Mohg, Lord of Blood, is one of the most challenging bosses in Elden Ring, a truly formidable foe that demands careful preparation and skillful execution. Finding him, however, can be a journey in itself. This guide will walk you through the exact steps needed to reach Mohg's location, ensuring you're well-prepared for the battle ahead.
Locating Mohgwyn Palace: The Path to Mohg, Lord of Blood
Unlike most bosses, Mohg isn't found through traditional exploration. Reaching him requires a specific, somewhat hidden path. Here's how to get there:
1. Obtain the Mohgwyn Dynasty's Incantation
This isn't an optional step; you must obtain this item. You can find it in the Consecrated Snowfield. To access this area, you need to progress through the game to a point where you can reach the Grand Lift of Rold. Once there, use the lift to reach the consecrated snowfield, which is a large snowy expanse with dangerous enemies.
Within this area, explore thoroughly. You will eventually find a hidden area with a chest. This chest contains the invocation you need.
2. The Bloodboon Ritual Site
Once you have the incantation, you'll need to find a specific location within the game world, a Bloodboon Ritual Site. You'll know it's the right one by looking at the description when activating it. This location is not easily discoverable - there are several such sites in Elden Lands. Activating it with the obtained incantation will instantly teleport you to Mohgwyn Palace.
3. Navigating Mohgwyn Palace
Mohgwyn Palace itself is a relatively small area. However, it’s filled with strong enemies, so proceed with caution. Explore the palace carefully and systematically to defeat enemies to reach Mohg's arena. You will likely encounter several challenging Blood-based enemies.
