AnElden Ringplayer points out an interesting detail about Margit that may come as a shock to some fans of the game.Elden Ringfeatures a massive selection of bosses, with a few of them considered to be the most challenging fights in FromSoftware’s entire catalog.
Most players would probably fight Margit, the Fell Omen as the first major boss inElden Ring. Margit is no pushover despite seemingly being the first boss encounter in the game, but users can take advantage of an NPC summon as well as Spirit Ashes to help with the fight. Following this battle, players get access to Stormveil Castle, the first legacy dungeon inElden Ring. However, one player now points to an interesting detail about Margit that may come as a surprise to some gamers.

A Reddit user named kuloredkaos has shared an image that confirms thatMargit is an optional boss inElden Ring. The page appears to be from anElden Ringonline guide that introduces Margit and explains how gamers can find him. Kuloredkaos appears shocked to hear this news and probably makes this post to share their reaction, but they are met with more surprising information on the amount of optional content present inElden Ring.
According to the comments, the boss fight against Godrick the Grafted and the entire level of Stormveil Castle are optional as players only need to kill two shardbearers to progress throughElden Ring’s main quest. This means that the iconic battle against Starscourge Radahn is also optional, but gamers will be missing out on a massive chunk of content by skipping these fights.
Many of these bosses are tied toElden Ring’s legacy dungeon, so users will be missing out on sprawling levels filled with secrets and shortcuts. Some even unlock other massive secret areas that are otherwise inaccessible. Furthermore, users will likely be under-leveled by the time they reach the second half ofElden Ring, so they may run into problems against the more difficult bosses present in these late-game sections.
AsElden Ringhas been out for almost a year,Margit and Stormveil Castle being skippablemay be known to users who have finished the game or have spent a considerable amount of time looking up information on it. However,Elden Ringcontinues to sell well, so some of the newer players may be shocked to hear that so much content in the game is optional.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
