How To Defeat Mohg Lord Of Blood In Elden Ring

Mohg, Lord of Blood has various sets of battle moves that causes Hemorrhage (Bleed) and Fire damage. Ironically, he is weak to Hemorrhage, which means that the Swarm of Flies Elden Ring Incantation will immensely help players in this fight.

In addition to Bleed, Mohg is also weak to Physical attacks and Gravity Spells. On the other hand, he’s immune against Fire, Frostbite, Scarlet Rot, and Poison.

Armors have resistance that’ll protect players from certain damage. Therefore, for Mohg, it’s best to equip an armor that has good robustness and Fire resistance. The Elden Ring armor won’t protect Tarnished from everything, but it will minimize the damage.

Like some Elden Ring boss fights, Mohg has two phases. In the first one, he’s fairly easy to hit and doesn’t move around much. The second phase is much harder, as the Lord of Blood is flying most of the time. To make it easier, here’s a complete list of his attacks.

Bloodflame Talons

Mohg will swipe his left arm and create three big slashes that explode and cause decent damage. The key is to roll away from the attack before the explosion.

Bloodboon

An opening appears above Mohg, which he sticks his hand into then splashes players with bloodflame that’ll stay on the floor and cause Hemorrhage build-up. Bloodboon can be done in several ways, but the most used are the horizontal arc and the bloodflame rain.

The former is used when Tarnished are at medium range, and it can be dodged by rolling into it while avoiding the flame on the ground. As for the bloodflame rain, it can only occur once players get too close to Mohg. Before dodging it, circle him and land a few hits on his back, then run away.

Spear Swings

The Lord of Blood swings his spear in 3-4 hits combos that can be dodged by rolling through every swing. There’s an opening to attack him if he slams his weapon to the ground.

Mohg’s Shackle is an item that can stagger the Lord of Blood during his first phase only. The item can be obtained from the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds near Leyndell Catacombs.

Thrust

Mohg will hold his spear horizontally and then charge forward in Tarnished’s direction. If the attack is evaded, there’s a big opening for players to deal damage. Elden Ring Rock Sling is a great option, as he’s weak to Gravitational attacks.

Ritual Countdown

The Lord of Blood thrusts his spear in the air and shouts “Trēs”, “Duo”, and “Ūnus” and with every counting, he’ll put a red ring around players until there are three. Mohg’s back is completely vulnerable during this move.

Blood Ritual

The Blood Ritual is without a doubt the most dangerous attack. After Mohg’s HP significantly drops, he will hold his weapon with both hands and shouts “Nihil” three times, consuming one ring each time. Each shout will cause massive damage to players and restore Mohg’s health.

Unfortunately, This attack is unavoidable, but there are methods to lessen the damage. By acquiring the Purifying Crystal Tear from Bloody Finger Eleonara, Mohg’s attack won’t affect Tarnished anymore.

Airborne Assault

During his second phase, Mohg sprouts giant wings on his back. He’ll then use them to fly away from the players and then charge down back with a powerful swing attack. It’s best to roll through the attack, not away from it.

Defeating Mohg, Lord of Blood rewards players with 420,000 Runes,Mohg's Great Rune , and Remembrance of the Blood Lord .
