It ’s as easy as Unus , Duos , Tres .

The delay is over , and Shadows of the Erdtree is looming just on the horizon . If you ’re wonder how to get at the raw DLC and get stupefy into all of that FromSoft goodness , then this guide has you covered .

How to start Shadow of the Erdtree in Elden Ring

to start Shadow of the Erdtree in Elden Ring , you ’ll have to make your way through the rather awe-inspiring ( and concerningly damp)Mohgwyn Palace , and if you have n’t already , defeat everybody ’s favorite amateur mathematician , Mohg , Lord of Blood .

Where to Find Mohgwyn Palace

benefit admission to Mohgwyn Palace is no little feat unto itself , as it is only accessible via the end - plot area of theConsecrated Snowfield(specifically through a teleporter ) . This guide will assume that you already have access code to the Consecrated Snowfield , but if not , check out this guide on how to get there for all the entropy you want .

Once in the Consecrated Snowfield , you ’ll desire to guide to theInner devote SnowfieldSite of Grace , and from there , head to the localization pictured below .

Here , you ’ll get hold a teleporter that will lead you to Mohgwyn Palace ; take heed of theSanguine Nobleinvading NPC ( proud owner of my favorite piece of fashion ) if you have n’t dealt with him already , as he will spawn nearby and follow you to the teleporter if not promptly dispatched . You ’ll have intercourse the teleporter when you see it , as it will be ( much like the rest of Mohgywn Palace ) utterly dowse in stock .

Once there , you ’ll need to battle through Mohgwyn Palace and ensure you ’re plenty prepared , as enemies in this region have some moderately beefy wellness pool , and many of them practice considerable bleed mess on top of their typical hurt . You ’ll be head for thebig destroy structureall unhorse up and pretty , which is where you ’ll confront off against the namesake of this rottenly sticky locale , the one and only Mohg , Lord of Blood .

How to Defeat Mohg, Lord of Blood

Mohg is quite the tricky boss and one of the few in the secret plan to have multiple shroud mechanics to his conflict . you may happen guides on items relevant to these mechanics here and here , but for the sake of this guide , we ’ll take over you already have bothMohg ’s Shackleand thePurifying Crystal Tear .

You ’ll require to use Mohg ’s Shackle from your quick slots if you require a present moment to heal or want to take a prospect to do some extra hurt , and you ’ll require to employ the Purifying Crystal Tear ( mixed with any other rent of your choice)as his stage shift key car-mechanic begins . time wise , I ’d hint using it right around the prison term he says " NIHIL ! " for the first time . Trust me , you wo n’t neglect it .

The Purifying Crystal Tear is the big one here , as it negates his phase - duty period grease monkey , in which he will consider and then aerate an unavoidable serial publication of damage tick , which might either kill you outright or drain you of those ever - precious Crimson Tear flasks .

Mohg tends to make some rather big sweeping attack , so if at any point you see him back up and take to the sky , go on the defensive and move around plenty to hear and avoid him . Side rolls are your friend in these situations . He also go away behind patches of Bloodflame on certain attack , so be measured not to captivate any , as this cause some really cruddy hurt over time and causes Bleed buildup . Bleed will dead annihilate your health pond , so watch out .

I ’d suggest going heavily on the offensive in his first phase , as his Phase 2 move set can be wildly unpredictable . This means , ideally , you desire to be in it for as little time as possible so he does n’t get into you down . He has a wide range of attack , some of which have very little telegraphing . One of the worst is his Bloodflame Talons attack , which has him doing a very quick slash followed by an detonation . Getting the timing down for this one is authoritative , as you ’ll call for to roll rearward the 2nd it pops up .

One other attack of note is the one in which he slams his lance into the ground and ride it around a bit . This one can be punished , albeit with some considerable risk . You ’ll need to prove rolling into him here and then hitting him in his back whilst he ’s stuck like a muppet .

Once Mohg is dealt with , you ’ll need to make your way to the back of the arena and interact with the deal protrude from the cocoon ( poor Miquella ) to gain ground accession to the new DLC area , The Land of Shadow . And do n’t worry ; you ’re gratis to rejoin toThe Lands Betweenat will , even after starting the DLC . ( But it might be best to ensure you ’re prepared for whatever may wait on the other side before starting . ) Best of luck on your change of location through this new locale !
