Varre's Bouquet | Elden Ring Wiki

I like how using blood tax with this feels like you're making your opponent smell some flowers and then suddenly violently bleed everywhere. Other than that, though, this weapon isn't very good and I'd like it to be buffed.

Submit

Normally using boluses doesn't make me mad in pvp, but bleed is my only means of damage with this, please stop hurting me.

Submit

I get that the only buffable weapon in the game with both arcane scaling and innate bleed build up had to have low AR. It would be broken if it didn't. It didn't need to be THIS low though.

Submit

this weapon destroy bosses, use it as a guard break, put a spiked palisade bleed on left hand, never use blood tax, only use break, once the stance is broke swap to occult misericorde, your damage come from bleed + dagger, this weapon weight 2 and is enchantable with bloodflame, this is arcane paladin build, very fun to do, not a youtube 15000 damage build meme, but very honest way of playing the game.

Submit

Killing someone with this would be disrespectful lmao

Submit

If they made it so the thorns of the rose spike out like a thrusting sword, maybe two or three threads of briars twining together, and then retracted on the Ash of War attack, and then they buffed the damage somewhat but kept the base range for the regular attacks, that's a halfway decent weapon

Submit

Hello i was wondering if anyone knew if you can get his bouquet any earlier in the run I know that his quest can be done in like half an hour but still, I was just wondering if he would drop it at any earlier spots.

Submit

if it bleeds, we can kill it

Submit

insanely good weapon carried me through my rl1 playthrough, didnt even need radagons soreseal

Submit

This is weapon hits only marginally harder than an actual bouquet of roses.

Submit

Since nobody else has mentioned it, I might as well say it; silver tear mask goes insanely well with this weapon, not only because of the extra arcane, but because it has such an abysmally low damage that the mask's physical damage reduction is negligible, basically giving you more bleed buildup with no dowsides.

Fashion wise? for me it just works, makes you look like some wacky character out of a fighting game

Submit

Aww Varre is so sweet <3

Submit

you can just infuse a greatsword/halberd with blood tax with bleed to get way more damage and range and similar bleed buildup. This might be buffable but the total damage is still so low that you're better off using an actual weapon instead

that said, funni flower go bonk

Submit

Just a heads up, pretty sure it actually procs 71 Bloodloss (AFAIK)

Submit

Just a reminder that this is actually a steel weapon, shaped like flowers. Now, how a steel mace deals 46 damage... that's the real mystery.

Tarnished Review: Varre's Bouquet. A nice looking, but disappointing weapon, for a maidenless man. Out of all weapons found in the area, it truly is unique that it's usefulness is about as much as Varre's servitude to Mohg, which is very little due to the fact the other white masks are smart enough to attack you in areas with enemies, while Varre does a simple 1v1. Its damage is about what you expect when hitting someone with a full suit of armor with flowers. Granted it does good bleed, and can be buffed, its pitiful range matches the extent of how much Varre's fragile ego can take which with no surprise, is again very little. It's ash of war while again unique to the hammer class as it is the only one that can use it, is overshadowed, by literally any other weapon that has innate bleed and can be equipped with this ash of war. Compared to other weapons Mohg himself and, his 'cult members' use, it has is the most uninteresting ash of war, as all the others have some uniqueness to them. For example, Reduvia ash of war, while basically the same as Blood Blade, has unique difference of not costing hp and maybe even doing a little bit more damage. That makes it some what unique. However this weapon does not get that treatment, which in hindsight, is a missed opportunity, as there could have been many ways to make it more unique than regular blood tax. For Example, it could maybe have the roses thorns extend outward, maybe giving it the most range a hammer could have, or maybe it shoots out thorns to extend the range. Granted that could take a lot of work, but if not that, maybe increase the health taken from the player as well as the health gain from hitting it, could have been a interesting difference from regular blood tax, or maybe just having better status build up than regular blood tax. Alas, that is not the case for this. However in the end, I think we all can agree that this weapon is perfectly suited for Varre as it is as forgettable as him. 1 Blood Rose out of 30 Mohg's Dynasties. Would not recommend, will not get you maidens. In all seriousness though...this is just another meme weapon, that's look bloody cool for fashion, kind of wish it had the morning star moveset. It's not bad...but it's not good either :)

Broken straight sword deals 70 unupgraded damage in ds3.
Deal with it

Submit

Am I remembering things wrong, or were you able to get this right at the start by murdering Varre? I only got festering fingers now.

Submit

Most versatile hammer in the game. It's a sombre weapon, so upgrading is easy, can be accessed early thru Varres Quest as soon you beat two Demigods, has innate bleed that scales very well with Arcane (a trait unique to infused or unbuffable weapons), while also being buffable with greases or spells like Bloodflame Blade to devastating effect.

Not only that, but it has Blood Tax as its unique Skill (an ash of war normally unequippable on hammers), which not only compensates for the slowness of the hammer moveset, but gives you percent based healing-on-hit, and does enough poise damage to stun foes of human build with each hit.

Submit

Bleeds incredibly fast when buffed with blood grease on a high arcane build. The morning star moveset is pretty meh but at least it staggers well enough. The damage is worse than the torch. For a weapon this gorgeous it's a real shame its only a bleed tool.

Submit

I wish they gave this the dagger moveset. Makes way more sense to swing a bouquet of flowers like that than like the hammers.

Submit

The bleed build-up is pretty decent

Submit

How and why can a hammer do Bloodtax which is repeated thrust? Anyway I have to try to powerstance it with Ringed Finger or Envoys horn. it's gona be fun :D

Submit

Blood loss build-up is 89.

Submit

Reduce the damage to 10, but make every hit cause a bleed proc.

Submit

Hey, do you know if you are limited to only one Bouquet? Kinda like Serpent Hunter? I tried to obtain this weapon second time in NG+ and couldn’t get it.

Submit

This weapon happens when you break up at valentines day

Submit

A blue one would make for a good Roserade cosplay with the original bouquet.

Submit

Funny to remember that this weapon has less damage than the Club

Submit

Nowadays actually makes for a pretty fun weapon into Malenia. As long as you have high Arcane and 30+ Mind, simply spamming her with AoW while buffed with Bloodflame Blade gets you through the fight very well. Staggers enough to not get hit by a dance mid-skill if you don't make mistakes, very easily punishes kicks, and healing from blood tax helps a lot to heal up accidental kick or blade flurry damage without wasting time on flasks. Haven't had as much fun with her since discovering whips, 10/10 can recommend.

Submit

Weapon for the maidenless

Submit

They should have just given it a shortspear lenght handle, and keep the damage as it is.

Submit

Easily the dopest looking weapon in the game. Deserves a phat buff for that reason alone.

Submit

This weapon is intended to be used for pure bleed affliction. Its bleed scaling reaches like (120) and when using blood tax you can inflict bleed pretty quickly. Normal melee damage is definitely not much of an option but it actually can make for an interesting bleed build.

Submit

This weapon with dagger speed would be really cool. They could've made it so you dual wield with the reduvia in your left hand like how the wakizashi powerstances with katanas.

Submit

You know you're a **** weapon when you deal less damage than a regular dagger.

Submit

can i get this offline, or is another pay to win BS?

Submit

When fashion souls is all you really care about

Submit

why does this have to be so useless? I don't even care about the damage but it's so slow. The attack speed should be closer to daggers than other hammers

Submit

The AOW is thematic, I’ll give them that, but something more unique would have been great.

With 99 Arc and upgraded +10, it has 135 blood loss buildup. If you’re powerstancing these, you can apply blood grease to both to boost that blood loss.

I think increasing the attack speed tremendously would make this weapon competitive. It weighs 2 lbs and gets swung around like it weighs 10 lbs. The poise nerf in 1.08 didn’t help.

Looks nice with rotten grave keeper cloak/helm and briar gloves/legs.

Just my 2c.

Submit

I think this would be a fantastic weapon for going for a practically weightless hammer. Yes 2.0 isn't high but its not low enough that I would call this weapon unique. Its an ok choise for a bleed weapon but you have better options. If you want to use it because of how it looks it will serve you well and be useable but its never your best choise if you are looking for a practical tool.

bleed on this weapon is 90 not 65

Been using this for fun with a petal whip in my offhand. It's not that bad. I've won more than I've lost in the coliseum.

The only deadly consequence his voice had was calling me maidenless with it

the fact this doesn't have a better moveset and is stuck with the standard slow hammer swings really kills this for any kind of pvp

Submit

blood tax was a pretty terrible ash choice for this, would have preferred something to make up for the piss poor range like something akin to piercing fang.

Submit

+0 Mantis Blade has 1 point more in physical damage than a +10 Varres Bouqet. 112 for +10 Bouqet, 113 for +0 Mantis Blade. well done FromSoft. it looks so cool and its so useless.

Submit

This is not necessarily a bad weapon if you buff it with frost. Basically you get some nice burst damage but also both frost and bleed can be proc'd during the weapon art, which will break your opponents stance multiple times. If you want to get really spicy, cast fire's deadly sins with it and you'll instantly reset your opponents frost status, allowing you to continuously proc it with bleed. Lastly, since frost and bleed procs always break your opponents stance, you don't actually have to two hand the hammer (which still has a horrible moveset), instead you can just keep it one handed, with a staff or incantation seal in your other hand... This setup is really good in 1v1 and invasions, but because you rely on two buffs, it's really hard to pull off in free for all matches, or team fights.

Submit

Getting bored on my arcane build. Un upgraded this thing currently has. 100 blood loss. I’m thinking of picking up another hammer to give it blood affinity. I’m interested to see powerstance bleed procs along with spamming bouquet’s AOW. Heck, even placing a better blood AOW on the other hammer and have boquet in the off hand. Though I do not expect dagger powerstance magic, I will have a little fun for a few days. And hey this hammer is pretty. Remember +9 is easy once you’ve progressed far enough.

Submit

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think people are underestimating this weapon because of its low damage. PVP aside, I think this is a pretty decent weapon in PVE. My current stats are 50 arcane and I got about 125 bleed buildup stat. I also add blood flame blade for extra bleed and damage (+Varre cosplay lmao). With all this combined, the cleanrot knight outside of the prayer room gets unlocked with its AOW. Enemies get a bit of hyper armor when they're stunned, but the bleed breaks through the hyper armor. Basically, just spam the AOW. Also, a single cast of AOW guarantees 2 procs of bleed, even though on the second proc the enemy would have increased resistance. If you want a guaranteed bleed, this weapon is a go-to. The damage is still terrible though, but it's not the worst weapon in the game (Those are for bows lmao).

Submit

I think getting hit with plain old regular roses would actually do more damage than this thing does

Submit

I really wish this was a greathammer or colossal weapon

Submit

Why Fromsoft, why do you make so many cool things that are garbage.

Submit

Let's be generous here. This is complete garbage.

Submit

I was planning on grabbing a pair of these and doing a Roserade build, but if it's this terrible i might not even bother...

Submit

Got invaded by a guy powerstancing this. He started attacking me & i felt bad for him so i just seppukued myself over & over. Even with his help it took a long time to die. I cant imagine the pain he must have suffered before that point.

Submit

only good thing is it so light so you can keep it as a back up if you need to farm health

Submit

it's like getting hit with an actual bouquet of flowers

Submit

good for meme, time to propose marriage to malenia... YOU DIED

Submit

The reason for the low damage is that the bleed effect it has is special. Almost double the normal bleed, but even with this it is a lousy weapon. With so little damage it is useless against enemies immune to bleeding.

Submit

i got invaded by a dude with gigantic thighs named femboy war maiden and he walked up to me and kneeled and i drank my physic and ****ing exploded killing us both

Submit

It is obtainable. Getting this weapon led me here.

Unobtainable as of 1.06. Killed him at his summon by the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint. Not there after defeated.

Submit

You stop and smell the roses until you realize there made of metal and it’s a freaking mace and that color of red is just blood

Submit

Where is everyone getting the idea that this is just a regular bouquet of flowers? It quite literally says in it's description that it's a steel mace and the petals have sharpened edges.

Submit

Hilariously bad. Even with Bloodflame or a Blood Grease the base damage is still so low that the bleed procs don’t make up for it. It’s also the second shortest hammer in the game, next to the Nox Hammer which actually is useful.

Submit

I was somehow convinced this is an actual weapon in the shape of a bouquet of flowers, like perhaps a steel mace with flower ornamentation. But no, it's just Varre's flowers. Ok...

this is the only weapon i'd be ok with having S arc scaling and innate bleed

50 dex and 60 arc = 260 ar.....Damn this needs a buff

Gonna make a character called "Day Improver" or something similar, and then go to the Raya lucaria arena, use the "Your Beautiful" Item, then leave them this weapon at plus ten. Then I'll just redownload my data and repeat.

Putting a thrusting ash of war on a hammer is kind of wierd.

that's cute

I think this weapon is trash as kind of a dunk on Varre, cuz he is so damn smug.

You get a better reward for following his quest line just by getting to access Moghwyn so early for all that furtive rune farming.

It should be noted this weapon cannot be optained if you are offline always. You need online access to get it.

I finally went and got this weapon for my pve character I'm working on, my plan is to +10/25 everything in the game.

I got this so I wanted to see if its as bad as people make it out to be.

On a level 400 character, upgraded and buffed with bloodflame it does a whooping 200dmg per r1.

My headcannon is that it was meant to be used as a key weapon to romance several npcs across the lands between. In short 10/10 one of the greatest weapons.

Submit

Why is this guy fighting with a big broccli

Submit

This would make for a fun challenge run weapon. Terrible damage so you rely on the bleed, which in turn forces you to play aggressively and get as many hits off as quickly as you can.

Submit

Why in god's name does this have Blood Tax as the AOW? They could've easily gave it some petal storm that causes bleed build up or something akin. It's the Harp Bow all over again :/

Submit

Terrible, thats it, no other way to describe it, its damage is abysmal, it has short range which makes the AOW utterly useless, and its a hammer which are pretty mediocre weapons, and the dual moveset is god awful.

Other than a flat buff to its dmg, it also needs a new AOW, cause Blood Tax is only usable on longer weapons, a Blood Mist would be fitting, like the ones from the Putrid Corpses, its a bunch of flowers, so the mist would be like pollen or something idk.

Submit

Hello, i try today the blood greases with this and it behaves strangely. with the innate bleed the weapon has + greases i should proc bleed in One or 2 hit max just like a weapon with seppuku and that's not the case at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Bleed grease overright the innate bleed for some reason. Need some testing.

Submit

It feels like it should have additional fire damage just like the other blood arcane weapons: rob and eleonora's poleblade. Hope they add it because hammers overall suck and this one doesn't even have damage.

Submit

Viable only if you're using greases - when a weapon with arcane scaling is applied a status grease that scales with Arcane (bleed, poison, sleep) the grease effect scales.

Yes, this can be buffed with Bloodflame but it's a poor candidate for it since Bloodflame's bleed tick is static. Use the grease.
