Looking for how to get to Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring?There are dozens of smaller sub-regions and hidden areas in the massiveElden Ringmap, and one of the most remote and challenging areas of all is Mohgwyn Palace. Home toMohg, Lord Of Blood, Mohgwyn Palace technically forms part of Siofra River deep underground, but it cannot be reached via Siofra River itself.

How to get to Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring

There are two ways to get to Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring:

The first method gets you to Mohgwyn Palace much earlier in your playthrough, whereas the second method allows you to reach Mohgwyn Palace more organically, after you’ve levelled up enough to stand a chance against Mohg.

Let’s go over both methods of reaching Mohgwyn Palace in more detail below.

Option 1: Progress Varré’s quest (Fast method)

White Mask Varré is a character you meet at the very beginning of Elden Ring; he’s just a few steps in front of you when you first step into the Lands Between. Turns out, he has an entireside questwhich concludes in Mohgwyn Palace itself. The fastest method of reaching Mohgwyn Palace is to complete the following steps to progress Varré’s questline:

The obvious benefit of this method is that you can reach Mohgwyn Palace far earlier on in your playthrough. You’ll likely be severely underlevelled, and the entire region will be a significant challenge. However, it’s well worth getting here early, because Mohgwyn Palace holds probably thebest level farm in Elden Ring- all the Albinaurics next to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site Of Grace.

I wouldn’t recommend fighting Mohg immediately upon completing Varré’s questline unless you fancy a real challenge. You can always come back later on! |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco

The other key reason to get to Mohgwyn Palace early on is so you can reach Miquella’sCocoonand start the Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion as early as possible. Bear in mind, however, that the DLC is meant to be tackled in the late-game, and we recommend that you wait until you’re at leastlevels 120-150before starting Shadow of the Erdtree.

Option 2: Teleport from Consecrated Snowfield (Normal method)

The second way to reach Mohgwyn Palace is to first reach theConsecrated Snowfield. This area is pretty much the final area you’ll discover on the main continent of The Lands Between, and getting there is quite a task in itself, because you need to find both halves of theHaligtree Medallionand use them at theGrand Lift Of Rold. For more information on locating the medallion halves, follow our guide onhow to reach the Consecrated Snowfield.
