Summary
Elden Ring’s character designs and weaponry boast intricate, dark fantasy elements and one player has spotted a gruesome detail hiding in plain sight within Mohg’s spear. The Lord of Blood is a Demigod Boss within theElden Ringbase game, who uses a trident-like spear to deploy hard-hitting attacks.
FromSoftware’s 2022 title and its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC still yield discoveries for the community to find, includingElden Ring’s hidden path uncovered after 1000 hoursby a dedicated player. Additionally, the game’s rich lore is a staple feat in the action RPG that provides an endless list of theories and backstories to discuss, such as the true form of Mohg’s weapon.
Posted by catsnstuffz on Reddit, theElden Ringsubreddit was met with a close-up still of Mohg’s spear presented as a black-and-white model. The accompanying caption read “Mohg’s spear appears to be covered in tiny bodies. Never seen this discussed.” On closer inspection, the trident spears are noticeably layered with faceless, humanoid forms that appear stuck to the blade and melted together to resemble a dripping substance. As one Redditor pointed out: “What isn’t covered in bodies in Elden Ring?”
Elden Ring Players Stunned By Mohg’s Gruesome Spear
The subreddit community was primarily stunned to have missed this detail two years and an entire expansion afterElden Ring’s initial release. Fans shared what they previously thought Mohg’s spear was covered in, with many comparing the bumpy bits to melted wax running down the blades. AnElden Ringfan’s Mohg spear replicaalso missed the weapon’s finer, grim details, proving this feature was easy to miss, and further comments compared the spear’s tiny bodies to the Blasphemous Blade.
It should come as no surprise to the Soulslike fandom that the boss’ spear is just as frightful as his character design, sporting a ghastly face of horns set upon a bulky stature. Recently, anElden Ringcosplayer recreated Mohg’s lookto perfection, capturing the enemy’s intricate robes down to the grand pauldron. Furthermore, the community agreed these finer character and weaponry details contributed massively to Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin’s worldbuilding.
