Got her to second form about 3 or 4 times. Nowhere near completing the second phase though! Seems doable to use Mimic and kept staggering her in the first phase but that doesn't seem to work in the second phase (and my mimic usually dies shortly after).
Hopefully it's not just a case of getting gud... I've cheesed my way this far into the game.

You don't have to kill her.
You could always summon in the hope let me solo her turns up 😂

Managed to do Melania and Mohg last night.
Melania definitely the harder of the two but they are both brutal.
Probably about 10 attempts on Melania. Five or six for Mohg, the shackle and crystal tear thingy certainly helped.
Might as well go to fire giant now and the crumbling place.

I don’t remember Mohg at all, I just had to it look up on google and could swear I’d never fought it. Checked my PSN and it seems that I beat him twice? Are there two different versions?
I really need to play it again because I must have been on hard drugs at the time, either that or my memory is failing

Are there two different versions? yeah, there's OG Mohg in his own area, and a Mohg lite without the second phase somewhere else. There's an in-universe explanation that parallels Margit/Morgott, but datamining hints at a different behind-the-scenes reason. There are signs that this was originally meant to be a recurring regular boss, but was promoted to named story character during development. Video link

I definitely need another playthrough, I said on this thread the other day that I didn’t love it like I love Dark Souls, Bloodborne etc but maybe I needed to get to know the characters and story a bit more
I certainly didn’t rush through it as it took a couple of months to complete but I didn’t know anything about which bosses were important milestones and which weren’t

I think that does everything you need to know (probably need to use the crow to get the runes you need to level and upgrade stuff). Starting weapon will do fine until Rennala or Radahn (depending on build) and their boss weapons, or just detour to Moonveil or whatever smitestick you prefer

Rumblings of a Bloodborne+The Old Hunters complete edition book by FuturePress (essentially combining the two guides into one) opening preorders tomorrow... Since this is the most active Souls thread I figured it should go here

Oh thank god. Beat Mohg first time. I was on a phone call so I could not fully focus, luckily my mimic basically solo’d him whilst I rolled.
Haven’t played for ages so found the area up to him also annoying so after a few deaths I just ran though the whole area just quickly picking up items as I went.

I really need to play it again because I must have been on hard drugs at the time, either that or my memory is failing Yeah, I don't think I ever fought him either. Definitely defeated the weaker version, but the big boy one that you need to beat to access the DLC isn't one I ever beat. I may have encountered him, as the arena for the fight looks kind of familiar, but I don't remember anything about him and I'm sure I would remember the second phase, from what I've read about it. There were definitely quite a few areas I didn't get to on the first play. Stumbled into a well last night that took me down to a place filled with lots giant ants. Found a big cliff overlooking a massive ocean of scarlet rot that looked pretty cool, before encountering a boss with frost lightning. Definitely hadn't defeated that one before, as I got an achievement when I beat him.

Don’t fret for those who haven’t done him. If you have a mimic +10 it wrecks him whilst you drink tea.

I realise how much I've come to rely on the Mimic as it made short work of most bosses in the latter parts of the game (including Mohg) but it's not been enough to get me past Malenia.
After loads of attempts and trying different approaches I've skipped that for now and making my way through Crumbling Farum Azula. Might need to resub to PS+ for some backup...
Everything else seems quite easy now in comparison! Mimic just murdered the Godskin duo.

About to head into Deeproot Depths. How much did I bone myself by prematurely handing the twinned armour over to D’s brother?

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe it makes no difference.

I find Black Knife Tiche is generally a bit more useful for Malenia, unless both you and the Mimic have the Darkmoon Great Sword - twin DGS special attacks absolutely murder her. It feels like cheating!

Speed running an INT build ready for the DLC. Managed to take down the twin abductor virgins and circle around Mount Gelmir to get comet azure early. Now I just need... 60 INT!?!

Just beat elden beast for the first time. Got there at launch and loved the game but after a few attempts to running around the arena to attempt to land a hit and repeat before getting hit by something I couldn’t see because camera made me fuck it off and just started a new character.
This time it took 3 attempts, which was surprising as I’ve not played the game for a year or more before quickly beating mohg yesterday. The boss before the beast I always liked and it had the epic menu music. To finish on the beast was just weird but then blood borne did similar.

All they needed to do was let you use Torrent and Elden Beast would've been a great fight. Maybe they thought it would make it too easy?

One theory of mine is that Radabeast was originally conceived as separate fights but lumping them together caused technical issues for allowing Torrent in the second phase. But I guess this isn't very likely.

Just got to Malenia. This could take a while.. Don’t know what your build is, but try and complement the Mimic with your weapons and loadout. If you’re a bleed build, the Lord of Blood talisman gives an attack boost if you or the Mimic causes bleed and this stacks with Millicent’s talismans and the physick, so you can stack some really high damage. On strength I dual wielded the Great stars, think I went in with Bloodhound fang, so the mimic got that and I quickly swapped. I don’t bother with a shield, it’s dodge what you can or she gets her health back. It’s also RNG, sometimes she’s relentless, others she never gets going. You can’t leave the mimic to solo her though, it’s the toughest fight in the game. Level up a bit and come back, learn her moves, especially the attack she does at the start of phase 2 and see how you get on. It’s very satisfying to beat her, but she can feel blatantly unfair at times too

Apparently only 39% of ER players on steam have the achievement for defeating Mohg.
I'm a little surprised they don't have an option for a pre-made character.

Just read IGN can't review it because no one's beaten him.
I'm OK with admitting I did it via the glitch before the patched it.

He's pretty easy if you use an endgame character, particularly with the special tear and the shackle.
I was a bit worried about my main character being at the end of NG+3, but I wandered over to the blood palace and I was massively over-powered and crushed him flat. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be a terrible idea to play the DLC on +.

I think the biggest gap will be those of us on NG who will be lambs to the slaughter in the DLC. I think the gap on NG+ etc will be a lot narrower in the new content.
But like Jon Snow, I know nothing, so…

From guys who’ve played it, my understanding is that the stuff that didn’t help out much in the main game, so Faith and Holy builds, will get more of a chance to shine. So just make sure you’ve got a few larval tears to play around with.
