On this page of the Elden Ring guide you will learn how to defeat the boss Mohg, Lord of Blood in Siofra River.

Last update: 05 March 2024

This page of the Elden Ring game guide contains tips on how to defeat the boss in Siora River, namely Mohg, Lord of Blood and Mohg the Omen.

Locations

Mohg is in the underground location called Siofra River. To get to his palace, you need to complete a quest from NPC called White-Faced Varre. Thanks to him, you will receive the Pureblood Knight's Medal, which will take you to the location where Mohg, Lord of Blood, resides.

In addition to Mohg, Lord of Blood, you can encounter his weaker version. It is in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. The fight with him is similar, but there is no second phase. Mohg the Omen is immune to all kinds of negative statuses. So you don't need a bleeding weapon or anything like that. You can use Mohg's Shackle on him - but only twice, in the early stages of the fight, before his HP is reduced to half. The shackles will keep him in place for a moment, just like in the case of Margit and Morgott.

To get to the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds, you must go to Leyndell, Ashen Capital. Once you reach a Site of Grace called Leyndell, Capital of Ash, head southwest and go down the slope. Soon you will see a hatch in the ground. Unfortunately, there is no ladder here, so you must carefully jump down onto the platforms. In Subterranean Shunning-Grounds, you will reach a Site of Grace called Forsaken Depths. Mohg, the Omen will be waiting for you a bit further. You can fight him with the help of other players or summoning ashes.

General tips

  1. Mohg, the Lord of Blood, is the most weak against bleeding. If you have a weapon that imposes Hemorrhage status, it's a good idea to equip it against the boss. You should also equip Kukri, throwing knives, that cause bleeding.
  2. After entering the arena, you have a lot of time to use various buffs or summons. Mohg is at the other end of the arena. He will start approaching you at a very slow pace.
  3. Before the boss fight, it is worth using a Purifying Crystal Tear to the Flask of Wondrous Physick. It removes the curse of the Lord of Blood. It is available after defeating Eleanor in the Second Church of Marika in the Altus Plateau.
  4. If you don't have a Purifying Crystal Tear, to survive the damage caused by the curse, you have to heal between the second and third Nihil.
  5. His attacks very often spray, especially in the second phase. Keep in mind that even if you dodge an attack, you can take damage from blood or fire.
  6. When playing as a mage, you can also use the Cerulean Hidden Tear. After using the Flask of Wondrous Physick with this tear, you will not spend mana using spells for 10 seconds. Using Comet Azur and this tear will help you get to the second phase of the fight very quickly. You can use it many times because the boss is slow, and with greater damage, he will stand still and impose a curse.
  7. You can use Mohg's Shackle. This item will chain Mohg to the ground for 3 seconds. Note that you can only chain him to the ground during the first phase (before using Nihil).
  8. Mohg has a fairly high resistance to poison, frostbite, or scarlet rot. However, it doesn't mean that such attacks won't deal any damage to him. It's just harder to inflict these statuses on the boss.
  9. Before the fight, it is worth equipping gear that will increase your character's strength. This can make the bleeding status less harmful. You can also use Stanching Boluses. This will be especially important in the second phase of the fight. Many of the enemy's attacks deal physical damage, so armor that has a high resistance to the mentioned damage will be the best.
