohg’s Shackle page), both shackles are fetishes bathed in golden magic, originally used to bind the accursed Omen people. The Margit’s Shackle was specifically made to keep the Fell Omen under confinement. Though faint, the shackle still retains enough power to briefly trap Margit (and later Morgott) on the ground.
The item is listed among other reusable tools in the game, including the Blasphemous Claw and Purifying Crystal Tear, which are designed to aid in specific boss fights.
Note: The provided sources do not include the acquisition location for Margit’s Shackle. (In the full game, it is obtained from Patches in Murkwater Cave, but this information is not present in the given sources.)
How to Use Margit’s Shackle
Against Margit, the Fell Omen (Limgrave and Capital Outskirts)
- When to use: The shackle can be activated during Phase 1 of the Margit fight. Using it temporarily stuns the boss, leaving him open to attacks.
- Phase 2 restriction: The shackle does not work once Margit enters Phase 2 (triggered when his health reaches ~60%).
- Effectiveness: The stun is brief but creates a safe window to land charged attacks, jump attacks, or use powerful Ashes of War.
- Number of uses: The provided sources do not specify how many times Margit’s Shackle can be used per fight. (For comparison, Mohg’s Shackle can be used twice per fight, but this is not confirmed for Margit’s version.)
Against Morgott, the Omen King
According to the “See also” section of the Mohg’s Shackle page, Margit’s Shackle also works against Morgott, the Omen King (the true identity of Margit). This suggests the same usage rules apply: it stuns him during Phase 1 only.

FAQ
Does Margit’s Shackle work on both Margit and Morgott?
Yes. According to the “See also” section of the Mohg’s Shackle page, Margit’s Shackle can bind both Margit, the Fell Omen and Morgott, the Omen King. The Margit boss page only describes its use against the first encounter, but the item’s description implies it works on both.
Can I use Margit’s Shackle in Phase 2?
No. The Margit boss page states that the shackle does not work in Phase 2. This is consistent with Mohg’s Shackle, which also becomes ineffective in Phase 2.
How many times can I use it per fight?
The provided sources do not specify a number. For comparison, Mohg’s Shackle can be used twice per fight, but this may not be the same for Margit’s Shackle. Players are advised to test it in‑game, as the item may have a single use per phase or a limited number of activations.
Where can I find Margit’s Shackle?
The acquisition location is not provided in the sources given. (In the full game, it is found in Murkwater Cave, sold by the merchant Patches, but this information is not part of the current source material.)
Is Margit’s Shackle worth using?
Yes, especially for players struggling with Margit’s aggressive Phase 1 combos. The brief stun creates a reliable opening to deal damage or heal. However, because it does not work in Phase 2, it is not a complete solution—you must still learn the boss’s Phase 2 moveset.
