Mohg also holds a servant who is another blood-associated boss found in Leyndell Catacombs and is known as Esgar, Priest of Blood.

He thrusts his spear into the ground and winds it up. This can also cause AOE damage since it covers a little bit of land. Roll backward to dodge this attack easily.
Ritual Countdown
He lifts his spear and starts to recite “Tres,” “Duos,” and “Unnus.” Steer clear of his front and run to his back to get in some attacks, as he is completely vulnerable from the backside.
