Ranged Strategy

Mohg, The Omen Boss Tips
Use Mohg's Shackle
Summon a Tanky Spirit
Keep your Distance

Use Mohg's Shackle

Mohg's Shackle can be used twice during this fight to pin him to the ground, allowing you to get several hits in or cast your most powerful spells.

Summon a Tanky Spirit

Mohg has long reach with his weapon and his bleed attacks can overwhelm, so summon a tanky Spirit Ash such as Lhutel the Headless or an upgraded Mimic Tear so that they can distract him while you attack from afar. Use your strongest spells and attacks while his attention is diverted.

Keep your Distance

The room is slightly cramped, so backpedal around the room in a circular motion, while staying aware of how much room you have behind you to dodge. Getting cornered in this fight will end badly. Only move in to attack when Mohg's attention is diverted by your Spirit Ash.

Furthermore, keeping your distance will keep you safe from his bloodflame attacks, so you won't need to equip much Bleed resistance.

Melee Strategy

Mohg, The Omen Boss Tips
Boost Robustness and Fire Defense
Use Mohg's Shackle
Bolster Weapon Damage
Aim to Do Crits

Boost Robustness and Fire Defense

Since you will be up close with Mohg, it's important to defend against his Bleed and fire-based attacks. Use equipment and items that increase your resistance, like Dappled Cured Meat, and Stanching Boluses to cure Bleed buildup.

Use Mohg's Shackle

Mohg's Shackle can be used twice during this fight to pin him to the ground, allowing you to get a few hits in that could stagger him for an easy crit.

Bolster Weapon Damage

Mohg, the Omen is immune to all status ailments, so it would be best to bolster your weapon damage with items like Magic Grease or a spell like Scholar's Armament.

Aim to Do Crits

Mohg will be quicker to take down if you aim to crit him while he's staggered. Bring his stagger meter down with heavy attacks, jump attacks, and guard counters, then perform a critical attack on his face or back when he staggers.

With this tactic, it's best to always keep your distance from Mohg, since he does quick flame attacks that are difficult to dodge. Only hit him once or twice at the end of his combo string, and immediately retreat till it's safe to hit him once more.
