White Mask Varré is an NPC in Elden Ring. White Mask Varré is encountered near the start of the game, right by The First Step Site of Grace, and will offer advice to the player. He can be found multiple times in different locations as the story progresses.
Oh yes... Tarnished, are we? Come to the Lands Between for the Elden Ring, hmm?
Of course you have. No shame in it.
Unfortunately for you, however, you are maidenless.
White Mask Varré Location in Elden Ring
White Mask Varré can be found in various locations throughout your adventure:
- He will be the very first NPC you speak to at the beginning of the game. Found in Limgrave, by The First Step Site of Grace. [Map Link]
- After obtaining any of the Great Runes, and talking to Enia for the first time at the Roundtable Hold, White Mask Varré can be found at Rose Church, on a large island in the southwest of Liurnia. [Map Link]
- This NPC moves to different locations
- This NPC can be fought
- If defeated, drops:
- 500 Runes
- 6 Festering Bloody Finger
- If defeated in Mohgwyn Dynasty via invasion, drops:
- 1 Furcalling Finger Remedy
- 1 Rune Arc
- 6 Festering Bloody Fingers, Varre's Bouquet (Return to invasion sign, and talk to him, after returning to your world.)
White Mask Varré Questline: How to complete White Mask Varré's Quest
- You receive the Festering Bloody Finger upon meeting White Mask Varré a second time at Rose Church. To trigger this, you must first meet the Two Fingers in the Roundtable Hold
- After obtaining the item, you can progress the questline in one of two ways:
- With patch 1.06, you can find Magnus the Beast Claw’s invasion sign in a ruined building in the Writheblood Ruins, surrounded by bloodhounds. Defeat Magnus and return to Rose Church to continue the quest. If you choose this option, you will not lose the chance to fight this NPC.
- Alternatively, you can invade other players three times using the Festering Bloody Finger (note: the Recusant Finger will not work). Defeating the invaded player is not required; using the Finger Severer right after invading also counts.
- After completing one of these tasks, Varré will ask you to join his order with the Bloody Lord. If you agree, he will give you the Lord of Blood's Favor and request that you soak it in the blood of a maiden. The closest corpse are:
- At the Church of Inhibition, atop Frenzied Flame Village. [Map Link]
- At the Chapel of Anticipation, if you’ve unlocked the second belfry at The Four Belfries. [Map Link]
- The closest possible corpse is located at the Church of Inhibition, at the top of the Frenzied Flame Village. [Map Link]
- Kill Irina who is located at the entrance of the Weeping Peninsula. [Map Link]
- Kill Hyetta, who is initially at Lake-Facing Cliffs, though killing her will end her questline.
- Once you return with the blood-soaked Favor, Varré will reward you with a reusable Bloody Finger. If you speak to him again, you will receive the Pureblood Knight's Medal, granting early access to Mohgwyn's Palace where you can fight Mohg, Lord of Blood. This method also provides early access to several Rune farming spots. Note that killing Varré will not yield Varré's Bouquet but will reward you with x6 Festering Bloody Fingers.
- You can also find an invasion sign near the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint Site of Grace [See Map Link] to fight Varré. After defeating him, return to the corridor where you found his invasion sign. His wounded body will be on the floor, and after exhausting his dialogue, you can collect x6 Festering Bloody Fingers and Varré's Bouquet from his corpse.
- NOTE: If killed, Varré cannot be respawned, making his questline incompletable. However, you can still reach Mohgwyn's Palace via a hidden teleporter North-North-West of Yelough Anix Tunnel in the Consecrated Snowfield. [Map Link]
Dialogue in Elden Ring: White Mask Varré
§Introduction
- Oh yes... Tarnished, are we? Come to the Lands Between for the Elden Ring, hmm?
Of course you have. No shame in it.
Unfortunately for you, however, you are maidenless.
Without guidance, without the strength of runes, and without an invitation to the Roundtable Hold...
You are fated, it seems, to die in obscurity. - Luckily for you, however, there is one shining ray of hope for even the maidenless.
Me. Varré. Take care to listen.
Are you familiar with grace? The golden light that gives life to you Tarnished.
You may also behold its golden rays pointing in a particular direction at times.
That is the guidance of grace. The path that a Tarnished must travel.
Mm, indeed. Grace's guidance holds the answers.
It will lead you Tarnished to the path you are meant to follow.
Even if it leads you to your grave. - Grace's guidance will reveal the path forward, most certainly.
To Castle Stormveil, over on the cliff.
The home of the decrepit demigod, Godrick the Grafted. - It's time you set off, I should think.
To Castle Stormveil, on the cliff, where grace would guide you.
If you seek the Elden Ring, maidenless as you are.
If attacked
- Oh?
- Do you even comprehend the gravity of this choice?
- Very well. If you mistake kindness for frailty of heart, then perhaps a more physical lesson is in order!
- (On player kill) You will die nameless, without ceremony.
Visit
- What's the matter? Shouldn't you be off proving yourself, or some such? Then go on, take the hint and follow the guidance of grace. To castle Stormveil, on the cliff. And if, by chance you do find your way to the castle, you may receive a summons. To the famed Roundtable Keep...
After defeating Margit, The Fell Omen and accessing to Roundtable Hold
- Ohh, well done, well done indeed. You made it through that entire mess, all the way to Stormveil.
And off you trotted to the Roundtable Hold... My sincerest congratulations.
But, how did you find the Roundtable? Oh, you don't have to say it.
Before, the Roundtable was chock full of venerated warriors, but now, it's home to puff-chests and has-beens.
I fear you've been terribly disappointed. I don't blame you.
But still, the Roundtable has its perks. Why not earn a seat?
Fly straight and true, so to speak.
§Choosing "I'll fly straight and true!"
- Ahh, then you're interested? A wise choice indeed.
To join the Roundtable proper, you must acquire a Great Rune,
and request audience... with the Two Fingers, in the inner chamber.
They are the purported masters of the grace that guides your kind, the Tarnished.
Mm, yes, pay them a visit, so that you may see for yourself. - Challenge Godrick the Grafted, lord of Stormveil, to acquire a Great Rune.
Decrepit, he may be, but a demigod he remains. And of course, an inheritor of a Great Rune.
Worse yet, I hear old Godrick's acquired a ferocious new toy to graft...
So. Prepare for the worst.
Choosing "I don't need a seat"
- ... Yes, I see. Perhaps it's just as well. Besides, you are maidenless. One can only do so much with the materials provided. But then again, if you should realize the error of your ways, I'm always willing to hear you out.
Talking again, after choosing "I don't need a seat"
- Oh, have you decided to have a go after all? At joining the round table proper?
Visit after
- What's the matter? Aren't you supposed to be earning your place at the Roundtable Hold?
Then you must face Godrick the Grafted, lord of Stormveil,for without a Great Rune,
you will not be granted audience. With the Two Fingers, in the inner chamber.
Visit after killing Godrick or obtaining any other Great Rune
- Ah, there you are. You claimed a Great Rune, and had your audience. With the Two Fingers, at the Roundtable Hold. What was your impression?
Choosing "They didn't seem right"
- Ah-ha, your intuition serves you well. My doubts had been piling up, you see… The words of the Two Fingers cannot be trusted. Truly, naught but rambling, senile delusions. I believe, that when the Elden Ring was shattered, the Two Fingers were corrupted, their guidance; skewed. Even worse, the Fingers harbor no love for our kind. That's the part that irks the most.
Choosing "They were magnificent"
- You don't say. Well, what a relief that must be. You may go, then. My work here is done. May the wisdom of the two fingers guide you.
Receiving the Fingers
- Oh, I have a gift for you, something fit for only the wise. A means for circumventing the draw of the Two Fingers. Give it a try, won't you? And if it please you, may we meet again. I've high hopes for you. My lambkin. Be sure to try that finger I gave you. There's no reason to dither.
Visit at the Rose Church, after using the Finger three times.
- Oh, lambkin, so pleased you're here. I'm glad you're enjoying my gift. Mmm, I knew from the very start. You have a taste for noble blood.
- I wish to anoint you a proper inductee. A knight to serve Luminary Mohg, the Lord of Blood, and establish a new dynasty. Luminary Mohg has strength, vision, and of course, love. So, what do you say, my lambkin?
Choosing "Anoint me."
- Mm, yes, who would have it any other way? Now, take this. For your final trial. Soak the cloth with a maiden's blood. Normally, this ritual would involve killing one's own maiden, and recanting the wisdom of the Two Fingers. But since you are maidenless, the blood of anyone's maiden will do.
Choosing "Refuse."
- Oh my. Perhaps you misheard me. Nothing wrong with giving you a day or two. For your ears to clear out.
After returning with the blood-soaked Favor.
- Ahh, my lambkin. You've completed your final trial. And with this, you are a formal inductee. A knight who will assist Luminary Mohg, the Lord of Blood, in the establishment of a new dynasty. Now, give me your finger. This noble blood will be an immutable badge of honor, once it settles. Inside of you.
Upon offering finger.
- Oh, good heavens. Clench your teeth, or something.
After receiving Bloody Finger.
- Never forget that feeling of agony. For it is what binds you to Luminary Mogh, to all of us. Ha ha ha... You have the sweetest scream. My lambkin.
Talking again, after offering finger and receiving Bloody Finger.
- Oh another thing. You should have this.
After receiving Pureblood Knight's Medal.
- A medal granted by the new Mohgwyn dynasty. With the power to grant audience with Luminary Mohg. I've gone out of my way to provide one to you. But you mustn't use it just yet.
- The meeting must wait until the Mohgwyn dynasty commences. Luminary Mohg yet slumbers beside the Divinity. We must endure a little longer.
Talking again, after receiving Pureblood Knight's Medal but before using it.
- Ahh, it is trying, but we must be patient. One day, you will be elevated, deservedly, basking in love. Right, my lambkin? Ha ha ha...
Upon invading him near the Mausoleum Dynasty Midpoint grace.
- You seek violence, heedless of my warning, though you have been raised to a knight of the dynasty? I am pained, to the very depths of my being. I'll ensure you regret this, my lambkin. Enjoy your miserable death.
Death.
- You maidenless runt... Who do you think I am? <Groan>
When killed while invading him.
- Why must I be... disgraced by this lowborn
Final dialogue when talked to after invading him
- O... Luminary... Mohg...
Please grant... the strength... you promised
I have given... everything...
Please... my lord... - Please, answer me... Luminary... Mohg.
...
A-ahh...
Bless the Mohgwyn Dynasty, with love!
Elden Ring Notes & Trivia for White Mask Varré
- During combat, Varre uses Varre's Bouquet and a sacred seal, which he uses to cast Catch Flame, Bloodflame Blade, and Swarm of Flies.
- He used to tell you to go die in a ditch. This was only said during the network test, and was removed from the final release of the game.
"Feel free to go off and die in a ditch somewhere."
- Cannot be revived at Church of Vows, like most dead NPCs.
- He wears the War Surgeon Set, which drops from one of the three Nameless White Mask invaders in Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum.
- The War Surgeon Set's description implies that Mohg originally had the surgeons abducted against their will; Varré included. It details that none of the other White Masks he had taken were able to "tame the accursed blood", but that Varré was the exception. This could be related to Varré's deep loyalty to Mohg and his upcoming Dynasty.
White Mask Varré Lore
Lore Items Related to White Mask Varré
Lord of Blood's Favor
Before soaking:
Pure white oath-cloth given by Varré. The final trial to be anointed a Knight of Mohg, Lord of Blood.
"Soak the cloth with a maiden's blood... The blood of anyone's maiden will do. You are maidenless, after all."
After soaking:
Fully reddened oath-cloth, dyed in a maiden's blood.
The final trial is complete. Luminary Mohg is sure to welcome you into his service, as a knight who will lay the foundations for his dynasty.
War Surgeon Gown
Bloodstained white gown of the war surgeons who were effectively mercy killers.
Of the surgeons that were abducted by the Lord of Blood, none were able to tame the accursed blood.
None but Varré, that is; though he was an exception.
Dagger Talisman
A talisman depicting a dagger and a surgeon.
Enhances critical hits.
The white-garbed field surgeons come to the aid of friend and foe alike by dealing a final deadly thrust to spare them from the prolonged agony of a mortal wound. A sense of mercy is a catalyst for bloodlust.

Need an expert here, can I do everything except receiving the blood finger (I don't want the red eye, I want to keep the dragon eyes) and still do the rest of his quest when I reach the blood dynasty place?

Turns out if you somehow never receive a great rune (meaning that you will never talk to Enia), and then proceed to burn the erdtree, you will miss out on Varre's questline, as he will not appear next to rose church. @mods plsfix

Zero drip, robes found on the side of the road, covered in corpse juices, edgy hand rubbing anime villain, shitty flower bouquet that deals no damage, worships a delusional god, unironically believes the world should be covered in blood blisters, maggots and excrement, arrogant and calls you a lowborn (the Dynasty doesn't even exist), probably some gross sadist or something, thinking he's smarter than he is, secretly a middle-aged man with the zest of a half-drowned rat wearing a nun outfit and if the age of Mohg ever came to pass it would just be more bloodshed, emotionally manipulative, will gaslight you, tear you down and praise the behaviour he wants, all the while thinking he's above you, the Dynasty's promise of "love" is very clearly just a draw to the loneliest, saddest and most depraved people, willing to join for cheap "love". But I'm going to forgive all that. Blood rituals are fine by me! Oh, call me lambkin again, my angel. Anoint me. I'll do anything.

It's OKAY to feel attracted to Varré. His actor went out of his way to give him a moany voice with lots of gasps and grunts, in addition to the "sweet scream* and "lambkin comments".
I know, I'm pretty sure he's evil and a red flag... But he's very vocal. If a festering swamp world is what he wants, I'll do his bidding.

It is not required to defeat Magnus to progress the quest with Varre. Entering the invasion sign 3 times will also progress it.

I'm really glad they added the option to invade an npc to progress those questline. Eventually, if the game loses enough of it's player base, it could be tough to find three people to invade.

Varré not all that bad. He helps you out getting started in PVP and grants you acess the best rune farms in the game. Also I find him to be quite entertaining, I wish there was more to his questline.

There seems to be a misunderstanding in the comments regarding the invasions. All you need is 3 random invasions. It does not need to be quest related like Yura or Magnus, you can just visit 3 random people's worlds online, fight for a bit (or leave right away up to you) and you're all set.
Also quick note, for anyone looking to come prepared, if you choose the Church of Inhibition for your maiden, do be ready as you will get invaded by Vyke. And oh boy is he an annoying fight (Player + Madness = bad juju). Best way to avoid him is to just roll past him to the site of grace next to the maiden. Your Welcome. :D

I was able to trigger the next stage of varre's quest line (receiving the favor and heading off the bloody it) by doing the stage of bloody finger hunter yura's quest where you invade ravenmount assassin and assist him in fighting it, so it may be that using any red summon sign can trigger the next stage and not just Magnus the beast claw's. I think its worth more testing.

One thing that should be mentioned on this page is that if you do his questline you get an eye look (blood) that overrides all the other eye looks (dragon/frenzy). If you want any of the other eyes you basically have to go to NG+.

I advanced his quest by invading NPCs, not including Magnus. I invaded the finger with Yura at Raya Lucaria, and the first two of Volcano Manor's invasion targets. This worked and advanced the quest.

Does anyone know what happens if you go on to defeat Mohg WITHOUT invading and killing Varre? Is there additional dialogue or does he reappear later?

A lot of people will be playing seamless coop. His quest still works, and not only with Magnus. Very sensibly, any of the NPCs you invade will count toward this. Invading to help Yura is the earliest and most natural in progression. The early Volcano Manor target is another. There are of course others through quests....... NOTE - NPC invasions seem to (sensibly) require separating and completing individually.
May require more than one or not - It has changed a bit over time, If you are having trouble read more about current version of seamless. Doing the Yura invasion or Volcano manor gives a certain flavour, whatever the current version does, if that matters for you.

For any offline peeps trying to get to the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum super early: you don't have to actually defeat Magnus the Beast Claw. Just invade, then either let him pancake you, or use the Finger Severer three times total. I've done this on two different characters and it works.
So you could actually lean on all your summons in the Radahn fight at a low level, and then use the tip above to get to one of the best farming spots in the game as soon as possible.
