Nameless White Mask is a Humanoid Enemy Invader in Elden Ring. They are three separate NPC invaders that wear the War Surgeon Set, taking on the appearance of White Mask Varre. They focus on blood loss attacks, using a dagger as well as the Swarm of Flies incantation.

 

Of the surgeons that were abducted by the Lord of Blood, none were able to tame the accursed blood. None but Varre, that is; but he was an exception.

Nameless White Mask Notes & Tips

  • The Nameless White Masks do not invade if player defeated the area boss Mohg, Lord of Blood.
  • Defeating the southern Nameless White Mask (3) Elden Ring Interactive Map rewards the full War Surgeon Set without defeating the other two invasions at (1) and (2). (Tested as of 1.08.)
  • Damage: slash damage 57px hookclawSlash, standard damage 57pxStandard, pierce damage 57pxPierce
  • Inflcits: hemorrhage status effect elden ring wiki guide 100pxHemorrhage
  • Can buff himself, if Blood loss happens in his vicinity (White Mask)
  • Attacks apply Hemorrhage, maintain your distance and dodge their attacks to ensure that the effect does not get built up all the way.
  • Tips for the Area - The Blistered Giant Crows and Blistered Strays are plentiful in this area - It is recommended to avoid attracting their attention by sneaking to each of the Nameless White Masks.
  • The boiling blood geysers dotted around the locale will deal damage to both you and any enemies that may pass through them - It is therefore possible to time these eruptions in order to stagger and chip away at your enemy without laying a single blow yourself.
  • The Nameless White Masks will remain defeated and do not need to all be killed in one attempt.
  • Spawn at Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance and follow the right wall until point (1). Then follow the left wall until you reach point (3). This is one of the easier paths to kill the southern invader for the War Surgeon Set and avoid detection from other enemies.
  • It can be defeated rather easily by triggering the invasion and then retreating to Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance. Sprint away as soon as it invades and hug the left cliff while returning to avoid enemies. Then climb the ruin stairs and walk up to the cliff. Wait for it to catch up to you and instead of using the stairs, it should be trying to cast magic from below. You can then attack him safely from above using Night Maiden's Mist or other ranged attacks.

        **** those crows. Was about to kill the last one and it agroed a crow that was hiding round the corner after i cleared them all out. Not going back

          Didn't expect three of these ****ers..
          I had killed two of the three back to back when I was gonna fight a crow and a few dogs, when the 3rd summoned and dismounted me into death. :/

            He is very aggressive with his stabs so spamming parries works EZ. Also this strategy gets close to his face so he doesn't do the ghey ranged spell as much. Died like 10 times before doing this and then got it first try.

              As soon as he comes up from the blood lock on before he’s completely materialized. Then unleash unendurable frenzy and he’s stunlocked while his health just melts.

                I cleared out all of the albinaurics in the summon-enabled area before stumbling into the first one, so summons were able to keep him busy while i took him down from range. As soon as I got the dismount for the second one, I sprinted back up to Gold Farming Rise, past the Grace and around the cliff to the left, then hopped up on the cliff (might want to practice first so you know where to jump up). By the time I got there, he was just coming up the rise; I plinked at him with sorceries while he stood there and tried to hit me with the flies.

                I cleared out the dogs/birds by the third one, and repeated the same deal of running back to the Grace/jumping on the cliff. As I got up to the top, my stamina started decreasing as I sprinted, so I assumed he was right behind me. When I got on the cliff, he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Apparently he got stuck down on the ledge where he spawns. After he took one bow shot, he decided to show me how a real recusant does things and jumped off the cliff toward me. Cheese ftw.

                  I'm convinced these idiots were only made so that you couldn't avoid being ganked by the million crows and dogs in the areas with Torrent.

                    You can use everything that is considered a spear or a great spear and you need a shield that blocks 100% of damage from the dagger but the incantation. Do it if you got a lot of robustness if you are doing it.

                      seriously what is this ****? Could've been such a fun NPC fight but no, instead add a shitload of dogs and mf birds in the area and so you can fight at least three clowns with enough chasing speed so you can't heal. Great job FromSoft lol

                          A lot of NPCs in this game are more than happy to trade blows with Siluria’s Woe. Take advantage of that against this guy, and any other invaders you come across. Every single time it will knock them down. Giving you time to charge up another Siluria’s Woe, or heal if they managed to hit you before you knock them down.

                              For those wondering who they are:
                              Varre wasn't the only war surgeon during the Rupture...
                              About their names being Nameless White Mask and why they lost their identities when they went insane during the war.
                              Sweeps just didn't go crazy due to his faith in Mogh
                              I would really love a DLC that sends us to the past so we can understand more about this amazing world that was created.

                                I think it's supposed to be the same invader 3 times (possibly Varre? The armor mentions him) not 3 different invaders. That's the impression I had and after I got invaded the 3rd time straight I looked on here cuz I thought he might just keep invading as long as I stayed in that blood lake area. Was surprised to see the wiki assumes it's 3 different invaders. I mean, they have the same name, armor, weapons and moveset. Why would ppl assume that's anything but the same guy invading multiple times?

                                  for anyone else having trouble using hoarfrost, try golden slam instead. i found hoarfrost doesnt stagger as well, sometimes wont even hit. golden slam knocks him on his ass after one hit each time which gives you time to either rush in or run away. using talismans or consumables that raise resistance to hemmorhage or increase poise help a lot too. remember his ash of war is stationary after hitting you once so its easy to run away from

                                    I tried many suggestions here, but ultimately, I cheesed it. I'm not proud. I had him chase me along the edge of the cliff to the other side, and when he was close, I jumped off the cliff. Like an idiot, he followed me off the cliff and I got the set from him. I hope this helps someone not be as frustrated as I got trying to kill this menace :-P

                                      Easy method get is to that lovely bird to knock the one holding the gear of the edge, just run across the ledge then into land until Invader spawns, aggro the crow and bait the attack into the Invader, easy White Mask

                                        I was having a hard time fighting these guys since I was trying to rush a bleed build on a new character. The easiest way I found was to start from the Palace-Edge Road grace, go to where #3 spawns. Stay near the edge of the cliff, and when the invader attacks you there's a good chance he may just lunge and fall off the cliff and die.

                                        Maybe I got lucky but it worked for me on the first try. It might also work if you both fall off at the same time. But in my case I didn't have to fall off.

                                              I had a lot of trouble with these NPC invaders at first, I've killed all three now though and I'm making this comment in case anyone else wants to try it. The blood-filled lake only allows spirit summons in part of it, once you pass the remains of the blistered crow half submerged you wont be able to summon, and that part of the lake is where the three invaders spawn.

                                              I got an idea of where the boundary for summoning spirit ashes was then I cleared albinauarics that might interfere and marked it with rainbow stones so I'd know exactly where to run after triggering the invasion, and it worked on all three. As soon as I saw I was being invaded I sprinted back to the area I'd marked with the coloured stones and summoned omen killer rollo none of the NPCs could deal with rollo and myself hitting them from different directions.

                                                      • Oh yeah, and a little trick with NPCs, putting shield crash on any greatshield will repeatedly throw them back and they're too stupid to dodge it most of the time. Palisade, briar, and fingerprint stone shield works best because of the status effects but just about any greatshield should do the trick.

                                                          Safest place to cheese it is up the first steps- head straight to the wall. Jump on it and move to the corner to the right. You should have rubble between you and him. You can mist him from there but you’ll get a couple spells that land on you from here so have your health potions ready.

I only killed him and the full set dropped. letting me avoid the other 2 spawns, and the horn bastards that spawn the ghost giants.

                                                                                              I fought one, and got the set. Then fought the next two and got nothing. I’m not complaining, but seems like each invader should have had one piece of the set, so people’s motivation to defeat them would be higher.

                                                                                              • Anonymous

On top of that none are repawning either. Note stated “These enemies do not spawn instantly and will take around 10 seconds before they begin to load in” am I doing something wrong?

                                                                                                • Anonymous

All I did was get close to the edge where the bird falls off and kept rolling around near it until he rolled to avoid a throwing knife and rolled right off the edge....

From the Grace, i tricked the big bird of the Ledge, then cleared out the Albinuracs down to and including the group of four, then went into the small crack in the mountains, to the ledge, fought him 1 v 1.

Even worsw when other mobs notice and decide to join the party... At least there's only three of these mask-wearing punks.

He has trouble making his away around it to get to you and he can't spam his annoying flies spell because it just goes right into the tree. Meanwhile your hoarfrost stomps should go right through the tree to him. Just keep the tree between you and him and it should he an easy win.
