Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear | Elden Ring Wiki

Walls are your friend

Submit

This is actually the most L2 stick out of all the L2 sticks in the game. The moveset is slow and basic, base damage at 54 Str and 50 Arc is good, but not that much if you compare it with the sheer amount of damage the AoW can deal to both PvP and PvE. It's even more noob friendly than the Blasphemous Blade.

This really would be a 10/10 weapon, a impeccable weapon if you will... but your character doesn't chant "Nihil..." "Nihil.." "...NIIIIIIHHIIIILLLL!!!" when you get that bleed proc, absolute disappointment

Submit

This thing is still a top 10 weapon in the game and can destroy almost anything with the right build. Not to mention it’s so cool to use

Submit

so many statements about this weapon, let me make it clear for you guys:

Absolutly S-Tier!
This weapon is still top 5% in comparison of all Elden Ring+DLC weapons (measured with their own max potential builds).
Nervs? Yes, but mainly to reduce it's effectiveness in PvP - L2 Ritual has a slow and long casting time now, to fully power up/potential.

PvE effectiveness:
The Spear has split damage between physical and fire damage output - one of the stronger damage types against bosses over the hole game.
Moreover, it has bleed proc. There is literally no boss in the game who is immune to all 3 damage types, that said, you are strong all the way through!
The only important thing is, to get your poise high enough for full ritual outputs.
And thats not all, because it is a spear, you can dump your skills to zero, get a greatshield and just nobrain block and poke your a** off.

For your build creating:
Stat sweetspots are STR 45 and ARC 60, you can dump everything else, cause fire dps scales with arcane on this weapon.
Just get your poise to the important breakpoints: 51, 89, 101

This weapon can be very powerful, kinda useful or totally useless depending on the individual’s intelligence rating. I know of a few players who suck so badly with it and stick to using the sacred relic sword. Both CAN be very powerful but again it has to do with how intelligent the user of said weapon is. If you got no brains for tactical analysis and execution then you’ll suck with just about anything. The smarter you are, the better at this and most games you will become. Haters gonna hate no matter how you try to explain how a self taught education is helpful. Learning hard…real hard…for some

Submit

Awful in pvp but that's it's only con because this weapon fucks

Submit

Idk how nerfed it was but I distinctly remember one full L2 cast was enough totake out the the godskin duo with like 50 Arcane, flame grant me strength, fire tear and a damage increasing talisman set up. Crazy.

Submit

This is my favorite weapon, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

Submit

Any other particularly good spears to dual wield this with besides itself?

Submit

I’m using a minimum of 24 arcane and then using this on my stre/fth build

Submit

Did you guys feel any nerfs?

Submit

Reminder that you cannot access the DLC without being able to trade in for this weapon. No matter how broken you think it is, From didn't nerf this to the ground when other weapons got the nerf gun for the DLC launch. Clearly Miyazaki intended this.

If you think it's not powerful enough besides being a Nihil stick, try getting two of them and use the jump attack buffs. The range, speed, and damage are insane on an ARC build. Only things immune to fire damage have any problems. And for those, just switch to two Great Stars since you're already an ARC build. Did NG+7 with both of those and it was easier than NG+1 on most other builds. Nihil still deleted almost anything without a boss HP bar, and even slaughtered a bunch of those. Especially dopes like Maliketh phase 2 or the boar rider, they'll run face first into a wall while you're Nihiling on the other side. But dual jump attacks still work of you think that's too cheap for the poor weak bosses ;)

Submit

Don't know in what year bro belows living rn but this spear ""used"" to be broken. Been using it with 80 arc and the skill maybe procs blood once on tougher mobs, and often takes 2 uses for a single proc on bosses, all while leaving u open.

So yeah this now feels amazing to use since it's balanced and no longer a nuke button. The bloodflame buff is so cool and I mostly use it for that.

Oh btw this weapon is the Horned warriors/divine beast nemesis. Try it out

you're not worthy of wielding this weapon unless you scream "nihil" while using the skill

love this but i ****ing not can kill mohg

Submit

out of pure boredom i decided to use this on ng plus 7 thinking it was mid to decent but it still melts pretty well 8/10

Submit

really awful weapon all around. :\

Submit

This weapon so is goated, great for farming albinauric dudes, in farum azula and it deleted a whole bunch of hawk too, uhh and the skill buffs the weapon with fire damage!

Submit

This is my sacred treasure in my arcane build. I only pull it out when **** hits the fan, and it never fails me. I also use it to fight bayle; pierce damage + long range means juicy hits on that big ass roasted chicken.




Long live the dynasty

Submit

Up there among the coolest weapons in the game. It's already cool like that but imagine if after using the skill, a pair of wings appeared on ur back like mohg's, and they let u do some flying attacks on the running heavy for like a minute.





long live the dynasty

Submit

Would've been cool if the R2s were sweeps and the AoW buff made them spray blood.

Submit

How is this comment section so much more civilized than the Blasphemous Blade's

Submit

genuinely switched from dex to strength just for this weapon, goated.

whats with lord of blood liking the fire so much he is resistant to fire his weapon deals fire damage he hurls fire that makes you bleed everywhere hell why not call him a lord of fire insted

Submit

Might get some flack for this but I think it should’ve had a stance based aow. The r2 being bloodboon and r1 being that move Mohg does where he thrusts the spear at you and then spins it super quickly spraying bloodflame.

Submit

Oh...

The scaling...

It's CDC (Center of Disease Control)...

Was it supposed to control an area with this, or was it supposed to control all the tryhards who wants to approach you with Pata?

Submit

Such a beautiful weapon. Long live the dynasty!

Submit

This weapon made me a nihilist.

Submit

This weapon is so strong, worth respeccing into arcane for. You can use R1 while using a shield like all spears, and the skill is extremely strong in PVE and is great for killing multiple mobs.

Submit

Just solo'd Malenia NG+7 with this, bloodboon only. 99 arcane, shard of Alexander, fire scorpion charm, white mask, lord of bloods exaltation, golden vow, flame grant me strength, bloodsucking cracked tear, flame-shrouding cracked tear, and seppeko to activate blood loss. Pure cheese destruction.

When I was testing this stack on the putrid avatar it was doing over 10k damage on the first Nihil. Weak to fire, but still.

Submit

Imagine if it had a weird dance to buff your attacks, instead of stabbing the air to get Bleed on nearby enemies...

Submit

Ahhh, the bayle destroyer

Submit

I struggle to notice the nerf, honestly, even without proccing bleed the L2 is still an "everything dies" button.

And if it doesn't work, impaling the hell out of whatever survived works just fine with that huge range.

Submit

Fun fact, the AOW (without any upgrade) is powerful enough to break the chains of trolls pulling carriages. Hence ...they run after you ! Didn't even know those chains are breakable, was just trying the weapon at waypoint ruins as usual.

Submit

Ok if you use a strength/arcane/dex build, use ghizas wheel in your right hand for it's AOW and mohgs spear for the bleed and buffs. Use armour that has high poise so enemies can't stop you from using spinning wheel on them.

Ghizas wheel staggers bosses in seconds and then use mohgs spear when they're staggered, then spam bleed.

Just so you know if you use a mimic tear and the mimic switches to ghizas wheel use mohgs spear to get more damage and bleed in.

I tried this on malenia in NG+ and I got to second phase in around 15 seconds its ridiculous.

Submit

does anyone know a good build for the base game i like this weapon

Submit

Leda's armour, Lacerating crossed-tree, Two-Handed sword talisman, and maybe white mask and lord of bloods exultation, and thats a 70% damage increase on running attacks + blood flame.

This is the disgusting amounts of damage ive been looking for :)

Submit

Reminder that it's impossible to access the DLC without getting access to this weapon. Therefore From wants players to bring this to the DLC. It's not OP in any way when it's one of the few intended unmissable weapons.

Submit

Should add 50 fire flat bonus and the boost duration should be 30 seconds

Submit

Can't do a funny little dance with it.
Literally unplayable.

How should I play with this greatspear?
Is it better to go with weapon art or pokey pokey?

I love you mohgwyn sacred spear, Aint nothing ever gonna make me hate you!

I don't even care about the L2, I just like to poke from a distance!

Just an FYI, you cannot see its true bleed number unless you meet the arcane requirement, it'll just say its minimum bleed of 33. This goes for any arcane scaling bleed weapon, like this one, Reduvia, Rivers of Blood etc. This is not true for weapons with bleed but do not scale with arcane, like bloody stars, uchigatana, scythe etc, these have flat bleed of 45 to 55 that does not go up with arcane (unless you change it's scaling to occult with a whetstone, then the former applies).
I've just seen occasional comments saying "it's only 33 bleed" or "why does mine say 33?" and thought I'd answer it here.

Submit

Can't be mad invading a gank squad of Mohgwyn cultists all wielding this weapon. All they want is a little nihil...

Submit

I didn't use this weapon too much before the nerf, but still feels really good in the dlc. Don't like it as much for boss fights unless the target is large, but amazing weapon nonetheless.

Submit

It still slaps the dlc even at lvl 80-100. Good wa, hyperarmor, reach (no - it is REACH) and blood. Also, nihil

Submit

Is this weapon still viable after the patch? Not just talking about the AoW, just overall

Submit

still good

Submit

RIP to this weapon, they nerfed it so incredibly hard over multiple patches that it's barely even decent anymore.

Submit

Shard of Alexander seems to reduce the Skill damage in Patch 1.12.
You deal more damage, from the same distance (distance plays a role), to a target without the shard.
Weird. Bug maybe?

Submit

bleed buildup from aow got nerfed pretty hard, don’t know exact number, but notably it doesn’t proc bleed before killing enemies through fire damage like it would frequently before, but the damage is otherwise still good as of 1.12. still seems like a viable weapon

Not many weapons give me more satisfaction than Nihiling the enemies that are hiding on the left/right, and above/below me. Especially when it's those Imps in the catacombs, especially if you've wasted Crimson Tears to them, and especially if you died to them. It's the player's way of saying "No, I won't be wasting Crimson Tears today." It's the "be weary of left" cheese.

When i get this weapon, every time i use it, my family will hear the following sounds from my room

NIHIL!

I did some research here are the Bleed Buildups according to my stats: 24 Str / 14 Dex / Arc. It seems that 74 is the sweet spot for Knee Healing!
45 Arc = 84 Buildup
50 Arc = 96 Buildup
55 Arc = 88 Buildup
56 Arc = 89 Buildup
59 Arc = 90 Buildup
64 Arc = 91 Buildup
74-83 Arc = 92 Buildup
84 Arc = 93 Buildup

Farming tool, boss shredder, communion instrument you name chief

Weapon art works really well on Maliketh because you can use it behind the pillar, can still hit you with some attacks but can't combo you as much.

Submit

You can use this rune level 1 with both soreseals, Godricks rune, silver mask.

Submit

maybe in some alternate timeline this weapon could shoot blood projectiles on basic attacks while buffed and have a cool custom moveset
but instead we get bloodboon ritual spam from people wearing white mask and veterans armor

Submit

issalright

Submit

The weapon when Mohg uses it:
Drill attacks, horizontal swings, vertical slams, combo that involves a variety of slashes followed by a quick ground stab, etc...
The moveset for the player:
Poke, poke, poke.

Movesets in this game never fails to disappoint.

Submit

Fittingly the spear's weapon art is absolutely devastating vs Malenia. Pair it with a bleed shield crash fingerprint shield if you want to be extra disgusting. I enjoy how the weapon art feels eldritch in how it ignores cover. It really feels like you're channeling some proper formless dark power. Rivers of blood wishes it was this terrifying.

Submit

Submit

Definitely fulfills the boss weapon power fantasy. It's also objectively overpowered despite having a very low skill ceiling and should be nerfed harder in PVP.

Submit

This weapon is cool but stupidly broken

Submit

The vertical range on this js stupid. The fact you can kill enemies and players that are well above the visual animations is broken.

NIHIL!!! NIHIL!!! NNNNIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does Purifying Crystal Tear protect you against the ashe of war of the Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear as well or is it only for Moghwin boss fight ?

Submit

Never used this weapon. But it looks fire (pun intended). Is it viable if I only go 50 arc and dex/str at base? Don't want to spam skill but use moveset too

Submit

"At 34 Strength, 14 Dexterity and 60 Arcane, Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear has 707 AR and 90 Blood loss buildup.
At 34 Strength, 19 Dexterity and 55 Arcane, Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear has 706 AR and 88 Blood loss buildup, along"
Is a useless note.
Having base STR and Dex from Vagabond + Godfrey's Rune and 80 Arcane saves you like 6 levels with more AR and more bleed buildup

Submit

hey guys did you know there's actually a spear attached to bloodboon ritual???

Submit

This fork is what you use when you're tired of Malenia's shenanigans.

In the next patch, From Software needs to update this and add a NIHIL sound every time you use this weapon skill.
