Before players can accessElden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, they must defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood. Those requirements may cause issues for fans who have started NG+ playthroughs but have yet to reach those two bosses. For those players who find themselves in that situation, this guide details the fastest route from the beginning of an NG+ playthrough toElden Ring’s Mohg, and it can be completed in less than two hours.
Prior to detailing the route, it is worth establishing that the fastest way to Mohg is via Varre’s questline. To start that questline, players must obtain a Great Rune, and this guide will help them claim Radahn’s. That said, if a fan is already in possession of a Great Rune, they can simply use thisguide to Varre’s questline inElden Ringto quickly teleport to Mohg.
Elden Ring New Game Plus: Best Path to Mohg
Get Dectus Medallion (Left) and Dectus Medallion (Right)
Players should begin by jumping on Torrent, riding to Fort Haight in east Limgrave, and collectingDectus Medallion (Left)from the chest at the top of its tower. Fans should then ride to Fort Faroth near the middle of Caelid and grabDectus Medallion (Right)from the chest at the top.
Players should make sure to activate several Sites of Grace in Limgrave and Caelid during this step. These activations will trigger the preliminary visits from Melina, which will give fans access toElden Ring’s Roundtable Hold.
Go to Church of Inhibition
Players should now fast travel to an activated Limgrave Site of Grace and begin the long ride to the Church of Inhibition in north Liurnia. To reach that location, players must pass by the Frenzy-Flaming Tower and through the Frenzied Flame Village, and they should make sure to activate the Church of Inhibition Site of Grace upon arrival.
Thisguide to skipping Stormveil Castle inElden Ringwill help players bypass that location, which sits at the border between Limgrave and Liurnia. Fans are also advised to activate some Sites of Grace as they ride through Liurnia.
Ride Grand Lift of Dectus and Activate Altus Plateau Site of Grace
After resting at the Church of Inhibition Site of Grace, players should head north toElden Ring’s Grand Lift of Dectusand hoist the medallion to access the Altus Plateau. Here, fans must simply rest at any Site of Grace in the region, and one can be found just north of the lift.
Beat Radahn
Players should now fast travel to an activated Caelid Site of Grace and ride to the bridge in the southeast corner of the region. Fans will find a teleport on the west side of that bridge, and they should use it toenterElden Ring’s Redmane Castle.
Upon arriving at this location, players should speak with the NPC who is making announcements about the Radahn Festival. This will cause a door in the nearby structure to open, making it possible for fans to descend into the boss arena. Players must thenbeat Radahn inElden Ring, and that link leads to a guide that will assist with that endeavor.
Talk to Enia in Roundtable Hold
With Radahn slain, players should fast travel to Roundtable Hold and speak with Enia. This action will advance Varre’s questline, and fans must now set their sights on completing it.
Go to Rose Church
Players should fast travel to an activated Site of Grace in south Liurnia and ride to the Rose Church. This location is just south of the Academy of Raya Lucaria, and fans should speak with Varre until he provides fiveFestering Bloody Finger.
Players should make sure to activate the Fallen Ruins of the Lake Site of Grace just east of Rose Church, as that will make it easy to return to the location.
Invade or Beat Magnus the Beast Claw
There are now two ways in which players can continue, and here are details about both of them:
Players should now return to Rose Church, allow Varre to anoint them, and take possession of theLord of Blood’s Favor.
Players should now fast travel to the Church of Inhibition Site of Grace, which they will have activated previously, and approach the woman on the chair. After collecting the items from her body, fans will be given the opportunity to “dye cloth with maiden’s blood,” and they should pursue it.
With the dyed cloth in hand, players should return to Rose Church and speak with Varre until he provides the Pureblood Knight’s Medal. This item can be found in the Tools section of a fan’s inventory, and using it instantly transports the player character toElden Ring’s Mohgwyn Palace.
Ascend to Mohg
Players must now simply follow the path upward, pass through the structure that is carved into the cliff, and use the large lift to reach Mohg. Fans can then focus their efforts onbeating Mohg inElden Ring, and they will be ready for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC as soon as they achieve victory.
