Route to Forsaken Depths
In order to explore the Forsaken Depths, you need to head to Subterranean-Shunning Grounds. This exact place is located in Leyndell, Ashen Capital. When you are visiting for the first time the main door will be locked which works as a shortcut. So, first, we will unlock that door and it will be a bit longer route.
Unlocking Shortcut
Once you have entered the Shunning Grounds there will be a site of grace in front of you, from this point head straight and turn on the left side, you will encounter various enemies on this path, it’s your choice to take them down or simply move on.
Go straight from this path, and at the end, you will see an opening in the ground, jump in and follow this route. Take the first right, these will be the sewers. It will be a bit dark in there, a torch will help you along the way.
Just keep on moving in the same sewer skipping the first two exits, the third exit will have a bar-type door, so enter through it. Follow the same sewer until the end and you will reach into a small room with a ladder.
Head straight through the huge wooden door and drop down the ledge on your left side to the lower floor. Go downstairs and take the exit on your right. Follow the path and exit through the doors, take the left route, and follow the sewers next to the stairs.
Take the first right inside the sewers, go straight, and take the second right. It takes you to a huge room with an enemy in there. Quickly traverse the room and climb up the ladder. Cross the wooden bridge and open the wooden doors. There you have the shortcut opened. This is the exact place from where we started, rest at the site of grace to save the shortcut progress.
Heading to Forsaken Depths
Now, once the door is open, get back to the wooden bridge and jump on the huge pipes. Keep running on the pipes and head to the point where it ends. Now, jump down through the right side on the lower floor.
Traverse the wooden structure and enter through the opening on the right side. Jump down on the pipes again and enter through the opening. Follow the sewer, skipping the first two exits. Take the third exit which will be on your left.
Jump down turn back, and continue the sewers that take you to the lower side. Climb down the ladder and you will end up in a huge room. There will be an elevator on the right side. This elevator takes you into the depths and exactly to the Forsaken Depths.
Exiting the ladder and heading straight into the door in front takes you to the boss area. Here you can start the fight with Mohg. But before you do that, rest at the site of grace which is just in front of you as you exit the elevator.
Forsaken Depth Mohg Boss Fight
Compared to many other bosses in Elden Ring, Mohg is quite more powerful but it is also weak against various types of attacks which makes the fight sort of easier.
Mohg has resistance to fire, so you should avoid these types of attacks. Instead use the following attack types, standard, stack, slash, and pierce. As the fight starts, Mohg will have blood loss around it which can be used as a weakness against it. Equipping Lord of Blood’s Exultation talisman will grant you a boost of 20% attack power. This will only happen when there will be blood loss.
This boss fight is divided into two phases, the first phase ends when Mohg’s health reaches 50%. During the second phase, it will cast a spell called Bloodboon Ritual, healing itself and inflicting a blood loss effect on the player.
This second phase gets a bit tougher but you have to take advantage of its weaknesses and use the corresponding attack types to quickly finish it off.
