How to beat Mohg, Lord of Blood in Elden Ring – Guide
Elden Ring is about to give you a curveball. While you might be busy with the difficult bosses in the main story, the game has some of the more interesting fights hidden in its secret areas. An example of this is our boy Mohg, the Blood Lord, whom you’ve probably heard of but never met. Deep in the Siofra River is Mohgwyn Palace, which you should seek out if you want to challenge this version of Mohg. Mohg the Blood Lord is a completely optional boss in Elden Ring. You don’t need to defeat him to advance in any of the game’s endings. ..
In this battle, Mohg is a demigod sharpener who rewards players with a Great Rune for defeating him. However, this rune is only for PvP players and it won’t be of use to most PvE players. If you’re looking for a challenge, you can try leaving Mohg until the final of the game or shortly before his fight.
How to defeat Mohg, Lord of Blood in Elden Ring
Attack 1: Foot swing in running swing
Mohg’s most common move is a small step forward and swing from left to right. Shortly after, he raises the trident above his head with both hands and runs towards you for about two and a half seconds. Mohg then swings on himself and finishes from the left side. This attack has considerable delay as it is designed to punish bad timing. If you think the attack is about to be executed, it will likely take a quarter of a second longer.
Attack 2: Charging Strike
Mohg takes a few quick steps forward and slams his pitchfork. As with attack 1, the execution of the attack takes longer than it appears. Normally this is a mid-range solo attack, but Mohg can occasionally use it as a final combination.
Attack 3: Big Swing in Slam Combo
- The basic combo is a three-shot combination of two pistols and a knife.
- Mohg uses this combo as a way to take down enemies quickly and easily.
- Mohg also uses this combo as a way to surprise enemies with quick shots from behind or from close range.
The first is two swings. Mohg will jump over his body, then do it again while holding his trident with both hands.
The third variation of the attack is to swing quickly with a quick step back, hoping to hit your opponent in the chest or neck.
The final boss fight in the game is a dangerous one. Mohg, the dragon, has a new attack that removes the back step from his arena and instead makes him spin around and drive spikes into the ground. After a second or so, he violently removes the spikes for an additional AoE attack. To avoid this attack, you need to roll first to the right, then to the left, and then to the right with a specific time. Blocking is possible but as there are up to four high-powered attacks, watch your stamina carefully. ..
Attack 4: Blood Flame Burst
This “stay away from me” attack has Mohg quickly clawing at the air in front of him, leaving red lines of blood magic that quickly explode into a fireball. It requires precise timing to roll through this attack, but it’s best to circle around Mohg’s left side (his right side) and dodge behind him as the hit zone doesn’t reach that point.
Attack 5: Bloodflame Blast and Follow Up
Mohg creates sparks with his left hand and then attacks again, creating a larger explosion. This attack is easier to dodge than the quick version, as you have more time to move around his back. The problem is, right after the explosion, Mohg delivers a big blow with his trident. This swing covers about 270 degrees around him and does a lot of damage when it hits. Regardless of which direction you choose, however, it’s easy to avoid.
Attack 6: Stab
Mohg charges at you with his trident, but if you roll to the side at the right moment, you can completely dodge it. ..
Attack 7: Blood Rain
Mohg reaches a portal above his head and draws a local shower of fiery blood. The falling blood causes damage and sustained blood loss, leaving pools of blood flames burning on the ground for a short time. When touched, the puddles do minor damage and increase blood loss. You can dodge both of them by going directly behind Mohg’s back and attacking from there, but if you move a little to the side, the attack will catch you at least once.
Attack 8: Blood Throw
If Mohg throws his blood in two patterns, one wide and one long, it will be a pattern that he uses often. He likes to throw his blood in a wide arc so that it will hit all of the players in the area. If he only throws his blood in one pattern, it will be more targeted and specific towards one player. This is usually used as an intimidation tactic or to force them to leave the area.
Attack 9: Tres, Duo, Unus
Mohg raises his trident in a portal above his head and counts down to three in Latin. For each number before zero (nihil), he places a blood red seal around it, forming three concentric rings. Mohg also does a small sweep forward and to the right, leaving his left side, or the right side if you’re facing him.
Attack 10: Nihil
In “Nihil”, Mohg summons more of his power and the entire arena turns red. He will say “Nihil” three times, each time absorbing about half of his health and healing himself. There are two ways to deal with this attack. The first is to absorb all three hits and heal between hits. Since this attack occurs at around 50% of Mogg’s health, he will start the second phase at nearly 80%.
The only way to be spared from Nihil is to use the Purifying Crystal Tear on the Miraculous Healing Vial. Travel to the Second Church of Marika on the Altus Plateau after reaching the top of the Giants’ Mountain, or during the questline of Yura, Hunter of Bloody Fingers. An NPC named Eleonora, Violet Bloody Finger, will enter and, when defeated, will bring down the Loom. Make sure you drink the vial just before Nihil starts, and the barrier he creates will cancel out Mohg’s blood magic.
