Elden Ring: Activating the Great Runes of Morgott and Mohg

As players journey through Elden Ring, they will encounter formidable bosses, particularly the Demi-Gods who present significant challenges and yield Great Runes upon defeat. These powerful items, when paired with Rune Arcs, provide substantial boosts to various stats. However, obtaining a Great Rune from a Demi-God is just the beginning; activating it requires discovering specific Divine Towers scattered throughout the Lands Between. Among these towers is one that activates the Great Runes of both Morgott and Mohg. Here’s a step-by-step guide on locating and activating their Great Runes after defeating these Demi-God bosses in Elden Ring.

Where to Find Morgott and Mohg in Elden Ring

To activate the Great Runes of Morgott and Mohg, players first need to unlock them by defeating these powerful bosses, which is no easy feat. While they appear in various forms in different locations, only their main versions drop Great Runes upon defeat. Here’s where to find the real battles with Morgott and Mohg in Elden Ring.

Morgott, the Omen King’s Location

Morgott appears in different forms, notably at the entrance to Stormveil Castle and the outer wall of Leyndell, under the alias “Margit the Fell.” However, the true Morgott, the Omen King, is encountered only in Leyndell, Royal Capital.

To reach him, players must brave the Royal Capital’s formidable layout. After passing through the city, the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace serves as a key landmark. Head southwest, exit through the door, and descend onto the nearby stable. From there, ascend the massive Erdtree root leading to a balcony with a boss door. Defeat the spirit of the First Elden Lord, Godfrey, to proceed to the Queen’s Bedchamber Site of Grace. Beyond this point lies Morgott’s domain, where players can face and defeat him to obtain his Great Rune.

Mohg, Lord of Blood’s Location

There are two versions of Mohg in Elden Ring. The first, a shadow version, guards a secret passage in the Shunning Grounds beneath Leyndell. However, the true Mohg, Lord of Blood, can only be found at the top of Mohgwyn Palace, a hidden, endgame area dedicated to the Formless Mother and the Mohgwyn Dynasty.

Reaching Mohgwyn Palace is a challenge on its own. Players can either complete White-Faced Varre’s questline to obtain the Pureblood Knight’s Medal, which teleports them directly there, or they can access a Waygate in the Consecrated Snowfield near the Yelough Anix Ruins. Once at Mohgwyn Palace, players should head to the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint Site of Grace, then continue upwards to reach the large elevator that leads to Mohg’s boss chamber.

How to Activate Morgott’s and Mohg’s Great Runes in Elden Ring

Both Morgott’s and Mohg’s Great Runes can be activated at a single location: the Divine Tower of East Altus, as both characters are Omen-born siblings. To access this tower, players need to return to Leyndell, Royal Capital.

From the city, players should locate the elevator leading to the Forbidden Lands and the Grand Lift of Rold. After riding the elevator, instead of exiting to the snowy landscape, turn to the right to find a large bridge leading to the Divine Tower. Be cautious on the bridge, as a boss encounter with the Fell Twins awaits. This eerie battle takes place in a dark void reminiscent of the Four Kings fight in Dark Souls. Once victorious, players can enter the Divine Tower of East Altus, take the elevator to the top, and activate both Great Runes side-by-side.

Effects of Morgott’s and Mohg’s Great Runes

After activating these runes, players can sit at any Site of Grace to equip them. Each Great Rune’s effect is triggered when using a Rune Arc, providing the following unique benefits:

- Mohg’s Great Rune: Grants the “Blessing of Blood” to summoned Spirit Ashes. With this blessing, Spirit Ashes gain a damage boost each time Bloodloss is inflicted on nearby enemies. Additionally, killing enemies within a close range of the player will restore 10% of the player’s maximum health.

- Morgott’s Great Rune: Significantly boosts the player’s health by 25%—a multiplicative increase that stacks with other buffs or talismans, making it even more potent when paired with health-boosting equipment.

Unlocking and activating these Great Runes not only provides powerful advantages but also opens up new strategies in combat, making them a prized reward for defeating two of Elden Ring’s most challenging bosses.
