Morgott the Omen King is one of the main story-focused main boss fights of Elden Ring.

You can locate Morgott the Omen King near the conclusion of Leyndell, Royal Capital, where he’s waiting for you above the city and towards the central tree.

The fight against Morgott the Omen King is arguably one of the toughest in Elden Ring, and so we’d advise using some co-operation for the tough fight ahead, or even a a spirit ash summon to help you on your way to slaying the boss.

How to prepare for Morgott the Omen King

We won’t lie: Morgott the Omen King is quite possibly one of the hardest fights in all of Elden Ring, and that’s saying something.

Like Margit before him, you’ll want to take your toughest physical armor into battle against Morgott the Omen King, because he hits like a truck.

We’d also recommend using a Furled Finger Remedy outside of the boss arena.

Morgott the Omen King tips: How to beat Morgott the Omen King

Remember the Holy weapons Margit would summon out of nowhere? You’re going to be seeing a lot of that in the fight against Morgott the Omen King. One attack will see the new boss summon a massive spear, and either charge at you like a joust, or slam the spear tip down onto the ground in front of you.

Morgott also loves to pull off that dagger-hammer combo Margit was so fond of. This time though, the boss will throw two rounds of three daggers at you from a distance, before running in and striking you with the hammer instead of rising up into the air.

You’ll see plenty of chained combo attacks in the fight against Morgott, and they come thick and fast. The boss will summon the hammer again, and this time whirl around with the hammer in one hand and the sword in the other.

At roughly half health, Morgott will fall to one knee like he’s open for a visceral attack. Back off during this sequence, because he’s about to scream and emit a huge shockwave attack, and entire his second phase.

In this second phase, the boss can also unleash a hail of Holy swords. He’ll summon swords pointing towards the ground above him, and this is your cue to back off, as the swords rain down for a good few seconds around him, but will also fan out in straight lines towards the edge of the battlefield. Try looking slightly up if you’re not sure whether you’re stood underneath the path of the swords.

Finally, Morgott can infuse his sword with Bleed damage during this phase.

Once you have settled on a starting class and starting Keepsake item,

you should first work out how to level up, how to respec and use Ashes of War.
