The 5 Secrets Of The Power Of The Blood Lord Nightreign: How To Get The 30% Attack Boost
The Power of the Blood Lord is one of the most devastating and sought-after passive abilities in the current meta of Elden Ring: Nightreign, a popular and extensive rework of the Lands Between. As of December 21, 2025, this unique weapon effect remains a cornerstone for high-damage Arcane and Blood Loss builds, offering a massive, temporary increase to your overall attack power that can melt even the toughest bosses in the *Nightreign* mod, including those found in *The Forsaken Hollows* DLC content.
The true strength of this power lies in its simplicity and sheer magnitude: it is a passive buff that synergizes perfectly with the core mechanic of the Bloodflame arts. Understanding its source, its mechanics, and the best ways to maximize its proc condition is essential for any Nightfarer looking to dominate the game’s challenging new encounters and defeat the Primordial Nightlord, Heolstor.
The Source: Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear and the Lord of Blood
The Power of the Blood Lord is not a standalone spell or a standard Ash of War. Instead, it is a Unique Weapon Effect permanently attached to a single, legendary weapon: the Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear. This great spear is a direct echo of the power wielded by its namesake, Mohg, Lord of Blood, one of the most infamous and accursed Omen in the game's lore.
The weapon itself is a formidable choice, scaling primarily with Strength (B), Dexterity (C), and Arcane (C). The Arcane scaling is the key, as it directly governs the weapon’s ability to inflict the Blood Loss status effect—the very condition required to activate the devastating power.
The Lord of Blood's Sinister Legacy in Nightreign
Mohg, the source of this power, is a Night Boss in *Nightreign*, often found in the deep, forsaken hollows that mirror the original Mohgwyn Palace. His combat style revolves around the terrifying Bloodflame magic and wide-reaching melee attacks. The lore of *Nightreign* suggests that Mohg's cursed blood is a corrupting force, a dark counter to the power of the Nox and the Carian royal family. Defeating the Lord of Blood is the only way to obtain the Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear, making it a true testament to a Nightfarer's skill.
Interestingly, Mohg himself possesses a version of this power, where blood loss in his vicinity increases *his* attack power, particularly during his infamous Bloodboon Ritual (Nihil!) attack. This symmetry highlights the dark, vampiric nature of the power you seek to claim.
The Core Mechanic: A 30% Attack Power Increase
The reason the Power of the Blood Lord is considered an S-tier effect in the *Nightreign* meta is the staggering magnitude of its buff. Unlike smaller, conditional boosts, this effect provides a massive, temporary increase to your damage output.
The effect's description is straightforward: *Blood loss in vicinity increases attack power*. The specific, tested value of this buff is a 30% increase to all attack power for a short duration after a Blood Loss status effect is successfully inflicted on any enemy within proximity. This includes the massive burst damage from the Blood Loss proc itself, followed immediately by a substantial damage boost to all subsequent attacks.
This 30% boost allows Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear builds to transition from sustained damage dealers to hyper-aggressive burst damage monsters, capable of staggering and eliminating bosses in seconds. The buff applies to all damage types, including the inherent Physical and Fire damage of the spear, and any associated weapon skills or spells.
Maximizing Synergy: The Ultimate Blood Lord Nightreign Build
To truly unlock the full potential of the Power of the Blood Lord, you must focus your build entirely on maximizing the rate at which you inflict Blood Loss. This requires careful selection of secondary weapons, relics, and talismans.
- The Core Weapon: Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear. The spear’s innate Blood Loss buildup and its unique effect are the foundation. Its weapon skill, while powerful, should be used to proc the status effect quickly, thereby activating the 30% buff.
- The Status Proc Engine: Antspur Rapier. This weapon is a popular choice for dual-wielding or as a secondary weapon. In *Nightreign*, the Antspur Rapier is excellent for rapid pokes, which quickly fill the enemy’s Blood Loss gauge, guaranteeing a swift proc of the Blood Lord's power.
- The Arcane Catalyst: Relics and Passives. Look for Relics (permanent passive items in *Nightreign*) that boost your Arcane stat or directly enhance status effects. Passives like "Blood Loss/Poison/Rot in the vicinity increases attack power" (a similar but stackable effect) or "Improved Blood Loss Resistance +1" (to protect you from the enemy's own bleed) are essential.
- The Burst Skill: Seppuku. While Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear has its own powerful weapon skill, having a secondary weapon with the Seppuku Ash of War is a guaranteed way to inflict Blood Loss on yourself (thereby activating certain talismans) and immediately boost your weapon's Blood Loss buildup for the next engagement.
By stacking these elements, you create a machine that constantly procs the Blood Loss effect, ensuring near-constant uptime on the devastating 30% attack power boost. This synergy is what separates a good *Nightreign* build from an overpowered one.
Advanced Tactics: Using the Power Against Nightreign Bosses
The Power of the Blood Lord is particularly effective against multi-phase bosses and large elite enemies, such as the Revenant or the various forms of the Executor. The key is managing the Blood Loss buildup bar.
Phase Transition Burst
Many *Nightreign* bosses have a brief vulnerability window during their phase transitions. A common tactic is to build the boss's Blood Loss gauge to near-full capacity just before the transition. Once the phase begins, a quick attack (often a light poke from the Antspur Rapier or a single strike from the spear) will proc the Blood Loss, immediately triggering the 30% attack buff. This allows you to unleash a full-power weapon skill or a flurry of attacks during the boss's vulnerable state, often skipping entire mechanics or phases.
Crowd Control and Area of Effect
The "in vicinity" clause of the effect is crucial. When fighting groups of enemies, a single Blood Loss proc on *any* enemy within range will grant you the 30% buff. This makes the Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear a surprisingly effective tool for clearing groups of the Nox or other mobs, as the area-of-effect nature of the spear's attacks often guarantees multiple Blood Loss procs simultaneously, refreshing the buff constantly.
In the challenging landscapes of *Nightreign*, where every encounter can be lethal, the Power of the Blood Lord provides a necessary edge. It is not merely a weapon passive; it is a declaration of dominance, turning the cursed blood of the Omen into the ultimate source of a Nightfarer's strength.
