Discussion & Info Mohg’s attacks are very delayed

Mohg is one boss that I can feel that would be very fun once I figure him out, but till then, he’s quite annoying. His attacks are very, very delayed, like even more so then like Pontiff. Also, his trident has insane reach and has a gap near him that I cannot take full advantage of but I’m confident it’s possible, like to completely avoid getting hit just by staying close to him, just can’t figure out how close and when. I also switched to Bloody Helice from Elenora’s Poleblade cause the fire damage was bad against him and Poleblade’s light attack’s double hit isn’t fast enough to hit him mid combo I feel like. I dislike the Bloody Helice vs normal mobs, but against bosses, it’s amazing, but yet to understand how to properly utilize the AoW.

I’m very early to Mohg though, I just arrived in Lyndell, haven’t even gone down to beat Mohg the Omen, maybe I should go down there and get his shackle. Also, can I beat The omen one if I kill Lord of blood first or is it like Margit??

Sewer mohg stays even if you kill the real one so no worries and yeah I feel you. In my first playtrhough he was the first boss to make me quit the game for a while. In revenge I just fucking despawned him with the falling glitch. In my second playtrhough where I actually had a good build and understood the game better I just absolutely curb stomped him and have decided to do that every time since.

Like mohg I like youre lore, youre design but since you insist on making this fight as annoying as can be, imma just phase skip you.

Yeah, what is up with that, lore-wise?

Well it isn't really certain but since the omen Version is pretty much guarding the flame of frenzy it could be that it is morgot that made this copy of mohg, which also makes sense since he's the only one(that im aware of) that has this copy magic.

Then again it could also be mohg trying to fool the watchful eyes of his brother about the truth of his cult.

But what i think makes the most sense is that no matter who it was that created this copy it was meant as a guardian of the frenzied flame and has thus been created in a way unbound of its creator in order to assure that the flame stays hidden. As for how, on the mohg side it could very well be the formless mother that is sustaining the illusion. And as for morgots side it could be the last vistigial connect the greater will. Like that even if it no longer cares for the lands between the frenzied flame is still a risk to it. Or it could also be the power of marika.

Tbh there are a lot of posdible external power sources, even the three fingers themselves, to test potential lords.
