Magnus the Beast Claw | Elden Ring Wiki

The entrance to the DLC was this bozo all along.

Submit

Does he have a unique chess armor?

Submit

This guy has max casting speed. Beware the surprisingly fast beastclaw cast.

Submit

Just got two great stars from this bozo? cant tell if thats on purpose, or if my game is broke ah

Submit

so you can just die 3 times and complete the mission?

Submit

still DID NOT betray the Emperor

Submit

Confirmed as of 1.10: Killing Magnus *once* is sufficient for progressing Varre's questline. If you can't kill him, you can instead just attempt 3 times.

Submit

This NPC early game MonkaW

Submit

You absolutely DO need to defeat Magnus, just tested and Varre's quest was still locked. Utter trash info on this garbage site.

Submit

he says check mate when he bonks you

Submit

Ok so I noticed when looking up how to get to him that sometimes the sign will prompt you to use a festering bloody finger and sometimes it won’t but I can’t find out why. Do you not need one if you have the regular bloody finger item?

Submit

Since this page doesn't mention it: he's vulnerable to madness. Presumably, that means he's also vulnerable to sleep and death blight too, but I haven't tried those yet.

Submit

Yes I am also so unbelievably broke I can't afford a 10$ month sub. I also suck balls at video games so I just NEEEED an npc I can exploit to get my quest completion. Thanks Fromsoft! *fart noises*

Submit

So I went offline mode because I wanted to get a second Great Stars to powerstance them on a new playthru and for some reason Varre's quest wouldn't continue until I went back online. Sadly I couldn't get my second great stars this run.

Submit

you don't need to kill magnus, but if you do, it saves you from invading him 2 more times and he drops loot

Submit

I either steamroll this NPC or I just barely squeak out a win after he uses me as a pinata, doesn't really seem to be an in between

Submit

For these who tend to jump on every sign and then regret it:
1. Spoke to Varre in Limgrave
2. Ignored him entirely in an offline playthrough
3. Killed some main bosses
4. Killed this guy
5. Checked Fextralife
6. Spoke to Varre at Rose church - got the first finger
7. Teleported to the nearby grace
8. Spoke to Varre again and he granted me Lord of Blood's Favor

Apparently the order does not matter and killing Magnus early will progress the quest anyway.

Submit

Oh boy, I can't wait for Vatti to make a 30 min Prepare to Cry video about this makeshift NPC...

Submit

what does he have on his torso? I wanna get it

Submit

Early somber 6

Submit

Just stumbled on this guy on my ng+3 run.

Submit

Found this invasion sign after giving up on Varre in an offline run, and killing Mohg.

Varre didn't seem to mind, he anointed me as a follower of Mohg anyways. Blood for the blood god, I guess.

Submit

he drops 831 runes

Submit

I'm going to keep this in mind for NG+. pretty cool

Submit

I'd wouldn't mind having more NPC that just use some good non-unique fashion.

Submit

Unless I am mistaken his armor is page hood, fur raiment, and prophet trousers. It doesn't look like he is wearing anything in the hands slot

Submit

Any lore info on this guy?

Submit

Disappears when defeated.

Submit

Found his invasion summoning sign there even after having dealt with Varré's questline, and defeating Mohg the Lord of Blood if you're interested in fighting this NPC at any point.

Submit

Not only makes Varre's quest less annoying to complete, you get a Somber 6 very early on and can powerstance Great Stars in NG.

I like this guy. Shame I gotta kill him.

Submit

can you invade him using the recusant finger ?

Submit

For the purposes of Varre's questline, it seems either 1 kill or 3 deaths fighting Magnus count as a win. I eventually ran out of fingers trying to kill him, went back to Varre hoping he'd supply me more, and instead we advanced to the next step of finding a dead maiden to get blood from.

Submit

only if he had seppuku

Submit

Ok you can invade them after completing all of varré's quest including killing him and Mohg.

Submit

Can someone do the exact map coordinates on the Elden Ring map?

Submit

it's cool and all, but who the **** found out where his invasion sign is??

Submit

Just tested: If you return to Varre after failing to slay Magnus a number of times, you'll still be given the Bloody Finger, and then try to invade Magnus again, this time not requiring any Festering Bloody Finger (assuming that the unlimited-use Bloody Finger takes precedence over the one-time use item). Defeated him with the Pureblood Knight's Medal already in my possession.

(Head canon start) Gurranq possibly fed Deathroot to Magnus (and became his champion), in order to hunt and spite Mohg's followers. (head canon over)

Submit

Can the recusant finger invade magnus?

Submit

They re add this and not the asimi quest

Submit

magnus the beast claw? more like magnus the deceased clod ',;^)

Submit

Whose Magnus and why are we killing him? Also, perhaps even more importantly, why does he look like just some random hobo and not a badass Tarnished warrior worthy of such a lofty title? Why not have him wear one of the unreleased armor sets, or perhaps even the Beast Champion set? Have him be Bernahl’s unnamed brother or something.

Anyway, no more mandatory PvP to advance an NPC quest, disregard everything I said above. 10/10, Miyazaki has done it again.

Submit

Oh? So can you get 2 Great Stars in a single play through now?

Submit

We've been waiting for this opportunity for a bit too long.

Submit

Nice

Submit

Thank you

Submit

Great star chad

Submit

Husbando

Submit

What is his armor

Submit

the call him the beast claw beclaws his toenails so sharp oo ouch!

Submit

Best part of the update for pve and offline. Also for pvp it gives you a second great stars per playthrough! Such a good addition.

Submit

Went for him on my NG+1 file where I killed Varré right away in Limgrave, invasion sign was there.

Submit

Is it possible to fight him while online? I hate invasions but I like having messages and bloodstains around

Submit

brador moment

Submit

Can you invade even after completing varres quest?

Submit

Magnus is one of the remaining worshippers of Serosh, Lord of Beasts, who went to become King Godfrey's Regent.

Where does this information come from?

Submit

New NPC added August 2022, patch 1.06.

Submit

I think it's so awesome that they just straight up added extra invader NPC's so you wouldn't have to pay money on consoles just to do multi-player to progress Varre's questline

Submit

its mohgin time

Submit

is it available if i already did the quest?

Submit

Finally!

Submit

Yoooo does this mean we can get TWO great stars in ng?
