If you can, aim to burst through his first phase as he takes his time counting down to the phase change. For the ranged strategy, your best option is to use Torrent. Each time he applies a stack he always swings his trident to his right hand side, and players should take advantage of this by staying at Mohg's left side and dealing as much damage as possible. Upon entering the boss arena, the player has more than enough time to buff and use consumables before Mohg comes into attacking range. If performed correctly, you will roll to the right side of his head (left from your perspective) and be out of range of the electrical burst. You can spam Swift Glintstone Shard while riding Torrent, and this way you'll avoid any attacks the boss throws at you. With a +10 Fingerprint Shield, 60 Faith, 48 Str, and Flame Affinity (D-FTH/D-STR scaling), this deals 1.5-2k damage if every hit (5 total) connects, and you're protected from frontal attacks during the charge.

I beat this boss on the first try by cheesing him (accidentally). Avoid becoming greedy towards the end; Fortissax's high damage and potential for an awkwardly timed stun from his lightning barrier make him particularly good at catching sloppy play out and setting you back to square one. On my 2nd or 3rd try I managed to kill him before he could enter his second phase with just me and my mimic ganking him with katanas. My only frusturations with it are that it is not practical for a spellblade (which I should be grateful that spellblades are even practical this time around anyways) AND that the first truely imaginative rapier design taking its cues directly from historical examples was turned into this goofy giant anime thrusting sword. Going back to my faith build now. Run this on a Heavy/Fire Fingerprint shield with a pure STR build or any shield that can bleed on ARC builds and you will deal insane damage. So I went and picked these up and jeez. Started a quality build from vagabond, destroying most of the enemies after their staggered via guard counter, and then that sweet sweet critical. Sprint out of range of the first bite, and charge a heavy attack as Fortissax bites a second time. Cool dragon, badass name, beautiful arena, awesome looking attacks, interesting lore, one of the best OSTs in the series, all of that and "Legend" status and he only gets one phase with a miniscule health bar#JusticeForFortissax. I like how despite Mohg being Morgott's twin brother, he looks almost nothing alike, Morgott only really wears ragged robes but is very humanoid looking and not as monstrous as other Omens since he actively reviles his curse and sealed his cursed blood away in his sword, and seems far more human in demeanor and sane than the other Omens, whereas Mohg is the polar opposite, he is very regal looking in terms of his outfit but unlike Morgott he is not human-looking at all and is far more monstrous and twisted than his brother being blatantly demonic looking, and embraced his cursed blood and unlike Morgott who continued to love and protect the Erdtree despite being shunned and hated for his curse, Mohg instead decided that if he was going to be shunned and called a monster for his curse then a monster he will be ,even the way they fight wildly contrasts eachothers, Morgott leaping and backflipping around you while performing elegant combos whereas Mohg swats and slams you with his trident almost as if he isn't even really trying that much while growling and snarling monstrously, despite being twins they couldn't be any more different even if they tried. At least Fortissax got really badass music. It is also advantageous to avoid standing far from Fortissax; this often prompts him to either summon death lightning or use his forwards firebreath. The Nagakiba weapon can be found at the following location: Dropped by Bloody Finger Hunter Yura to the north of Murkwater Cave or in his camp near Seaside Ruins Site of Grace. Deep fry him.

Instead, manually control the camera, and only lock on to better target Fortissax's head as you punish the double bite, dodge his forwards firebreath, or are keeping an eye on him as he flies. I even forgot to equip the Dragonlord rememberance weapon, I wast using Morgott Cursed Sword on the main and Bloodhound Fang on the offhand. Im happy to let you know.
