In this Elden Ring guide, we’ll be taking a look into the Demi-God boss Mohg, Lord of Blood, the location where you’ll find him, and all the tips and tricks to defeat him. So without further ado, let us begin.
Elden Ring Mohg, Lord Of Blood Location
Mohg, Lord of Blood, is undoubtedly one of the most strenuous and challenging bosses that exists in the world of Elden Ring.
Mohg, not to be confused with Mohg the Omen, is one of the Shardbearers and is extremely powerful due to his specialization in blood magic. Entering his domain entails encountering several other enemies while also having to deal with him.
Mohg can be located in Mohgwyn Palace in the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum. However, you cant simply head to the location and enter the palace. Instead, you’ll need to check off some of the requirements from the list.
First, you’ll have to complete White-Faced Varré’s quest. You’ll have to head to the Rose Church located towards the south of the Academy of Raya Lucaria in Liurnia to meet with Varré. Upon speaking with him, he’ll ask you to complete several tasks.
The first task is to use Festering Bloody Finger and invade three players. Once you’ve accomplished that, you’ll have to find a piece of rag and immerse it into the blood of the Maiden. Now that you’ve done that, go back to Varré and join his order.
Lastly, Varré will take a finger from you and give it back. After that, he’ll gift Pureblood Knight’s Medal that you can then find in your Inventory and use to navigate the Mohgwyn Palace.
Now make your to the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance site of grace and take the stairs going up. Upon arriving, you’ll have to deal with several Putrid Corpses attacks and Gore Pile.
Dodge and jump over and then take stairs towards the left, where you’ll find Blood Spirit guarding an Isolated Merchant.
Then take a right, go straight, and take another flight of stairs towards the right. This will be the exit of the Mausoleum proper and the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint site of grace. Now go straight from here to enter the fight arena.
Mohg, Lord Of Blood Recommended Level and Weaknesses
As Mohg is a boss you face in the latter part of the game, it will be a real challenge to take him down. The recommended level for Mohg, Lord of Blood, is 90-100.
The Mohg Lord of Blood has a couple of weaknesses as well. It is prone to hemorrhaging, physical damage, and gravity magic attacks. Make sure that you prepare attacks and spells that focus on these weaknesses of Mohg Lord.
First, we recommend you use Mohg’s Shackle to stun the boss to counter his attacks. This is a temporary solution to stop the train of attacks for a few seconds.
Then, use the time to unleash your best combos and moves to provide maximum damage to the boss.
Mohg, Lord Of Blood Attacks and Counters
Mohg, Lord of Blood, has several devastating attacks in his arsenal. The boss fight will take place in 2 different phases. In each phase, he will use different attacks on you.
In the first phase, the attack he will use the most is ‘Blood Claw,’ in which he will slash the environment, launching a trail at you. If it comes in contact with you, it will explode and deal very high damage. To counter it, make sure to roll out of the trail area to escape the attack.
Several times during the fight, right after using the Blood Claw attack, Mohg will charge toward you. If you see him preparing the launch, make sure to move out of his way by rolling to a side to avoid taking damage from the charge attack.
Another attack that he will use during the first phase is a rift, which will start a rain of blood. Then he will either launch the blood towards you using his sword or use the Blood Claw again.
To counter this sequence, make sure to get as far away from him as possible and maintain distance until the sequence is over.
After reaching a certain point in the fight, Mohg will countdown in ‘3, 2, 1’ in Spanish, which will signal the start of the second phase of the fight. He will cast three different curses around the arena during the countdown.
If you get affected by a curse, make sure to use the Purifying Crystal Tear to eliminate all the effects before starting the second phase of the fight.
At the start of the second phase, he will use a ritual attack that will siphon your health and replenish his. There is no way to escape this attack. However, to counter its effect, consume a Flask of Wondrous Physick.
Along with the Purifying Crystal Tear that we used earlier, this will completely nullify the effect of this ritual.
After the ritual, Mohg will start to levitate and shower blood at you before lunging at you. If he successfully hits you, it will result in really high damage. To counter this sequence, roll away right as he starts to dive toward you.
The final attack he will use is his black wings to fly up and then plunge at you using his trident. Make sure you roll into him to nullify this attack.
How to Defeat Mohg, Lord Of Blood Boss in Elden Ring
Now that you’ve finally made your way to the Mohg, Lord Of Blood, it’s time to fight this bad boy! Mohg will be challenging you a fight with two phases. Below we’ve discussed a weakness you can use against him and talk about each phase of the boss fight.
We recommend you first use Mohg’s Shackle to stun the boss to encounter these attacks. This is a temporary solution to stop the train of attacks for a few seconds.
Then, use the time to unleash your best combos and moves to provide maximum damage to the boss.
Phase One
Mohg is here to give you a tough time. He possesses both ranged and melee combo attacks. He’ll do two swings, where the second swing will create deadly lunges.
Furthermore, he does not shy away from deadly AoE explosions that he’ll do by slashing and marking the air when you’re at a range.
On top of that, he will generate blood pools all over the arena, creating deadly flames. And to make matters worse, he will also create Nihil Blood Rings making a red circle around your character.
Mohg’s Nihil Blood Rings is a fatal spell that he’ll cast upon you. If there are two circles around you, there’s no need to worry. However, once you have three, it’s time to brace yourself.
This spell lets the boss give you significant damage while he heals himself. To avoid draining out your HP, use the flasks. However, if you do possess the Purifying Crystal Tear, the spell got nothing on you.
So just before the boss is about to cast the spell, use this, and you’ll have a protective shield keeping you away from any damage. Use this time to aggressively hack and slash the boss and take as much health down as you possibly can.
Phase Two
Once Mohg is done casting the spell, he’ll enter his second phase. In this phase, he’ll display some more attacks.
First, he’ll do melee swipes known as the Bleeding Slash, which will leave marks of blood behind.
Then he’ll make Skewer attack, which is basically him floating in the air and spraying blood, and finally, he’ll throw charges at you.
We mostly recommend using the staircase nearby as your hide to dodge most of his attacks for this phase. You can make use of the environment by fleeing here and there but don’t stay at one location for more than a few seconds, as he’ll most definitely come after you.
Lastly, use fire resistance spells and consumables to make this phase survivable. Give him as much damage as you can to get rid of him while also maintaining your HP.
Mohg Lord of Blood Drops

There is a way to defeat Mohg, Lord of Blood, without having to try really hard. You can use bow and arrows to cheese this boss fight. Head to the Roundtable Hold and purchase the Longbow from Twin Maiden Husks if you do not have one.
It will cost you 1,200 Runes. Next, purchase or craft hundreds of ailment-inflicting arrows like hemorrhaging or poison arrows. Once that is done, head to the boss fight arena, stand on the tallest tombstone, and start firing the arrows.
It will take some time, but the status effect of the arrow will kill Mohg without you having to even move during the fight.
How to Get Mohg, Lord Of Blood’s Favor
To obtain the Lord of Blood’s Favor, you will first need to go and talk to White-Faced Varre in Limgrave to start his questline. Then, go and talk to him again in Liurnia of the Lakes, where he will be located at the Rose Church.
