The royal capital is full of secrets, interconnections, and bosses hidden all over the place, much like in Dark Souls, but on an even greater scale. Descending into the Bowels of the city will end up against Mohg and here's how you can defeat it.
Mohg's Shackles
A good way to make your life easier, and to prepare yourself for Mohg the Lord of Blood is to go find a lost item in the sewers. You have to go down the ladder on the right after the grace site of the underground path, then go down from pipe to pipe until you reach the bottom of the basin with the 2 giant lobsters, which will give you a bad time. In the area, there are Mohg's Shackles, a reusable object that will paralyze the boss for a few moments by knocking him to the ground, twice per attempt.
Preparations
- In addition to the obstacles mentioned above, having a lot of stamina and an efficient build will make things much easier.
- Talismans that reduce physical and fire damage are a big help in this fight.
- You can craft and use consumables that increase resistance. Using a coating for your weapon will also help you defeat the boss faster.
Fight against Mohg
- The confrontation is not especially difficult once the movements of Mogh have been assimilated. His massive trident swings are devastating at long range, but they're easy to dodge once you understand his chain. Roll under his 3 attacks then attack!
- You have to beware of the boss's blood splashes, he loves to send them when you are at long distance. A forward or backward roll (depending on your fighting style) is better than a sideways roll, since the splash is wide. The blood inflicts damage, but not too much, it's not that you should be wary of, but the fact that it catches fire afterwards. Staying in the flaming blood pools is a good way to die in record time. If Mogh has thrown too much blood into the combat area, for example by triggering the melee rain of blood, it is better to flee and force him to follow you to another part of the room, rather than risk wading in the flames.
- Finally, Mohg has a few fire spells, like the fire claw, which causes an explosion in front of him a moment after being cast. A simple sideways roll will protect you from this.
