What Happens To Mohg In Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree

sheds new light on characters from the base game. In most cases, revelations about characters in the DLC don't fundamentally change the character or justify their actions, even if it might result in feeling more sympathy for them. However, there's one instance where the perception of a character is completely different with the additional lore from the DLC.

In order to enter the Realm of Shadow, the Tarnished needs to kill two specific bosses: Mohg and Radahn. Then, they'll be able to speak with Needle Knight Leda and use Miquella's cocoon to travel to the new area. At first, it seems like killing Mohg, Lord of Blood is due to the placement of Miquella's cocoon, and he's simply in the way. However, the reasoning behind Mohg’s death goes far deeper.

takes place afterMohg has stolen Miquella's cocoon from its place in the Haligtree, ending any chance it had of becoming a replacement for the Erdtree that isn't tied to the Golden Order. Because of those actions, Mohg appears to be a villain, especially when NPCs around the Haligtree talk about Miquella with praise and hope for the future with this new tree. Since Mohg has removed Miquella from the Haligtree, there's no real option for bringing it to life as the damage is already done. Overall, Mohg looks like the bad guy in this situation.

With additional information being provided by, it seems that Mohg's actions were done while he was under the influence of Miquella's charm, which is known to make the affected love him. In reality, Mohg didn't interrupt Miquella's plans by removing his cocoon from the Haligtree. Being taken from the Haligtree was instead part of Miquella's plan, and it was because of his power that Mohg committed those actions. It was all for the purpose of allowing Miquella to travel to the Realm of Shadow and chase his real goal of ascending to godhood.
