The Mohgwyn Palace is a mysterious dungeon and location found in the Lands Between that requires some work to reach. While not as complex or challenging as the steps needed to reach Malenia, this area is entirely missable, which will likely be the unfortunate result for many players in Elden Ring.

Though it isn't a mandatory area of the game, Mohgwyn Palace is home to the Shardbearer Mohg, a Demi-God that you can take down to earn a hefty amount of Runes, a Great Rune, and his Remembrance. We do not recommend this area for low-leveled characters, and we strongly urge being at least Level 90-95 before trying to tackle it!

Necessities

Before setting out for the Mohgwyn Palace, there are two items we recommend grabbing that will make the actual encounter with Mohg much more manageable. Though these items won't trivialize the fight, they will go a long way to ensure you have the upper hand from the jump, and the battle can get out of control fast.

Purifying Crystal Tear

The first item we suggest getting is the Purifying Crystal Tear, which will cleanse you of Lord Mohg's curse he casts on you during the encounter. During the battle, Mohg will place three red rings around you, then follow it with a ritual that will drain your blood. This attack is rough to deal with and will likely be the death of many. However, with the Purifying Crystal Tear, you can cleanse the curse and eliminate one of the more annoying obstacles of the fight.

To obtain the Purifying Crystal Tear, head to the Second Church of Marika in the Altus Plateau. The best way to reach this church is by heading northwest from the Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace. Use the image above to see the exact location of the Second Church of Marika on the map! Additionally, if you have yet to find the Flask of Wondrous Physick, follow our guide on how to get it here!

Mohg's Shackle

The second item we recommend picking up is Mohg's Shackle, which will temporarily ensnare Mohg, allowing you to get several uncontested hits on him before he regains mobility. However, the catch here is that you can only bind Mohg twice per encounter with the shackle, and it can only be used during the first phase of the battle. The positive, though, is this item will allow you to save precious resources and get Mohg to his second phase much more consistently and faster.

Mohg's Shackle can be yours by heading to the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds in Leyndell, Royal Capital. Once there, work your way through the pipes until you reach an open area with several Stone Imps scattered throughout the room. Make your way to the bottom of the room by jumping down onto a series of pipes leading to shallow water. There will be two giant lobsters down here, one to the left and one to the right. Mohg's Shackle will be behind the lobster on the right-hand side, closest to the Leyndell Catacombs Site of Grace. We recommend running past the lobster, through the door to its right, and activating the Site of Grace before grabbing the item. These lobsters hit hard and have tons of health, making it not an easy task to obtain Mohg's Shackle.

Reaching Mohgwyn Palace

There are two ways you can reach Mohgwyn Palace, with both being relatively straightforward paths that are easy to miss if you don't follow specific questlines or explore certain areas to their fullest. Nonetheless, you can find both methods of reaching it below! Choose whichever way seems best for you as one requires you to interact with an NPC, and the other has you find a teleporter out in the Lands Between.

Since there are two ways to reach the Mohgwyn Palace, the path you take to get to Mohg will be slightly different depending on the one you decide to go with. However, with that said, taking the teleporter will lead you just outside the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance, which is where you will end up if you follow White-Faced Varré's questline. So, due to that, we will go over how to get to the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance from the teleporter first and then go from there as you will be synced up route-wise with those who chose to tackle Varré's quest. If you went with Varré's questline, skip to the "Varré/Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance" section!
