Strategies

The player facing the boss in Leyndell Capital.

There are two main strategies for this fight: you can bring a sword that has high Slash damage and put Ice Scaling on it, so it deals more damage to Morgott - or you can use Sorcery to lower his health.

Alternatively, inflicting Bleed will take off a nasty chunk of his health.

Melee Strategy

The player using a melee weapon against Morgott.

Bringing a weapon like an upgraded Icerind Hatchet can be useful because of its useful Ash of War, Hoarfrost Stomp. You can also acquire this Ash of War by killing the invisible Scarab near Caria Manor to put it on any other Slash Weapon.

Margit and Morgott are similar in many ways. You can take this to your advantage by using Margit's Shackle to bind both bosses for a few seconds twice in the fight.

If you are uncertain whether you can dodge a specific attack, you can cancel his animation by using Margit's Shackle.

Swords with exceptional reach, such as the Nagakiba and the Moonveil katanas, greatswords like the Claymore or Bloodhound's Fang, or any of the twinblades, can also be very helpful in defeating Morgott.

As Melina's goal is for you to become the Elden Lord, she can assist you as a summon in this fight. You can also summon other online players to help you with the fight.

Ranged Strategy

Tarnished using Sorcery on Morgott.

For the ranged strategy, you use Swift Glintstone Shard (Sorcery) to constantly poke the boss at long range. Aside from that, you can also use Comet Azur, which does a lot of damage but takes up quite a lot of your FP.

Bring more Cerulean Flasks and summon a tank Spirit Ash so that the boss switches targets constantly.

Do not use long cast Sorceries or Incantations as the boss's attacks have a very long reach, and he can charge at you. You can also make use of Carian Slicer (Sorcery), but this will require you to get close to the boss.
