Mohg is an optional boss in Elden Ring
If you have completed all the quests and are still undefeated, the last challenge is the mighty Mohg, Lord of Blood. The game has two different versions of this powerful Omen Demigod, one located in the Mohgwyn Palace in the Siofra River and the other in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds below Leyndell. Regardless of which version you choose to fight, you will be rewarded with great runes and 420,000 Runes. The cheese is not as effective as the farming methods, but it is still very useful for leveling your character.
The battle with Mohg is divided into two phases, the first one being relatively easy to kill due to its non-moving nature. In the second phase, Mohg is flying around and his attacks are more difficult to hit. The second phase is particularly dangerous, as you’ll have to deal with his three big slashes and his attacks explode, dealing a decent amount of damage. You should have high defense and a 100% physical block shield. If you are not geared for this fight, it may be a good idea to save the fight for another time.
He bleeds fire in a wide arc
The Elden Ring bleeds fire in a wide radial arc, which makes it ideal for melee combat. However, it does scale with Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane. The bleed increases from base 60 to 82 points when you have 10 Strength and 15 Dexterity. It scales well with Arcane and Dexterity, and it scales poorly with Blood Loss affinity.
Using the Elden Ring is not easy, however. A lot of players aren’t sure how to use it. This is a problem that’s exacerbated by the fact that it’s currently unable to be equipped in PVE. Moreover, the skill is only effective in PVP. In PVE, you’ll be able to glide over enemies without hitting them, but in PVP, it’s unusable.
He applies three stacks of blood curses in phase one
Mohg is the most powerful character in the game, with a hefty damage output from his trident and wings. However, his attacks are slow and telegraphed, ensuring enough time to counterattack. He also has several attack patterns, each with the same startup sequence but a different mixup at the end. It is vital to keep a close eye on Mohg, as he can use a strafe attack to avoid his trident’s slap.
If you don’t feel like spending precious time on the boss fights, you can simply apply the Mohg Shackle to him. Using this technique, you can freeze the Blood Lord for three to five seconds. If you can break the Poise effect of Mohg in the Elden Ring, he’ll become active again and will apply another blood curse. However, be careful not to strike Mohg when he’s frozen.
He uses a shackle
If you are not familiar with this glitch, you are not alone. YouTubers have been revealing it to the world and sharing their own tips and tricks to beat Mohg. The first trick to use against Mohg is the shackle. It can be found on the Elden Ring’s latest key. After you have smashed the ring, it’s time to use the shackle to take Mohg out faster.
In addition to this move, you can use the Purifying Crystal Tear to damage Mohg. If you are on low health, you should use Bloody Finger Surgeon NPCs to boost your bleed damage. After this, Mohg will start casting a countdown move. The Shackle will not be affected by the Purifying Crystal Tear, so you can rush him while he’s casting it.
He uses a tombstone
There are a couple of ways to beat Mohg in the singleplayer mode. The first method is to exploit the explorable boundaries of the room in which Mohg is standing. If the controller is in front of him, he will stand still and not attack. If you can’t do that, try exploiting the explorable boundary by standing in front of Mohg and firing an arrow into him.
The second method is to kill Mohg with multiple arrows from a bow. You will need the Longbow, which you can get from the Twin Maiden Husks. Once you have a Longbow, you can start to craft hundreds of ailment-inflicting arrows. If you are Tarnished, you can also buy unlimited Serpent arrows from Dragonbarrow’s Isolated Merchant. Alternatively, you can stand on the tallest tombstone near the elevator and aim above the Blood Lord with your bow.
He uses a kite
The Elden Ring has several bosses that can be frustrating to beat. Mohg, The Lord of Blood, is one such boss that’s hard to beat. This boss has annoying attacks and red rings, and its red wings and dark wings can be a pain to deal with. Luckily, there are alternate ways to defeat him that won’t involve using any type of damage or magic, including cheese.
One of the most effective ways to defeat Mohg is to exploit his explorable boundaries. This way, he will be standing still in his room, and won’t attack you unless you stand in front of him. He also heals his health a lot, so it’s important to make use of this. If you’re looking for a more effective way to kill Mohg, use the following strategies.
