Elden Ring: Unlocking the Secrets of NPC Summons for Mohg

Yes, there is an NPC summon available for the Mohg, the Omen fight in Elden Ring. The Dung Eater can be summoned to aid you in this battle, provided you’ve progressed his questline sufficiently and released him from his cell in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds beneath Leyndell, Royal Capital. However, there is NO NPC Summon for Mohg, Lord of Blood.

Unveiling the Dung Eater: Your Unlikely Ally

The Dung Eater is a notoriously vile and aggressive NPC in Elden Ring, with a questline that delves into some of the game’s darkest corners. However, forging this alliance, however temporary, can prove invaluable against the early game encounter of Mohg, the Omen.

How to Unlock the Dung Eater Summon

To unlock the Dung Eater as a summon, you must:

1. Find him imprisoned in a cell within the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. This area is accessible from Leyndell, Royal Capital.
2. Obtain a Seedbed Curse. These can be found in various locations, including Volcano Manor.
3. Return to the Roundtable Hold and interact with the Dung Eater’s physical form (his spirit will already be present). He will then task you with releasing his body from the sewers.
4. Return to his cell in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds and release him.

Once you’ve completed these steps, his summon sign should appear outside the Mohg, the Omen boss arena.

A Crucial Distinction: Mohg, the Omen vs. Mohg, Lord of Blood

It’s vital to distinguish between Mohg, the Omen, and Mohg, Lord of Blood. The Dung Eater can only be summoned for the Mohg, the Omen fight found in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds. There is NO NPC Summon available for Mohg, Lord of Blood in Mohgwyn Palace. This later boss encounter requires you to rely on your own skills, spirit ashes, or cooperative play with other Tarnished.

Why Summon the Dung Eater?

While not the most powerful summon in the game, the Dung Eater can provide a valuable distraction, allowing you to create openings for attacks. He can soak up some of Mohg, the Omen’s aggression, giving you breathing room to heal, cast spells, or inflict status effects. Just be aware, he is quite aggressive himself and may not always follow your preferred combat strategy.
