The allure of Great Runes in Elden Ring is undeniable. These powerful artifacts, fragments of the shattered Elden Ring itself, offer immense boons to those who wield them. Amongst these, Mohg’s Great Rune stands as a testament to the Lord of Blood’s dark power. This guide will walk you through the location and benefits of this potent rune.

Where is Mohg’s Great Rune?

Mohg’s Great Rune is acquired by defeating Mohg, Lord of Blood, at the end of the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum. This location is an optional area accessible through various methods, but it requires a considerable time investment and battle prowess to reach and conquer.

Journey to the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum

Reaching Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum is no easy feat, and you have two primary routes:

Varre’s Questline: This is arguably the most common route. Initiating and progressing through White Mask Varre’s questline is crucial. This quest eventually leads you to obtain the Pureblood Knight’s Medal, which teleports you directly to the Mohgwyn Dynasty.
Consecrated Snowfield Portal: For those who prefer exploration, a hidden portal exists in the Consecrated Snowfield. This area is only accessible after obtaining both halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion. The portal is located in the western part of the Consecrated Snowfield, amidst a blood-soaked area guarded by a powerful enemy.

Confronting Mohg, Lord of Blood

Once inside Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum, navigate the treacherous paths filled with Albinaurics and Sanguine Nobles. The path eventually culminates in a grand arena where you face Mohg, Lord of Blood. This fight is challenging, requiring careful timing and strategic use of resources. Mohg is vulnerable to Bleed and Physical attacks, so plan your build accordingly. An invaluable item for this fight is Mohg’s Shackle, which can be found in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds beneath Leyndell. This shackle can temporarily restrain Mohg, giving you a crucial advantage.

Activating the Great Rune

After defeating Mohg, you will obtain his Great Rune. To activate its power, you must travel to the Divine Tower of East Altus. Thankfully, this is the same tower used to activate Morgott’s Great Rune, simplifying the process. The Divine Tower is accessible from the Capital Outskirts via a bridge guarded by two Tree Sentinels. Once inside the tower, ascend to the top and interact with the Two Fingers to imbue the Great Rune with its power. Remember to use a Rune Arc to temporarily activate the Great Rune’s effect after equipping it at a Site of Grace.

The Power of Blood: Mohg’s Great Rune Benefits

Mohg’s Great Rune provides a unique and powerful effect: Blessing of Blood. This effect grants the player a powerful healing ability whenever summoned spirits defeat enemies. Specifically, the player will recover 10% of their maximum HP whenever a blessed spirit achieves a kill.

Strategic Use of Blessing of Blood

The Blessing of Blood is particularly useful for builds that rely heavily on spirit summons. It allows players to sustain themselves in prolonged battles, providing a constant source of healing. Consider using durable or high-damage spirit ashes to maximize the healing potential. Strong candidates include the Black Knife Tiche, Lhutel the Headless, or even a well-equipped Mimic Tear. This Great Rune works in open-world scenarios, too, where you’re constantly facing groups of enemies.
