I still can't believe that Mohg was originally designed to be a generic boss that we would encounter in various places, I must thank UA-camr Zullie the Witch for discovering all this. His model name in the source code is 'GreaterDemon,' and he has a loadlist for places like Murkwater Catacombs, Raya Lucaria Academy, Gelmir and Auriza Hero's Grave. I imagine the developers looking at the ''Greater Demon'' and saying ''Damn, the final design of this Boss is too good to be a regular enemy, we should give him a story and a deeper context.'' It's like when you create something for a purpose but you end up liking the design so much that if or if you should put it in a more relevant place, the source code reveals that in the fight with Malenia, Miquella originally had dialogues during her sister's phase change - "My dear twin, accept this gift "A gift of abundance, my last drop of dew. Let all things flourish, whether graceful, or malignant." So Mogh and his entire story and context were added very late in the development of the game to the point that just to add Mohg and his story they had to throw out a lot of things that were already programmed and ready. I have no doubt that the developers at some point looked at the Greater Demon model and thought it was so good that they ended up turning it into the Mohg that we all know.
What a magnificent boss. Just outright a Villain, not a Hero that fell from Grace, nor a righteous guy on his own Quest, but a Villain through and through. Rare Occasion in Souls Games. Edit: Dear Mogh, I would like to apologize from the very bottom of my heart. I wronged you severely by calling you a villain when you were, in fact, not a villain and merely controlled by Miquella. You were not a Villain, just another unfortunate Victim.
To be fair, it’s not necessarily his fault he became such an evil person. Being born an omen would surely fuck with your head pretty badly, along with being pretty much outcasted by your entire family. And of course he was also manipulated by the formless mother. I think all things combined just turned him absolutely irredeemably wicked.
He's slightly tragic in the sense that he never had any other option other than to be a villain. Unlike morgott he seemed like a completely neglected child that no one even acknowledged he existed until he was noticed by the mother of blood, but by that time he had already fell completely into the deep end.
I think the only other instance I can think of a true villian was Sulyvahn back in DS3. He had a lust for power iirc and helped Aldrich take over Irithyll and Anor Londo
I almost want to respect Mohg because he was given literally no chance. No possibility of happiness or love or respect. But instead of succumbing to the shame and disgrace of his situation (like his brother Morgott), he found joy and purpose in the very thing that was supposed to be his ultimate setback. But then he decided to screw it all up by being a chomo psychopath, so yeah screw him
I let my mom (who’s a music major) give a listen to this. Eerily enough, she described this piece as : “Dark, elegant, royal. As if I was unwillingly embroiled in a duet with a mastermind.” Never thought someone would describe my fight with this huge bastard a “duet” lmao
you should let her listen to Bloodborne's soundtrack. A far more impressive selection of tracks than what Elden Ring has to offer. Ludwig, the Holy Blade is probably the best track in the game imo
@@glasoni Funny you’d say that, actually! She’s a connoisseur of game OSTs, and I remember that her all-time-favorite musical compositions in a video game are (in no particular order) - Lady Maria - Ludwig, The Holy Blade - Sister Friede’s phase 1 (from Dark Souls 3)
I disagree. The second phase complements the first incredibly well. It becomes far more hubristic, insecure, showy - layers of baroque sophistication being peeled back to reveal a purely desperate and operatic evil.
The all-knowing approves There's unused voicelines of mohg counting down from six in Latin (sex, quinque, quattor, tres, duo, unus) and just imagines full healthbar phase 1 and 2
I’m glad to have attracted the gaze of the All-Knowing! And yes, I think there’s a reason they cut out the Latin 6-4. It’d be pretty memeable if left in…
I mean, you basically are. Mohg is considered the epitome of evil in Elden Ring lore, his blood magic is quite literally fueled by the outer gods, as he just slashes into their bodies to steal blood from and weaponize. He has no reason to be evil, he literally just is.
@@allthenamesiwantedweretaken I beg to differ to some degree, man. He was born an omen like his twin Morgott, and his shackle description says that he was confined (possibly on the sewers of Leyndell with the rest of the omen). Because of this, I believe that it could be that Mogh grew resentful of the Golden Order and that's why he's trying to usher an age of blood with Miquella as his puppet.
@@lauriewalters6837 Most are fueled by the outer gods in supernatural, cosmic or indirect ways. Mohg's blood magic is fueled *directly* from the outer gods. Straight up, the blood he throws at you in his fight is the literal blood of the outer gods.
@@Uncle_Mau that just the origin of it, he is still the most evil being regardless, kidnapping Miquella, the white masks and killing and corrupting the Lands Between are still his doing. Funny mustache guy wanted to be a painter, he still was the cause of a world war.
He looks like Ganon. Like, link to the past and 4 swords adventure Ganon. Also, fun fact, his lowest resistance is blood. Lord of blood is weak to blood.
His weakness is a trap. He gets a damage/defense buff if bleed occurs anywhere near him, this applies to you, any and all summons near him, and himself.
@@Guyy_1 Godricks theme sounds most similiar to a BB song out of all the ER songs. Very similar signatures and instruments and also happens to have a waltz mixed over the main Godrick theme(Just like the waltz from Ludwig the holy blade).

soulsborne has the habit of making our enemies not always bad so that everything becomes even sadder... but Mogh, the music itself expresses it well, he is evil, real evil
@@lilostich_ Exactly. Usually it feels like your being an asshole or doing something you probably shouldn't be doing. But with Mogh your doing the Universe a service.
I shot this guy with a giant fuck-off magic laser while he was just standing there counting down in latin. I still have NO clue what his moveset is cause I killed him before he finished counting.
Love the music, and love the fight. But his character has George Martin written all over it. I swear everyone he writes (almost) is either incestual, pedophilic, or an outright ripoff.

Well now hes not optional anymore
And now he's the best of all the Demigods, officially. I don't have to be afraid of expressing that he's my favourite of the lot. Not anymore.

I love how it sounds like a demented ballroom waltz. Kinda makes me wanna dance with Mohg a bit before fighting lmao
Same feeling with phase 2 Ludwig
I got the same sensation from Gael, Maria, and oddly enough, phase 1 Godfrey. I think something about their moves just has a nice rhythm to it.
The fight you have with him is the dance, the dance of blood
I used to hate mohg...but then I learned his patterns. No bloodhound step. Just me and him.... *In a dance of death...*
TRES , DUO , UNUS , TRES , DUO , UNUS , ...
Best soundtrack in the game , without a doubt
idk man Radagon's theme makes me feel ''a kind of way'' but Mohg's theme is fantastic too yes.
rykard, godskin, radagon, godrick, mogh and godfrey have the best soundtrack
Weird way to say godfrey theme
yes in it own way
Maliketh too
1:07 part is truly epic, incredible choir
best part fr fr
1:04 more like, and the opening violin
That's what got me into liking this OST
I let my mom (who’s a music major) give a listen to this.
Eerily enough, she described this piece as :
“Dark, elegant, royal. As if I was unwillingly embroiled in a duet with a mastermind.”

- Lady Maria
- Ludwig, The Holy Blade
- Sister Friede’s phase 1 (from Dark Souls 3)
The second phase theme does sound like a waltz, something perfect for a duet. The composers knew exactly what they were doing.
Just leaving my comment here to fanboy at how adept and genuine of a description of this piece is. I agree 100%
Holy shit, your mom predicted the entire dlc
Latin Mohg: Tres, Deus, Unus, NIHIL, NIHIL , NIHIL
Latin- American Mohg: Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro, BEEP BEEP **Carcacha starts playing**
OMG 😭i laughed at this for 2 minutes straight
Latino Mohg
bruhh
I literally thought he was saying Uno Dos Tres KNEEL KNEEL KNEEL, the whole time
@@wrcz Latohg
I love his devilish harpsichord.
POV: you're fighting for your god damn life.
POV: You’re getting anNHILated
POV: You see him stop attacking...
*...but you have two blood circles around you.*
I personally think that first phase is much better, more consistent, and second one is more chaotic and particularly without rhythm.
Same. The demented air of a royal mastermind that the first phase evokes is unmatched, a total masterpiece
I disagree. The second phase complements the first incredibly well. It becomes far more hubristic, insecure, showy - layers of baroque sophistication being peeled back to reveal a purely desperate and operatic evil.
@@fernhausluv44 Agreed, he is actually a very formulaic boss, very consistent.
Truly sadistic music yet excellent
*_“Trēs! Duo! Ūnus!”_*

@@collinquirk *¡SEX!*
Of all words they could've made Mohg say...
I could see him counting from 6 to 1 and doing the triple nihil after his health hits 0. Would definitely give the fight some much needed difficulty.
You manage to get some of his health down and he just screams with his whole chest, "SEX."
Why is that choir part shortly after 1:16 so, so beautiful? The whole song is beautiful too, even the second phase with all it's violence.
Laurence would be proud of mohg
Him and Pontiff Sulyvahn
goosebumps everytime i hear and remember this amazing boss
Thanks to the person who survived 15 minutes of Mohg's first phase so I could listen to this

*YOU DIED*
I like how Google translates this hahaha
I somehow can hear him counting down in latin.
"S E X"
*dies of instant blood loss*
Justice for Mohg!
My favourite genre of music is bullfight orchestra now.
Funny how an OST that sounds bloodbornish is one of the best
This sounds more like something out of Final Fantasy than BB honestly, not complaining though. Feed me more good music Michael Zaki.

Look my channel =)
The violin on the background at 0:14 goes so hard
Technically the hardest boss in the game because you can't dodge his blood attack
Unos Dos Tres
That doesn't make him the hardest boss at all. You can also just negate almost all of its damage with wondrous physick
@@Calamortar I think it’s just that he meant it’s the only boss you can’t do without taking damage
