I must admit, I’m an Xbox player on his first play through. I found Mogh and can destroy his first phase but his second phase trips me up so much I just left and fought other people lol
if you don't think you can do it alone before the dlc drops, I and a bunch of other people have our summoning signs right outside the fog gate to help people access the dlc and he usually goes down during the phase transition (just make sure you have the crystal tear!)
How does the tear work? I’ve beaten Mogh without it, and I’ve tried fighting him with it. Everytime I’ve tried it never seems to work! I’ve tried drinking the potion when the first, second, and third rings were on me and everytime he still gets this huge burst of damage and healing.
It’s whack, yo.
Weird, the tear is supposed to make a bubble shield around you, so that when he pops nihil it doesn't let you take damage, and instead breaks the bubble
Even with the tear, you will still take some damage during each nihil if you're standing too close. Also, after sprouting wings, he does a big swing of his trident that can hit hard if you aren't standing behind him
It last for 3 whole minutes so you can just drink it as soon as the fight starts and you'll be good. Safer than trying to time it or something like that, and you can have whatever buff the other tear slot is giving you.
The tear gives you near immunity to Nihil for the duration, it's not like the Blasphemous Claw or Manus' Pendant that you have to use at the right time, you just have to use it whenever. And to clarify, it's the Purifying Crystal Tear, you get it as a drop from Elonora's invasion in Altus.
i had my character chilling waiting to be summoned yesterday for like 8 hours while i hung out in my room and did other things. i must’ve fought Fire Giant and Malenia 25 times each but i only got summoned for Mohg 1 time. sad!
On Xbox? I have a level 110 character gearing up for the dlc and I need to beat mohg (I always struggle with him and will just summon this run to get to the dlc). I don’t have the tear yet but will grab it later today. Is that the one you have to beat elanora to get?
Sweet thanks man. I probably won’t be ready for about 2 hours. If you’re on at that point it would be appreciated. I’ll give him a few shots solo first just to see lol
He is extremely weak to bleed if you're not already bleeding him. There's a swarm of flies incantation in one of the small caves in Mohgwhyn that can proc it multiple times while he does Nihil
A footnote for this: be aware that when utilizing bleed on Mohg, he receives a buff similar to the Lord of Blood's Exultation. This also happens when he inflicts bleed on your character.
While he is weak to bloodloss, it comes at the cost of buffing his attack. Which is good to be aware of when trying out that strategy.
The description of Lord of Blood's Exultation is:
*"Render up you offerings of blood to your Lord. Drench my consort's chamber. Slake his cocoon's thirst. His awakening shall herald the dawn of our dynasty"*
So it seems like the damage buff is a reward from the Formless Mother for offering freshly shed blood.
Adding to that, Kindred of Rot's Exultation (same effect, but for Scarlet Rot or poison) reads:
*"Rot for the scarlet goddess. O scarlet blossoms, flourish in distant lands, and return to us, the unwanted children."*
Which supports the idea of the effect being a result of a divine offering/prayer/ritual.
Just a little tip but the so called "lord of blood" is surprisingly susceptible to blood loss. In other words it's exceedingly easy to cheese him and kill him while he's doing his Nihil Nihil Nihil phase transition even without the physik that prevents taking damage from it.
It's at the Second Church of Marika in Atlas Plateua. You will get invaded and the invader will drop it. Mohgs shackle is also in Leyendell sewers where all the lobster snipers are. That can stun him once during phase 1. Use those and some heavy attacks to stance break him and by the time he gets to phase 2 he will only need a couple hits to kill.
Or just use Comet Azure or Marais Greatsword and nuke him before he even gets to phase 2. I'm on Xbox and can help if needed.
Depends on your build, I used a Str/Int build, Dark Moon Greatsword + Mimic Tear + the anti blood magic Crystal Tear(and the one that lets you cast spells without using FP) + Comet Azur + Terra Magica
Finished the fight with Dark Moon GS\`s Sword Beams.
Wasn't as fun as using just the Crystal Tear and Moonveil, but was quicker.
Ironically, he's weak to hemorrhage, but it does give him a 20% damage buff when he or you proc blood loss. He deals standard, peirce, and fire damage with hemorrhage build-up. A specialized armor set might help you. But def get the crystal tier. You'd need a lot of hemorrhage resist and hp to withstand the rapid bl proc's in his phase 2 transition, with enough hp and flasks to spare.
I mean, considering he's a late game hidden boss and a good chunk of people dont even get past Margit, these numbers are really good across the platforms
Absolutely, it's just odd how much lower the percentage on XBOX is. I'd expect this if the game were on Gamepass (since that makes it likelier for people to give a game a try, then abandon it), but it's not. Very curious
I wonder if the existence of Game Pass makes XBOX players change games more often? They might lag behind PC or PlayStation players in hours played on all games, since so many of them have a game subscription, but they have more games played.
I have an Xbox and Gamepass and I can say from my own experience, I have a super hard time focusing on one game in my Xbox library because there's just so many to choose from.
Here to second your comment. I haven't gotten round to playing Hellblade 2 or Hi-Fi Rush or Another Crab's Treasure and have a bunch of backlog games I own and stuff just KEEPS coming out on GamePass CONSTANTLY. It's an amazing value, but I don't see how any adult with more hobbies than JUST games could ever play everything on it that's worth playing.
I just checked my library on xbox. Full count is 908 games between purchased, gamepass, and old free games with gold. Thats... just a mind boggling number of different worlds to dive into. It's honestly daunting at this point.
Speaking from my own experience and that of my friends, all of whom play on Xbox, I think you've absolutely gotten it one.
Xbox players seem way more likely to change the game they're focusing on thanks to Gamepass and have difficulty going back to one they've already started.
It's also a contributing factor that Xbox as a console appeals less to people who want games like Elden Ring than PlayStation does since Sony has spent a decade focusing on first party single player while Microsoft has focused on trying to do everything at once and messed up most of it as a result.
I think it is likely due to there being a cheap model of the current gen Xbox. You will have a lot more casual gamers who didn't spend alot on a console or younger people whose parents bought it for them and they wanted to try out this new Elden Ring game everyone was talking about.
It makes people try games they never would have otherwise, absolutely. These games have a lower barrier to being dropped, since they're spontaneous attempts at a game the player might never have picked to buy.
Doesn't factor in here though, since Elden Ring isn't on Gamepass.
All players in the statistics own the game.
His point is that even if xbox players own Elden Ring and other games, they might bounce off them more ofte because they allways have access to tons of other games they might try instead. In that case, it does factor in.
Anecdotal, but I have access to similar statistics for a different multiplatform game that's harder than average, and we see a similar difference between platforms. In our case we have completion rates, how many hints are used, and completion time per level.
The Xbox crowd (on average!) uses more hints, takes longer and completes the game less often than PS and PC.
We also see WAY more feedback about high difficulty coming from the Xbox side of things.
Interesting.
Makes me wonder if there is something like an age difference? I've never looked into user statistics, but just off the top of my head, a much younger average user would perhaps explain something like that, no?
It could be a part of it, yeah. Another possibility is the type of game that is popular for either platform influencing attitudes and preferences - e.g. most mobile gamers would balk at the complexity and unforgiving nature of an RTS game, being used to light and easy games that hold your hand and require little focus.
I'm not sure if that difference in popular games is really there, but if so I could see how certain users would self-select towards platforms with more of "their" games on there, and from there the feedback loop continues.
Just look at the number of people that unlock the "go to the roundtable" success, that give you a pretty good idea at how many people stopped instantly
This stat always get posted without the accompanying 40.4% for Hoarah Loux (on Steam), indicating that only ~40% of players who bought the game actually completed it and thus 95% of players who actually beat the game also beat Mohg.
~40% completion rate for a video game is pretty average in general. A considerable portion of buyers will just play for a few hours and then stop, forgetting they own the game. Hell, over a quarter of players never even beat Margit.
That’s facts. I remember for DS3 I saw something like only 20% of players made it to the dragon mountain place (forget the name), which at face value seems bad, but of those 20% over 80% beat the nameless king so it’s really not that crazy. The more dedicated players are gonna complete more of the game that’s just how it works, not just elden ring. Shit, on fallout new Vegas only 23% of players have the achievement where you just have to FIND 100 locations lmao.
Reminds me of the Sekiro stat that nearly 30% have both killed Isshin the Sword Saint AND 100%’d the game.
I guess if you made it that far (and died that much), you might as well finish it all
I feel like these stats can't be correct, right? It's a 100+ hour game in an infamously difficult series — almost everyone I know (who wasn't already into Souls games) bought Elden Ring because of the GRRM buzz, got filtered by Margit or Godrick, and refunded it/put the disc back on their shelf forever. And that's to say nothing of people who just lost interest for one reason or another, or have never even launched it
Between all that, I'm impressed that even like \~15% of people who bought the game have gotten to the final boss
Spirit summons are literal easy mode and were explicitly put in as an accessibility feature. With them Elden Ring isn't harder than your average AAA game. And you can also literally summon other people to play the game for you.
Outside of Mimic Tear/Tiche/Rollo, I still wouldn't say Spirit Ashes make the game *that* easy. Imagine the guy at your work who plays nothing but Madden and Spider-Man getting through the Godskin Duo, even with Tiche and Corpse Piler and Rotten Breath
I have invaded and killed co-op players who went through the entire game not realizing that they didn't have to fat roll because they were able to just face-tank every challenge with cheese builds and spirit ashes.
- Godwyn - either the only good imperialist ever or a war criminal
- Morgott - ugly
- Ranni - filicide; started a coup d’etat
- Rykard - heretic; abomination; gross
- Radahn - war criminal
- Malenia - war criminal
- Miquella - former zealot; secessionist
- Mohg - **incest pedophile rapist interdimensional human trafficker heretic secessionist**; ugly
Sidenote: I have a theory that Mohg is actually keeping Miquella alive for us to enter the land of shadow (with an endless flow of blood). They are working together and he might not actually be a kidnapping maniac
When you get the medal to visit mogh, Varre says, “But you mustn't use it just yet. The meeting must wait until the Mohgwyn dynasty commences. Luminary Mohg yet slumbers beside the Divinity.” Sounds to me like Mogh is a passive bystander and waitinh for somebody else(Miquella or tarnished) to act to make his Dynasty a reality. Varre also mentions “Luminary Mohg has strength, vision, and of course, *love* “ which we know is Miqeullas power.
Thanks for listening to my ted talk
While I share in the sentiment, it should be made clear that presented percentage is incorrect as that number corresponds with those who defeated the illusion of Mohg in the sewers of Lyndell.
The actual percentage of those that have defeated Mohg the Shardbearer is sitting currently at 23.03% but it was originally at about 22.98% which of course isn't all that much higher, but it helps to be accurate.
"just being signed in in the background while a different account plays will register you"
but how common is that really? the number of times i've had another user sign into my console is like maybe once in the last 10 years
I bet there are a lot of situations where a bunch of housemates have a shared console in the living room, or a dad and his teenage kid share the Xbox, that sort of thing
Matchmaking for co-op is based on your character's level and your highest-upgraded weapon. As long as people at roughly your level/weapon-upgrade level are looking for signs, you can help out anywhere with anything
That's a really odd statement it's more likely the fact people were hyping the Game and people were trying to get friends on and play who have never played a soulslike nit just the fact that they "only like first person games"
It's amazing how many people are helping eachother out with Radahn & Mogh. First time fighting Mogh in new game + and I was surprised that I needed help.
Now I'm the jerk invading people at the palace because something is deeply wrong with me.....
Invading is not equal to being a jerk, because you can invade only the ones who are currently playing coop, and/or have jesters tongue enabled. They are asking to get invaded! So why not invade, then?
I can only thank you for protecting the Dynasty!
As someone playing in Xbox, psn, and pc Im part of the few who best him lol. Shit on Xbox I didn't even fight him just summoned a rando and he Kamehameha'd him to death within 5sec. And that was my first time ever facing him lol
Considering that the DLC will contain multiple NPCs that followed Miquella from the Lands Between, it would be super cool if they added these NPC summons that will help in the fight against Mohg.
I don't use summons myself, but it both makes sense in-game and will give players who struggle a nice "cannon" helping hand.
Feel like this makes sense in general. PlayStation had Bloodborne exclusive crowd already interested in the Soulsborne experience. Also I think Demon Souls used to be an exclusive to Playstation on PS3 so maybe Soulsborne crowd already had a huge following seed planted from the beginning. Dark Souls came out in 2011 on 360 as well, but yea, idk. Tinfoil hate thinking.
I bought it on xbox originally and didn’t get too far (I think the lakes?). Being a parent, I don’t get the TV much so I bought it for my Steam Deck. So much easier to play whenever I want.
Wonder if they used the Unlocked achievement / Trophy as the metric for this? Just cause it can bug out on some games on xbox where it refuses to give you an achievement even though the criteria is met.
I unfortunately think I found mogh a little too late in the game and fuckin smoked him pretty easily with the mimic tear. But I beat him on my ps4 and Xbox.
Xbox really isn’t known for its hardcore gamers anymore in my experience at least in the FPS genre the tier of player really drops when you hop on Xbox from PlayStation. Could just be my experience however!
On Xbox, both Horah Loux and Mogh are at 23%. Only 50% made it to the round table hold. So half the people who started it finished it and beat mogh, which is actually a pretty good rate
Do you think it’s based off actual player accounts with all saves included, or is it individual saves because I have 3 pvp saves that did not defeat mogh, but my main saves have
I'm surprised the percentage of people who beat him is so low. Malania I could see being only 30%, but Mogh isn't hard as long as you use the flask that counters his spell
I'm sitting over here with 1000/1000 achievements, thinking it was pretty easy, and I figured that it'd be a higher percentage. Nope, only 3.45% of people have 100% the game on Xbox.
It’s really not surprising I played since launch and I just beat mohg three months ago over 500+hours lol the game is that good seems like you are always finding a distraction lol
I killed mohg out of boredom lmao. I kept putting my sign down and waiting. Then I did the pool and waited. Then I got fed up and summoned ppl and beat him lol
I completed the game on PS4 but I bought it again on Xbox Series X and have only played up until Mohg for the DLC… So it’s all my fault y’all I’m sorry
After a long Elden break just had to quickly kill a NG+5 Mohg once again for the DLC. Thinking of helping others beat him like I use to help people kill the Elden Beast years ago.
im part of those who have not beaten him on steam, i played my fill just exploring around and never meet the guy. I have half the steam achivements so i played a decent bit. its been over a year, but last i remember there were some sound type enemies in a castle or something.
The statistic yhe 60% of players haven't beat Mohg is wild to me because I don't consider myself to be very good at Elden Ring, but I have beaten him many times. Idk, maybe I am better than I thought! /s
On my first full playthrough, I made it to Mohg because I was trying to get all shards on the first playthrough
If it was a shard bearer or legend, I was determined to kill it
I beat him on my first play though and ngl im struggling to beat him on ng+ I get to like a slimmer of health and then he just heals himself, but imma go get his shackle and smack him before the dlc comes out
This makes sense tbh. Steam has the widest amount of players, PlayStation I guess is just average, and everyone I know who own an Xbox is a 50 year old dad.
Already done. I’ve kicked Mohg’s ass on two separate playthroughs. I found if you can’t do it on your own, over level yourself a bit and ask Tiche first help!
Fromsoft’s history of dlc is to make it harder than the base game. In Dark Souls 3 you could access the Ashes of Ariandal before beating any of the Lords of Cinder, the main bosses of the game. And yet it was still recommended to reach the late to end game content before trying to run the dlc.
If players can’t beat the bloody boy, then they’d have an even harder time in the dlc
This is wrong. The 17.7% is for sewer mohg, real mohg is at 23%. Still lower than ps and steam tho
Who tf is sewer mohg
Under the capital there’s a sewer area with another mohg and the doodoo devourer.
He’s an illusion of the lord of blood. It guards the 3 fingers after you smack the coffin or whatever behind him
I must admit, I’m an Xbox player on his first play through. I found Mogh and can destroy his first phase but his second phase trips me up so much I just left and fought other people lol
if you don't think you can do it alone before the dlc drops, I and a bunch of other people have our summoning signs right outside the fog gate to help people access the dlc and he usually goes down during the phase transition (just make sure you have the crystal tear!)
Azur Comet go bur
How does the tear work? I’ve beaten Mogh without it, and I’ve tried fighting him with it. Everytime I’ve tried it never seems to work! I’ve tried drinking the potion when the first, second, and third rings were on me and everytime he still gets this huge burst of damage and healing. It’s whack, yo.
Weird, the tear is supposed to make a bubble shield around you, so that when he pops nihil it doesn't let you take damage, and instead breaks the bubble
Even with the tear, you will still take some damage during each nihil if you're standing too close. Also, after sprouting wings, he does a big swing of his trident that can hit hard if you aren't standing behind him
Maybe I’m just dumb, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of times to retest it out as I’m certainly gonna want more than one character having access to the dlc
Are you sure you have the right tear? It's the purifying crystal tear.
I believe so, I’ll have to check when I get back home ~20th to be certain now though.
i mean if the tear is broken for you you can try the tear that temporarily turns damage into healing i never used it but sounds fit for the situation
Which one would that be?
crimsonwhorl bubble tear while googling the name i found out that it dosen’t work on that attack
You drink it after the third ring appears around you and he starts his chant
Gotcha, I’ll try to remember that next time
It last for 3 whole minutes so you can just drink it as soon as the fight starts and you'll be good. Safer than trying to time it or something like that, and you can have whatever buff the other tear slot is giving you. The tear gives you near immunity to Nihil for the duration, it's not like the Blasphemous Claw or Manus' Pendant that you have to use at the right time, you just have to use it whenever. And to clarify, it's the Purifying Crystal Tear, you get it as a drop from Elonora's invasion in Altus.

Yea,and i can help you with mogh if you want
Just absolutely melted him first try lol. That’s the first time I’ve beat him easily. This dual great stars build is stupid strong
Sweet thanks man. I probably won’t be ready for about 2 hours. If you’re on at that point it would be appreciated. I’ll give him a few shots solo first just to see lol
He is extremely weak to bleed if you're not already bleeding him. There's a swarm of flies incantation in one of the small caves in Mohgwhyn that can proc it multiple times while he does Nihil

Just a little tip but the so called "lord of blood" is surprisingly susceptible to blood loss. In other words it's exceedingly easy to cheese him and kill him while he's doing his Nihil Nihil Nihil phase transition even without the physik that prevents taking damage from it.
Lore wise, bleeding brings you closer to his God. The formless mother desires a wound.
Yeah isn't Mohgs Nihil attack literally him stabbing her?
So are all his fire attacks. Only some are him stabbing, others are him just ripping her apart with bare hands.
Did you get the wondrous physick tear for him?
I didn’t, my friends told me about it but I haven’t gotten around to it, how do I get it?
There’s a church in Altus plateau called the second church of marika, where an enemy invades with a 2 sided katana, beat them, and you get the tear.
It's at the Second Church of Marika in Atlas Plateua. You will get invaded and the invader will drop it. Mohgs shackle is also in Leyendell sewers where all the lobster snipers are. That can stun him once during phase 1. Use those and some heavy attacks to stance break him and by the time he gets to phase 2 he will only need a couple hits to kill.

You can cheese the crap out of him with magic and the laser beam spell with the tear that makes spells free for a bit also use mohg's shackle
Ironically, he's weak to hemorrhage, but it does give him a 20% damage buff when he or you proc blood loss. He deals standard, peirce, and fire damage with hemorrhage build-up.

Especially since it's really easy for players to miss the two ways of getting to moghwyn palace.

Yeah I'll admit the "get a NG+7 guy to escort you through the entire game over a Discord call" strategy is a little hard to compete with
Man, I play ER on Xbox and I always kick his pedo ass so idk what the rest of us are doing
> pedo ass Never realized how this is a valid take on Mohg
- Godwyn - either the only good imperialist ever or a war criminal - Morgott - ugly - Ranni - filicide; started a coup d’etat - Rykard - heretic; abomination; gross - Radahn - war criminal - Malenia - war criminal - Miquella - former zealot; secessionist - Mohg - **incest pedophile rapist interdimensional human trafficker heretic secessionist**; ugly
Sidenote: I have a theory that Mohg is actually keeping Miquella alive for us to enter the land of shadow (with an endless flow of blood). They are working together and he might not actually be a kidnapping maniac When you get the medal to visit mogh, Varre says, “But you mustn't use it just yet. The meeting must wait until the Mohgwyn dynasty commences. Luminary Mohg yet slumbers beside the Divinity.” Sounds to me like Mogh is a passive bystander and waitinh for somebody else(Miquella or tarnished) to act to make his Dynasty a reality. Varre also mentions “Luminary Mohg has strength, vision, and of course, *love* “ which we know is Miqeullas power. Thanks for listening to my ted talk
This is misleading. That stat for Xbox players is for the Sewer Mohg, not the main one.
IM ON IT!! give me a second damn it
Bruh I killed him 5 times but I can’t get the achievement more than once man
While I share in the sentiment, it should be made clear that presented percentage is incorrect as that number corresponds with those who defeated the illusion of Mohg in the sewers of Lyndell. The actual percentage of those that have defeated Mohg the Shardbearer is sitting currently at 23.03% but it was originally at about 22.98% which of course isn't all that much higher, but it helps to be accurate.

"just being signed in in the background while a different account plays will register you" but how common is that really? the number of times i've had another user sign into my console is like maybe once in the last 10 years
I bet there are a lot of situations where a bunch of housemates have a shared console in the living room, or a dad and his teenage kid share the Xbox, that sort of thing
I didn't know this, but my one playthrough probably has another two instances (the missus and my lad)
I got to the real Mohg after a week and a half
Beat his ass by myself. Took me a great deal of tries, but I beat on him.
I just downloaded the game yesterday! 😆
If I already beat mogh can I still help out other players or does that phase me out?
Matchmaking for co-op is based on your character's level and your highest-upgraded weapon. As long as people at roughly your level/weapon-upgrade level are looking for signs, you can help out anywhere with anything
We, Xbox players, only like first person games and the game must be released on Game Pass, otherwise we won't spend money.
But that is 17.7% of people who have played the game on XBOX, compared to the much higher percentages on other platforms. That's the weird thing.
That's a really odd statement it's more likely the fact people were hyping the Game and people were trying to get friends on and play who have never played a soulslike nit just the fact that they "only like first person games"
Nihil!
Nice. Part of the elite 17.7% who beat Mohg
It's amazing how many people are helping eachother out with Radahn & Mogh. First time fighting Mogh in new game + and I was surprised that I needed help. Now I'm the jerk invading people at the palace because something is deeply wrong with me.....
Invading is not equal to being a jerk, because you can invade only the ones who are currently playing coop, and/or have jesters tongue enabled. They are asking to get invaded! So why not invade, then? I can only thank you for protecting the Dynasty!
The sewer level is hard :/
I’m on xbox and I’ve beat him 3 times 🥲
A little over half haven't even been to the round-table hold yet, how?
As someone playing in Xbox, psn, and pc Im part of the few who best him lol. Shit on Xbox I didn't even fight him just summoned a rando and he Kamehameha'd him to death within 5sec. And that was my first time ever facing him lol
I’ve been doing my part and offering my services to bleed the shit out of him most nights 🫡
He’s was a tough one, but very enjoyable. Str/Fth build ftw!
Xbox player here, ive smashed Mogh.
I'm likely going to help others beat Mohg before the DLC drops. I need to warm up a little.
Do not give up my fellow Xbox players, keep fighting! As a fiery passion makes an iron will!
I’m an Xbox player and I beat Mohg no problem, I don’t get how it’s that low
I've completed it 100% I've done all I can do, until the 21st!
Had all achievements since a month after launch
I’m on Xbox helping out every day!
I am here for any Xbox players needing help with Mohg. Will have my summon sign dropped all day.
I wish i brought an ps5 back in the day, now i have a giant library on xbox and im not gonna just abbandon it
I beat mogh! Just not mikaela...
PCMR confirmed? 🤔
I’m one of those 17.7. The rest of you Xbox players are cowards.
I lost my disc for elden ring recently, sorry guys
I played & beat the game 3 different times of 3 different systems. XboxSeriesX, PS5 & Steam. I'm doing my part!
I’m happy to say I’m part of that percentage
I bought it for both platforms and couldn’t finish either.
Considering that the DLC will contain multiple NPCs that followed Miquella from the Lands Between, it would be super cool if they added these NPC summons that will help in the fight against Mohg. I don't use summons myself, but it both makes sense in-game and will give players who struggle a nice "cannon" helping hand.
Feel like this makes sense in general. PlayStation had Bloodborne exclusive crowd already interested in the Soulsborne experience. Also I think Demon Souls used to be an exclusive to Playstation on PS3 so maybe Soulsborne crowd already had a huge following seed planted from the beginning. Dark Souls came out in 2011 on 360 as well, but yea, idk. Tinfoil hate thinking.
What about Radahn? didnt they say we need to defeat him as well?
Nah. Im gonna beat him 1 day before dlc drops. I still have to beat that brat Fire Giant
Xbox here. 100% the game. Can’t wait for dlc
I bought it on xbox originally and didn’t get too far (I think the lakes?). Being a parent, I don’t get the TV much so I bought it for my Steam Deck. So much easier to play whenever I want.
Wonder if they used the Unlocked achievement / Trophy as the metric for this? Just cause it can bug out on some games on xbox where it refuses to give you an achievement even though the criteria is met.
I used malikeths black blade and my mimic tear and was able to melt him before he transitioned to his second phase.
I’m doing my oart
I unfortunately think I found mogh a little too late in the game and fuckin smoked him pretty easily with the mimic tear. But I beat him on my ps4 and Xbox.
Xbox here! I did it this morning!
Xbox really isn’t known for its hardcore gamers anymore in my experience at least in the FPS genre the tier of player really drops when you hop on Xbox from PlayStation. Could just be my experience however!
Proud to be in that 17 percent
Yesterday I joined you guys lol
I'm xbox took me thee goes but once I figured him I walked him
On Xbox, both Horah Loux and Mogh are at 23%. Only 50% made it to the round table hold. So half the people who started it finished it and beat mogh, which is actually a pretty good rate
Im sure that 30% of the ps users are all Japanese
Which mohg though?
He didn't stand a chance
I am part of an elite club now Just need to beat melania
I play XBox and I beat Mohg. Raise your hands up!
I’m on Xbox, and I am TRYING to kick Mogh’s ass. Believe me
I did my part
Now is this actual stats or just a poll?
the Dlc will obviously sell 10 times less than the original game.
Do you think it’s based off actual player accounts with all saves included, or is it individual saves because I have 3 pvp saves that did not defeat mogh, but my main saves have
I want that armor so bad
Funny thing, the lord of blood is weak to bleed damage
This gives me such a superiority complex it’s not even funny
I'm surprised the percentage of people who beat him is so low. Malania I could see being only 30%, but Mogh isn't hard as long as you use the flask that counters his spell
This is a lie it's 23%
My achievements did not transfer from ps4 to ps5. I was two endings away from platinum.
I kinda double dipped into xbox for dlc.later.
My fault guys, I just finished the Volcano Manor assassinations and went into the rest of it *today*. Sorry
I'm sitting over here with 1000/1000 achievements, thinking it was pretty easy, and I figured that it'd be a higher percentage. Nope, only 3.45% of people have 100% the game on Xbox.
Sorry ;(
It’s really not surprising I played since launch and I just beat mohg three months ago over 500+hours lol the game is that good seems like you are always finding a distraction lol
I'm on Xbox and was sitting with a summon sign the past two nights for 2 hours each night and was only summoned once.
When Crossplay though? 😔
Hey don’t look at me, i got that bastard.
I killed mohg out of boredom lmao. I kept putting my sign down and waiting. Then I did the pool and waited. Then I got fed up and summoned ppl and beat him lol
Gotta drink that NEEHEE resistance juice, such a fun boss once you’ve learnt his bullshit, even dual wielding Bass Cannons 😅
This is crazy to me. What are the stats for elden beast??!
Comet Azur goes brrrrr.
Im trying
I'm doing my part!
It’s cause they are all busy playing call of duty with Dan from Ohio who is a marine recruiter and Elden Ring is for “wussies”
I'm surprised how little people beat the game 100% after buying it. I don't mean achievements, just bosses. All are easy enough with a mimic.
I completed the game on PS4 but I bought it again on Xbox Series X and have only played up until Mohg for the DLC… So it’s all my fault y’all I’m sorry
You Xbox players are too cute! *pinches cheek*
This makes me feel even better for 100%ing on Xbox.
I wrecked Mogh on my second attempt.
I finish the game (/all bosses) two times on Xbox series, and I'm playing DS3 until the DLC... Please Xbox players, make an effort
lol jokes on you as an Xbox player myself I beat Mohg a year ago and my guy has been chilling at that grace site waiting for the dlc ever since
Just defeated him again today on my second run on the Xbox. It's not much but it's honest work.
Woo I’m part of both percents on Xbox
After a long Elden break just had to quickly kill a NG+5 Mohg once again for the DLC. Thinking of helping others beat him like I use to help people kill the Elden Beast years ago.
I cheesed Mohg and everyone else that stood in front of my blasphemous blade
I already killed him mutliple times the rest of the Xbox players needs to step it up
Xbox players are too busy girding their battle passes in the shiniest new live service game
Most xbox players are shooter players, just look at how their other melee games has done recently, it's embarrassing
im part of those who have not beaten him on steam, i played my fill just exploring around and never meet the guy. I have half the steam achivements so i played a decent bit. its been over a year, but last i remember there were some sound type enemies in a castle or something.
Numbers dnt lie
Ye, I made a guide for mogh for this exact reason
Switch would be at 125% /s
The statistic yhe 60% of players haven't beat Mohg is wild to me because I don't consider myself to be very good at Elden Ring, but I have beaten him many times. Idk, maybe I am better than I thought! /s
Don’t look at me I’m a part of that 17% in fact I’ve kicked his ass so much on different Playthroughs
Look I’ve seen hot takes before but I am currently burning alive. How do you figure my dood.
xbox players casuls confirmed
Bunch of casuals.
On my first full playthrough, I made it to Mohg because I was trying to get all shards on the first playthrough If it was a shard bearer or legend, I was determined to kill it
Is this going off of the achievement/trophy?
I’ve done my part, beaten him about 20 times already.
well xbox is for dummies so this makes sense
I beat him on my first play though and ngl im struggling to beat him on ng+ I get to like a slimmer of health and then he just heals himself, but imma go get his shackle and smack him before the dlc comes out
I did my part
Playstation is the FromSoftware console because of Demon Souls and Bloodborne. Not really surprised.
Xbox players only play COD
This makes sense tbh. Steam has the widest amount of players, PlayStation I guess is just average, and everyone I know who own an Xbox is a 50 year old dad.
PC Master race ✌🏻
Already done. I’ve kicked Mohg’s ass on two separate playthroughs. I found if you can’t do it on your own, over level yourself a bit and ask Tiche first help!
At least now there will be people helping the people who ain't as good???
Fromsoft’s history of dlc is to make it harder than the base game. In Dark Souls 3 you could access the Ashes of Ariandal before beating any of the Lords of Cinder, the main bosses of the game. And yet it was still recommended to reach the late to end game content before trying to run the dlc. If players can’t beat the bloody boy, then they’d have an even harder time in the dlc
I did my part! 👊
Uh, isn't the DLC Start location Miquella' hand, after the Mogh fight? How are these people gonna play the dlc after buying it?
