Where to find War Surgeon Set in Elden Ring
- Dropped by one of three Nameless White Mask NPC invaders in the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum area of Siofra River, west of the Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace, in the blood filled lake. The easiest way to get there is starting going down the hill from the site of grace and taking the first on the left to get to the blood lake. The needed invader spawns behind the massive stone pillar beside the Blistered Giant Crow. Elden Ring Interactive Map Link

War Surgeon Set Elden Ring Notes and Tips
- The White Mask piece increases the players attack power by 10% for 20 seconds once blood loss has been inflicted on an enemy.
- The War Surgeon Gown can be altered to the War Surgeon Gown (Altered) to remove the cloak. This chest piece is initially dropped in its (altered) form, removing the neck drape and lowering its defensive properties. This can be undone at any site of grace so long as you have Tailoring Tools, or for free at Boc the Seamster.
- Killing Mohg, Lord of Blood will stop the Nameless White Mask invaders from spawning, locking the player out of obtaining this set.
- Poise updated to patch 1.07. See Patch Notes for details.

Varré not dropping this at the end of his quest is just... dumb. FromSoft, I love your bosses but some of your design decisions are just nonsensical.

Yes, you can still kill the invaders after varre dies. It's just a bit harder to get to the invaders since Varre gives you an item which can get you there by progressing through the quest. Now that he's dead, just kill the sanguine noble in the consecrated snowfields and approach the bloody portal.

I killed varre thinking he would drop this. Will I still fight these invaders if he is dead?

Love this set except for the mask, which is the one piece that gives you the buff, but not very fashionable for my taste. I usually pair this set with the prophet blindfold.
If the bouquet wasn't meme tier bad, I would had done a Varre cosplay playtrought.

Use the Beast-Repellant Torch to keep the blood dogs off you while you take care od the invaders. Doesn't work on the crows unfortunately.

Invaded Varre and killed him thinking he would drop his armor set, but nope, gotta kill the phantoms and they don't spawn anymore. 10/10 game design

I wish the chestpiece gave the damage bonus instead of the headpiece, as it is now the White Mask might as well be part of the Bullgoat's set

Miss the set. Can anyone tell me to which armor group does this set belong? It shares position with the omen killer set, the confesor set and leather from Patches?

The trousers are straight out of Bloodborne! Wonderful stuff. Haven't found anything to match them with, but still...

i love the entire war surgeon outfit but the white mask only matches with the set it comes in which absolutely sucks
also there's shittons of RoB tryhards with this mask

I find it ironic that robustness is the lowest resistance stat on this gear.

im not opposed to using the white mask or anything, but do people REALLY need it on their RoBs and Mohgs Spears? seems kinda redundant.

Killed mohg way early, making this set unobtainable for me, which is good since wearing the mask automatically moves you to your parents basement

This set looks awesome. Too bad you never see the full thing, only the mask on bullgoats or another armor set that it looks terrible with.

The fact you can miss out on this set completely if you kill Mohg first is kinda lame. They should either make the invaders stay even after Mohg is killed or do like Bloodborne did with Brador and have what they drop just there as an item pickup at the places they invade.

You don’t need to defeat all 3 invaders, just drop into the blood lake from a side path by the cliff near Palace Approach Ledge Road grace. Stay near the cliff until you meet first invader, defeated him drop me the armor set.

I got the white mask set by chance on my second invader. I'm using a great club and it keeps them stunlocked pretty nicely, good for quick and quiet kills.

Those crows must have stupid large aggro radius. I cant fight the invaders without getting the attention. Dumb as hell

Managed to get the entire set to drop for me after killing the second invader (nearest the farming crow) through an unconventional method:
Kill the farming crow first to ease yourself of additional stress around that area and then you can also try to get them to chase you back to the nearest area where you can use spirit ashes for extra help if you're still struggling; just hug the right-most wall to avoid being seen by the other crow nearby and try not to aggro any of the patrolling mobs once you're there.
To find the invader that drops this set: go to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road grace, shoot the bird, go down the hill past the crowd of enemies and turn left into a dark tunnel, drop down into the blood, follow the cliff on your left, until you come to a valley between two stones, then the invader should show up. He has low poise and does tons of blood loss.
Bonus tip: Don't mess with the dogs anywhere in this area. Trust me.

Got invaded once behind the first bird you see after taking the shortcut from the Ledge site of Grace. Guy dropped whole set

How this works is that there are three invasions.
1st one will be when you enter the general area across the Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace.
The 2nd one will be directly across from the Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace, in the area of the Blood Chicken(be sure to kill it before fighting the White Mask for an easier duel)
The 3rd one will be more south of the latter.
The 3rd one drops the set.

Locking stuff like this out from your entire playthrough after killing a boss is so infuriating. Sorry I didn't scour every strand of grass when I first came through here.
Besides, wouldn't they be pissed off that you killed Mohg, and want to invade and kill you even MORE??
Asinine.

i have played this game roughly 150 hours before killing mogh and have never seen a single one of those enemys.

Could someone drop it on PS5? Killed Mohg and can‘t get it anymore. And I don‘t want to start NG+

For some reason only 2 invaders will spawn for me, and of course the one that won't show up is the one that drops the set.
And no, I haven't killed Mohg.
I don't understand what people get out of changing the information about this set to be wrong, even after I have tested it upwards of 10 times.
I have consistently tested the set drop across 10 characters at this point, there is ONE SPECIFIC invader who drops the set out of the three. You don't need to kill Varre, you don't need to kill all 3 invaders, and it is NOT random which invader it drops from.

Bruh missed it a third time. Thought you can kill them after killing Mohg. So close to trade this with another person...

On my second playthrough i've been doing a bleed build and went to the Mausoleum at around level 55-ish since i want the mask. The first invader i killed closest to the first bird dropped the full set for me, while on my first playthrough i had to kill all 3. I found this a bit strange.

the giant crow is literally harder than most bosses in this game
nobody is wearing this cool set because it filters most people

Killed all 3.
Didn't get the set.
I'm an arcane bloody helix build.

Apparently Varre counts for one of these invaders.
Got the after killing the second invader.
Still got invaded by the third a bit later.

I don't get why they did it like this. Punishing players for not googling something is definetelly a mistake by From. I was eyeing this set from the moment I saw Varre in Limgrave but I was waiting for his quest to end before I killed him. After he didn't drop it from when I invaded him I googled it and realised that I had to kill one of the NPCs that no longer spawn because I had already killed Mogh. This isn't a matter of "holding your hand" but a straight up dumb design that breaks immersion for the game for no benefit.

Wearing the unaltered chest piece crashes my game and IDK why. The altered one works fine

tbh i dislike this set, makes me look like serial killer in pvp combined with power stancing scavenger's curved swords (seppuku off hand & bloodhound's step right hand), im literally Michaek Myers whos teleporting around on the battlefield XD, but bonus damage from white mask, seppuku, lord of blood's exultation, rotten winged insignia is too good, so i keep using it ;-;

will they still invade if you have the pureblood knight medal to travel there early?

It seems to only require you to kill the one that spawns furthest back, both my friend and I didn't kill all of them and still managed to obtain it from that one. This may need further testing. I only killed two and my friend only killed that specific one.

If you kill mohg the Nameless White Mask's wont spawn and you won't be able to get this set

I killed all the invaders before I invaded Varre or even got close to Mohg, still didn't get the armor. Any ideas why?

Looted this set from the invasions of Nameless White Mask in the blood lakes in of the Moghwyn Palace zone.
I finally made it through med school
Somehow I made it through
I'm just an intern
I still make a mistake or two
I was last in my class
Barely passed at the institute
Now I'm trying to avoid, yah I'm trying to avoid
A malpractice suit
Hey, like a surgeon
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Organ transplants are my line
Better give me all your gause nurse
This patient's fading fast
Complications have set in
Don't know how long he'll last
Let me see, that I.V.
Here we go time to operate
I'll pull his indsides out, pull his insides out
And see what he ate
Like a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Here's a waiver for you to sign
Woe, woe, woe
It's a fact I'm a quack
The disgrace of the A.M.A.
'Cause my patients die, yah my patients die
Before they can pay
Like a surgeon, hey
Cuttin' for the very first time
Like a surgeon
Got your kidneys on my mind
Like a surgeon, ooh like a surgeon
When I reach inside
With my scalpel, and my forceps, and re-tractors
Oh oh, oh oh, woe, oh
Ooh baby, yeah
I can hear your heartbeat
For the very last time
