Beneath the blood-soaked waters of Caelid lies Mohgwyn Palace, a hidden underground realm in Elden Ring where the Lord of Blood, Mohg, builds his dark dynasty. Accessible only through a mysterious teleporter in the frozen Consecrated Snowfield or by completing White Mask Varré’s questline, this eerie palace offers not only a haunting atmosphere but also some of the game’s best rune farming opportunities and rare treasures. Ready your weapons and prepare to delve into the depths where nightmares reign and power awaits.
This guide explains how to get to Mohgwyn Palace by one of two teleporter options, and what to do when you get there.
Mohgwyn Palace location
Mohgwyn Palace is a hidden underground location in Elden Ring, situated beneath the region of Caelid but accessed from the Consecrated Snowfield area. Specifically, the palace can be reached via a teleporter known as the Waygate, located on the frozen western edge of Consecrated Snowfield, northwest of the Yelough Anix Ruins. This teleporter becomes active after defeating the invading Sanguine Noble nearby. Alternatively, players can access Mohgwyn Palace by using the Pureblood Knight’s Medal, which is obtained after completing White Mask Varré’s questline. Upon teleporting, players arrive in caves that lead into the blood-filled lake area of Mohgwyn Palace, home to powerful enemies and the boss Mohg, Lord of Blood.
Mohgwyn Palace is one of Elden Ring’s many hidden subterranean locations, located in the east of the Siofra River Well region which houses the likes of Nokron, Eternal City.
Despite its proximity to those other locations, it is not connected to the rest of Siofra River Well or anywhere else in the game – instead, Mohgwyn Palace requires use of a teleporter to access.
How to get to Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring
To get to Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring, there are two main methods. The first is by progressing through White Mask Varré’s questline until he gives you the Pureblood Knight’s Medal, which you can use to teleport directly to Mohgwyn Palace. The second method involves finding and activating a hidden teleporter located in the frozen west of the Consecrated Snowfield, northwest of the Yelough Anix Ruins. This teleporter becomes active after defeating the Sanguine Noble NPC who invades nearby. Using either method will transport you to an underground cave leading into Mohgwyn Palace, an area beneath Caelid known for its blood-filled lake and the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum. From the cave entrance, follow the path down to reach the palace and prepare for encounters with Albinaurics and the boss Mohg, Lord of Blood.
To get to Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring, you need to use teleportation. There are two ways to get yourself there:
- Complete White Mask Varré’s questline to get thePureblood Knight’s Medal, and use it to teleport to the area
- Use the teleporter in theConsecrated Snowfield in the northeast region of the Lands Between
Completing a portion of White Mask Varré’s questline is likely the faster path if you’re starting a new playthrough of Elden Ring. But if you’ve skipped parts of his questline, and have access to all (or most of) Elden Ring’s sites of grace, you might just want to teleport to the Consecrated Snowfield or a nearby region.
What follows is a breakdown of the two routes – and from there, you can decide which is best based on your progress.
White Mask Varré teleporter to Mohgwyn Palace
One of the fastest and most accessible ways to reach Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring is by completing White Mask Varré’s questline. Varré is the first NPC you encounter in Limgrave, and after progressing through his storyline-including invading other players or NPCs as instructed-he will reward you with the Pureblood Knight’s Medal. Using this item instantly teleports you to Mohgwyn Palace, bypassing the need to find hidden teleporters or traverse dangerous late-game areas. This method allows players to access Mohgwyn Palace much earlier in their playthrough, making it especially useful for those seeking the area’s lucrative rune farming spots or aiming to access the DLC content quickly.
White Mask Varré is one of the first NPCs you’ll meet in Elden Ring. He has a relatively easy questline that’s worth doing (our full Varré questline guide can break down the following further) but here are the basic steps you need to do to get an audience with Mohg through Varré:
- Meet Varré at the First Step site of grace and speak to him repeatedly until you’ve exhausted his dialogue.
- Meet your maiden, Melina, and travel to the Roundtable Hold.
- Defeat Godrick the Grafted to acquire his Great Rune.
- Return to the Roundtable Hold and speak with Finger Reader Enia.
- Varré will travel from the First Step to Rose Church in the southwest region of Liurnia’s lake, west of Gate Town. Speak to Varré at Rose Church and he’ll give you the Festering Bloody Finger item
- Invade another world. You have two options to complete this step:
- Invade another player’s world using the Festering Bloody Finger three times. This requires an online multiplayer connection. Note: You do not need to successfully defeat the player(s) you’ve invaded to progress Varré’s quest.
- Invade the world of NPC Magnus the Beast Claw. His invasion sign can be found in Writheblood Ruins in Altus Plateau. The closest site of grace is Bridge of Iniquity. Defeat Magnus the Beast Claw to progress Varré’s quest.
- Speak to Varré at Rose Church again and he’ll ask you to annoint you. Agree, and he’ll reward you with the Lord of Blood’s Favor item, then ask you to soak it in the blood of a maiden. There are four options to complete this step:
- Travel to Church of Inhibition, northwest of Frenzied Flame Village, and interact with the corpse there.
- Travel to Chapel of Anticipation (the starting area), using an Imbued Sword Key at the Four Belfries, and interact with the corpse there.
- Kill the NPC Irina, at the entrance to Weeping Peninsula (if she’s still alive).
- Kill the NPC Hyetta, who can first be encountered at the Lake-Facing Cliffs site of grace in Liurnia, if you’ve finished Irina’s questline by completing Castle Morne and finding her father.
Once you’ve dyed the cloth of the Lord of Blood’s Favor with maiden’s blood, return to Varré. He’ll perform a gruesome ritual on you and reward you with the Bloody Finger. Speak to Varré again and he’ll give you the Pureblood Knight’s Medal.
Use the Pureblood Knight’s Medal from the Tools tab in your inventory, and you’ll be transported to the steps of Mohgwyn Palace, near the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance site of grace.
Work your way through Mohgwyn Palace until you reach Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint if you want to access the DLC. Your battle with Mohg, Lord of Blood, is nearby. If you’re having trouble, consult our guide on how to beat Mohg.
Consecrated Snowfield teleporter to Mohgwyn Palace
To access Mohgwyn Palace using the Consecrated Snowfield teleporter, you must first unlock the Consecrated Snowfield by collecting both halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion and using them at the Grand Lift of Rold. Once in the Consecrated Snowfield, head to the far western edge of the region, northwest of the Yelough Anix Ruins and west of the Sanguine Noble invasion site. There, you’ll find a Waygate teleporter guarded by a powerful Runebear. After defeating the Sanguine Noble invader, the teleporter becomes active-simply interact with it to be transported to a dark cave that leads directly into Mohgwyn Palace. This route is ideal for players who want to reach Mohgwyn Palace organically as part of late-game exploration, and it positions you well for both the area’s formidable challenges and its lucrative rune farming opportunities.
To reach Consecrated Snowfield in Elden Ring, you’ll need to progress a little further through the storyline and acquire the Haligtree Secret Medallion halves.
Once you have both halves, journey to the Grand Lift of Rold in Leyndell, Royal Capital – a location you’ll only have access to once you’ve acquired two Great Runes. At the Grand Lift of Rold, select “Hoist secret medallion” (not “Hoist medallion”) to gain access to Consecrated Snowfield.
The Waygate that teleports you to Mohgwyn Palaceis located in the western edge of Consecrated Snowfield, northwest of Yelough Anix Ruins and west of where you are invaded by (and must defeat) Sanguine Noble. If you teleport to the Inner Consecrated Snowfield site of grace, just head due west to find the Waygate.
The Waygate in Consecrated Snowfield will transport you to a dark cave, the exit of which opens into Mohgwyn Palace. You’ll need to work your way northwest through the blood lake, avoiding Nameless White Mask invaders and giant spectral skeletons, to reach the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance site of grace.
If you want to access the DLC, work your way through Mohgwyn Palace until you reach Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint. Your battle with Mohg, Lord of Blood, is nearby. If you’re having trouble, consult our guide on how to beat Mohg.
What secret paths lead to Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring
Secret Paths to Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring
Mohgwyn Palace is one of Elden Ring’s most elusive locations, hidden deep beneath Caelid and only accessible by secret means. There are two main secret paths to reach this blood-soaked realm:
1. White Mask Varré’s Questline (Pureblood Knight’s Medal)
-
Complete White Mask Varré’s quest, which involves meeting him at Rose Church in Liurnia, performing three invasions, and obtaining the blood of a maiden.
-
At the end of his quest, Varré gives you the Pureblood Knight’s Medal.
-
Using this medal will instantly teleport you to Mohgwyn Palace, bypassing the need to explore other late-game regions.
2. Consecrated Snowfield Teleporter (Waygate)
-
Progress through the main story to acquire both halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion and use it at the Grand Lift of Rold to access the Consecrated Snowfield.
-
In the western part of the Consecrated Snowfield, northwest of the Yelough Anix Ruins and just west of where the Sanguine Noble invades, you’ll find a hidden waygate (teleporter).
-
Defeat the Sanguine Noble invader to activate the waygate, then use it to teleport into a cave that leads directly into Mohgwyn Palace.
Both methods are considered secret paths, as neither is marked on the map and both require specific quest or exploration steps to unlock. There are no conventional or underground routes from Siofra or Caelid; these teleporters are the only ways in.
What hidden teleporter locations can I use to reach Mohgwyn Palace
Hidden Teleporter Locations to Reach Mohgwyn Palace
There are two main hidden teleporters you can use to access Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring:
1. Consecrated Snowfield Waygate (Teleporter Portal)
-
Location: Western edge of the Consecrated Snowfield, northwest of the Yelough Anix Ruins and just west of where you are invaded by the Sanguine Noble.
-
Directions: From the Inner Consecrated Snowfield Site of Grace, head due west toward the cliff’s edge. Look for a bloodstained portal near an Albinauric and some white logs forming a ramp. The portal will only activate after you defeat the Sanguine Noble invader nearby.
-
Effect: Using this teleporter transports you into a dark cave that leads directly into Mohgwyn Palace.
2. Pureblood Knight’s Medal (Item Teleporter)
-
How to Obtain: Complete White Mask Varré’s questline to receive the Pureblood Knight’s Medal.
-
Usage: Using the medal from your inventory will teleport you instantly to Mohgwyn Palace, bypassing the need for exploration in the Consecrated Snowfield.
Both teleporters are secret and unmarked on the main map, making them the only ways to reach Mohgwyn Palace without conventional travel. The Consecrated Snowfield waygate is especially well-hidden and requires defeating a specific invader to activate.
