Margit and Morgott Are One and the Same by Elden Ring

It's easy to miss the fact that Elden Ring's first major boss, Margit, appears later as Morgott, and the reason for this is intriguing.

There's no getting around the fact that Elden Ring can be extremely perplexing. This is especially true when it comes to all of the different characters, as many of them share names. G-name characters are tied to Godfrey, R-name characters are related to Radagon, and M-names are affiliated with twins/Omens, according to Elden Ring's naming rules.

Margit, Morgott, and Mohg are three Omens—beings born "hideously" and banished to the sewers, commonly regarded as foreboding omen of impending doom—and players may encounter each of them in Elden Ring. Margit and Morgott are non-optional Elden Ring bosses, but the player chooses whether or not to face Mohg. The issue is, there are only two Omens since Margit and Morgott are the same person, despite the fact that not all similar names in the game suggest this.

Margit's Character and the Boss Fight in Elden Ring

To gain entrance to Stormveil Castle, players must defeat Margit the Fell Omen, Elden Ring's first big monster, who is extremely challenging. By this time in the game, little is known about Margit or even Omens, as players may be more concerned about facing him than learning about him. Nonetheless, his assault patterns are obvious, as is his desire for no Tarnished to make it through Stormveil Castle. Many people believe Margit is dead after his defeat, however this is not the truth.

Players will meet Morgott the Omen King in Leyndell's capital. His attack patterns will be comparable to Margit's, and he'll have the same appearance. Portions players may attribute this to the game's reuse of some of Elden Ring's monster and boss designs, but that isn't the case here—Margit and Morgott remain one and the same, no matter how muddled the scenario becomes. Indeed, the way Shackles are constructed for specific Omens reaffirms this. Patches can be used to obtain Margit's Shackles, which will not work against Mohg but will work for Morgott.

Why does Morgott introduce himself as Margit, Elden Ring?

Naturally, the issue arises as to why the name was changed. Morgott was Marika's child, but he was shunned and never had the same popularity or devotion as his half-brothers Godwyn and Miqeulla. Despite this, Morgott appears to be committed to preserving his family's legacy. He keeps an eye on the seats, the capital, and the Erdtree to make sure no one messes with them—indeed, the Omen appears to be the most powerful of Elden Ring's demigods. In terms of mental results, Morgott has one of, if not the finest, of the Shattering. While characters like Radahn become mindless husks, he is able to plot.

It wouldn't make sense to make the Capital his first line of defence if preserving the Erdtree and the Capital also means protecting his mother and family. Elden Ring's Tarnished are Morgott's natural opponents, as they strive to amass the shards and become the next Elden Lord, wiping everything Morgott's ancestors created. He may trap and ambush any early adventurers by disguising himself and relocating his frontline to Stormveil Castle before they develop enough power to make their way through the capital—stronger than they were earlier in their quest.

Other characters, such as the Demigods and the Roundtable Hold, aren't able to figure out who he is because of his new name. This could result in another fight or a Tarnished onslaught. Morgott's new moniker is akin to Clark Kent's new specs. In any other game, anyone would be confused by the name change, but in Elden Ring, it's a simple ploy that keeps his identity hidden from the Demigods, Roundtable Hold, and a slew of other players.
