Who is Mohg?
Mohg, the Lord of Blood, is a feared monster hidden in the shadows of the Elden Ring. Rising from Mohgwyn Palace, this scheming tyrant inspires dread and curiosity as he confronts adventurers with his fearless bloodlust.

- Blood-Resistant Gear: Mohg attacks primarily with blood. equip armor and talismans that make you less susceptible to bleeding.
- Level Up: Make sure your character is leveled. Mohg isn’t a simple boss to beat, and higher stats will give you a huge lead.
- Summon Spirits: If you’re playing solo, try bringing spirits into battle with you. They can distract and cause more damage.

Phase 1: Bloodlord’s Wrath
In this initial phase, Mohg unleashes a flurry of aggressive attacks, combining brutal melee strikes with potent blood magic. Stay on your toes and dodge effectively to avoid taking heavy damage.

- New Attacks: In this phase, Mohg acquires a repertoire of brutal blood flame magic attacks with much wider ranges. Stay extra vigilant and prioritize dodging.
