Margit's Shackle is a Tool in Elden Ring. Tools are unique, reusable items which assist the player during various facets of gameplay ranging from basic communication to assisting in boss encounters.
A fetish bathed in golden magic. Shackles were used to bind the accursed people called the Omen, and these ones were made to keep a particular Omen under strictest confinement.
Though faint, the shackles still retain vestiges of power — enough to trap the once-bound Margit on earth, if only for a short time.
Where to find Margit's Shackle in Elden Ring
Can be purchased from Patches for 
5000 Runes in Murkwater Cave. [Map Link] After he becomes available as a merchant. Or it can be purchased from the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable Hold, after giving them Patches's Bell Bearing. Video Location
Margit's Shackle use in Elden Ring
Margit's Shackle, when used during one of Margit's boss fights, causes Margit to violently slam against the floor, inflicting no damage, but stunning him for a brief moment. This effect will also interrupt anything Margit was doing at the time. The effect of this item can only be activated twice during the boss fight and only during Margit's first phase. Attempting to use the shackle otherwise will have the player go through the animation, but will have no effect whatsoever.
Elden Ring Margit's Shackle Notes & Tips
- You can hold up to 1 Margit's Shackle.
- You can store up to 600 Margit's Shackle.
- Sell Value:
N/A - Margit's Shackle will also work similarly during the boss fight with Morgott, the Omen King.
- While it might be an oversight, Margit's Shackle (as well as Mohg's Shackle) can be used to dispel nearby illusory walls and trigger some dungeon traps that require striking, in particular, it can be used to trigger the fire pillar trap within Auriza Hero's Grave from as far away as the small area beside a pit, just before the incline leading to the dungeon's first Chariot, allowing the three Chariots in the dungeon to collide and be destroyed with considerably little effort. Supposedly, this effect is due to the shackle releasing an invisible, large range explosion that deals no damage, but hits everything in its range. Please note, Mohg's Shackle has less range than Margit's Shackle. This is likely due to the fact that you can encounter Margit once out on the field, so they gave his shackle a greater range to compensate for this.
1300 hours into this game: "I'm gonna save this for phase two when he has more dangerous combos!" smh my head

Super cool of Fromsoft to add an item like this, even if its secondary effects may have been accidental. The hidden wall mechanic is great fun, but spending time rolling around the edges of suspicious rooms kinda breaks the verisimilitude.

Does anybody know what the actual range is on this, or a good place to test it for myself? I'd like to know for science.

So the description say these shackles are a "fetish"... Didn't know Margit was into bondage...

this item actually has some limited use in pvp as an invader - it does not seem to work when playing as host. if you use the shackle and the host is in range of its large, invisible hitbox, combat will be initiated and will start stamina consumption. you can use this if a player is running from you and not in combat so they do not have infinite stam to keep running, and you can use it to begin stamina consumption to set up various no stam glitches from a safe distance.

If you kill patches take his bearing to the finger sisters at roundtable hold and you can buy it.
I'd already killed Margit before I even found patches cave.

I've been all over wiki looking for the **** people used in catacombs to move the pillars, turns out I had it all along.

1. This one and other shackle reveals secret walls in a HUMONGUOS area. Literally used in cave where u get crow assassin coat that boost your air dmg attacks and it revealed ALL walls in the dungeon
2. It can trigger towers in dungeons (like ones that spit fire , frost etc) also in HUGE area
So yeah... the shackles actually one of the best items in the game

I dont see how this item is worth it. Takes the same amount of time to drink a flask as to use this to interrupt morgott for just under a second... Nearly the amount of time it took to use. So much easier just to dodge whatever attack you were hoping to interrupt since morgotts attack as so long and telegraphed and easily punished after, it maybe lets you get in an extra hit. I tried using this in the fight against Mohg and while it did stop his attacks for a second, it doesnt matter bc over the course of the fight you need to learn to dodge their attacks to win. You need to dodge at least 20 times, saving you 2 extra dodges is not going to help.
However being able to trigger those flaming pillars from across the dungeon is super useful.

Can also be bought from Patches at Volcano Manor once he moves there.

Just notice the shackles have a strange affect on npc Rya's barrier unless it's a glitch

The "situational" Tool is actually the best Tool for casual exploration

Ok but how and why did Patches get a hold of it. Any theories?

this item can also be used to reveal fake walls and make those fire spitting pillars from the dungeons go up and down without u needing to get close

Seen too many players sleep on this item. Aside from making the boss fight easier, it can also trigger traps and reveal hidden walls in a huge radius when used. Definitely worth carrying in quick slot, especially in dungeons.

I used right outside the fog wall in Deathtouched Catacombs and when I went in the assassin was at half health before I even hit'em. Don't know if it's a glitch or not,haven't tried the other assassin's yet.

The fact it has to be used during the first half is so stupid. Theres no indication or logical reason for that to be the case. Incredibly vague and confusing. Genuinely poor design decision.

Weird question, does this work on the Capital statue for gold mask quest? Since it can trigger illusionary walls and stuff. Just to save respecing for int

For a 5k rune investment, this thing is quite useful in early coop. There's always someone needing help at the margit fight, and using it at the right time can save the host, or open up the boss to a ton of burst damage. Helping someone defeat him once basically makes up for the sum you paid for it, and if you keep doing it, it will be worth tenfold. Not to mention it has these weird interactions with illusory walls, fire traps, and chariots sometimes.

Good, did not know the uses other than implied by the name and thinking 'must be single use' for the margit fight as a secret way to make it easier. Just got to the point where patches hands me the dancer's. Good.

Fast travel after you unlock patches and then you will unlock him as a vendor.

Both shackles can be used to activate the pillars that spew out fire.
Guys I bought it and it's no where in my inventory, been driving myself crazy trying to find it. The store says bought, but it's no where. I bought it after killing margit to use in the auriza side tomb. Wtf

I can't find patches, is there any other way to get it after patches leaves his cave

Either shackle can be used to activate/deactivate the fire or frost pillars in dungeons
- Anonymous
can use either shackle to reveal illusory walls from like a mile away, wall not even on the screen

learned about this item like 20 minutes after killing patches and had a good chuckle that they give you this option since hes easy to parry to death
i did find it weird how such an unrelenting boss was placed in such early game

PSA: I tend to see a lot of people in co-op spamming shackle items as soon as the fight starts. Don't do this, as it wastes the shackle's influence. Instead, use it right before landing heavy burst damage, especially to their head. Alternatively, if playing co-op another great use is a safety net for a player who's about to be finished off since it comes out fast and has infinite range.

This can be used to destroy the chariots in Auriza Hero's Grave! Activating it within the dungeon will somehow trigger the fire trap at the bottom of the ramp, which means the third chariot spawns and they all crash into each other and die. Then you can explore the dungeon at your leisure.

I used this item outside of Morgotts boss room and he glitched out for the first phase

You can freeze Margit's first phase with it :
- I used it twice near Margit fog wall, before entering the battle. That's it.
(Why use twice ? No reason, I didn't try with only one use ^^ )

It can be used to control fire traps remotely, don't know if it's a bug.

For those asking: the item costs 5000 to aquire. It does not cost runes to use and can be used unlimited number of times (though during a single battle it will bind Margit only twice).

If you kill Patches coz everyone wants to, just give his bell to the twin husk in the roundtablehold and his merch will be sold there.

This is not consumed on use, so it is okay even if you die during attempts.

5000 for single use?! Or does it return when you rest at a Site of Grace?

You can stack these for a possible six stun between each players shackle.

As of v1.14, Margit's Shackle causes some seated/waiting enemies to start their patrol routes. For patrolling enemies it draws attention. The range is iffy but it saves arrows.
