Is Morgott resistant to Holy? Weaknesses and resistances
Yes. Morgott has 40 Holy damage negation, so Holy incantations and Sacred-infused weapons lose a big share of their damage in this fight. His only negative value is Slash (-10), which makes slash attacks hit slightly harder than normal. Every other damage type is neutral.
| Damage type | Negation | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Slash | -10 | Weak: the best physical type here |
| Standard, Strike, Pierce | 0 | Neutral |
| Magic, Fire, Lightning | 0 | Neutral |
| Holy | 40 | Resisted: swap off Holy damage if you can |
Status effects: Morgott is immune to Madness. Poison, Scarlet Rot, Hemorrhage and Frostbite all start at 337 resistance on NG, so a bleed weapon will still proc on him. Sleep resistance is higher (552), but Sleep is listed as one of his weaknesses, so Sleep Pots and sleep arrows are worth carrying.
Summons and parries
- Melina: her summon sign sits on the stairs in front of the fog gate.
- Dung Eater: also available if you freed him from the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds during his questline.
- Parrying: Morgott can be parried. It takes three successful parries to open him up for a critical hit.

Yes. Land three parries and he drops into a critical-hit state.
Can you summon help against Morgott?
