Overview[]
Mohg, also known as the Lord of Blood, was born of the Golden Lineage, the offspring of the first Elden Lord, Godfrey and Queen Marika, and was the twin brother of Morgott.[1] The twins were both born as accursed Omen, and as a result were confined to the Subterranean Shunning Grounds below Leyndell.[2] Because they were born of royalty, their horns were not excised.[3] Unlike his brother Morgott, Mohg would embrace his Omen blood.
Deep underground, Mohg made contact with an Outer God known as the Formless Mother. The Formless Mother ignited his accursed blood with fire, prompting him to develop powerful bloodflame magic.[4]
After his mother shattered the Elden Ring, Mohg escaped his confinement and claimed one of the shards of the Elden Ring. The extent of Mohg's involvement in the subsequent wars known as the Shattering is unknown, but he assumed the title of Lord of Blood and began quietly recruiting followers from his lair deep below ground.
After his half-brother Miquella embedded himself in the Haligtree in order to reverse his curse of eternal childhood, Mohg carved him from the tree and absconded with his infant form.[5] Miquella was an Empyrean, with the potential of ascending to godhood, and Mohg hoped to raise Miquella to full godhood so that he might rule at his side as consort and take the role of monarch.[6]
Mohg set about establishing his new dynasty from Mohgwyn Palace, served by his Sanguine Nobles,[7] as well as a band of Tarnished known as the Bloody Fingers.[8] Among these followers was Varré, a war surgeon who was able to successfully tame Mohg's accursed blood.[9]
Mohg hibernated along with Miquella within a cocoon, and had his followers render offerings of blood, drenching its chamber in order to facilitate Miquella's awakening.[10] But no matter how much of Miquella's bloody bedchamber Mohg tried to share, he would receive no response from the young empyrean.[6] Mohg managed to largely escape the notice of the Roundtable Hold, who searched for clues as to his whereabouts.[11]
A Tarnished eventually came to learn the location of Mohg's palace, where he had hidden alongside the stolen Miquella. When the Tarnished stumbles upon his chambers, Mohg emerges from the cocoon, holding Miquella's hand and apologizing for leaving him, ready to confront their "guests". Mohg unleashes the full power of his accursed blood, but is unable to overcome the Tarnished, falling at their hands.

Environment[]
The arena is a fairly small chapel, with pillars on the side that can be used to gain distance.
Mohg, the Omen is encountered at the end of Mohgwyn Palace. This fight plays much like the Mohg, the Omen fight, until the second phase when his moveset is expanded.

Phase 1[]
Phase 1 is largely the same as the fight against Mohg, the Omen. The key difference is the introduction of a countdown. When his health drops to certain levels, he will chrust his spear into the air and chant, causing a red ring to appear around the player. He will do this three times, and once his health reaches 50% he will perform Bloodboon Ritual, dealing huge amounts of damage for each ring and inflicting blood loss, while simultaneously recovering his own health. The Purifying Crystal Tear can be added to the Flask of Wondrous Physick to significantly decrease the amount of damage dealt by this move.
Phase 2[]
After performing Bloodboon Ritual and recovering much of his health, Mohg will sprout wings and his spear will be imbued with bloodflame. The majority of his attacks will spray bloodflame on the ground, leaving patches of fire that last for a long time. He also now has abilities that utilise his wings to get out of range or to cover distance easily.
Environment[]
The arena is reasonably wide and open, with some gravestones on each side that act as obstacles. During phase 2, many of Mohg's attacks will cover large areas in fire.
Notes[]
- You can cheese this boss by jumping into the arena from the side instead of entering through the fog wall (patch 01.03.3). Doing so will prevent his cutscene from playing, leaving him completely immobile and unable to attack, allowing the player to defeat him with little effort.
