How to get the White Mask of Varre in Elden Ring FromSoftwareOne of the best pieces of headgear in Elden Ring is the White Mask of Varre but how can you get it in the game? The White Mask of Varre, otherwise known as The Surgeons Mask is one of the most sought-after pieces of gear in Elden Ring but it\u2019s not an easy item to unlock. If you\u2019re focusing on a bleed build, however, the increased power of hemorrhage build-up makes the Mask essential so it\u2019s worth investing the time to find it. This is exactly how to get the White Mask of Varre in Elden Ring, and the best ways to use it to create a devastating bleed build. Contents Follow Varre\u2019s questline You\u2019ll meet Varre when you emerge from the opening area into the Lands Between. He\u2019ll be stood on a ridge overlooking the Tree Sentinel and will encourage you to make your way to Stormveil Castle and kill Godrick. Take his advice but return to this location after Godrick is dead to read a message left for you by Varre. You\u2019ll next meet this creepy character at Rose Church in Liurnia and he\u2019ll tell you a little more about his cause \u2013 and his demigod Master. He\u2019ll give you three Festering Fingers and encourage you to invade and kill three other players. The area is a PVP hotspot, so finding an opponent will be easy. The good news is you don\u2019t need to win, just complete the invasion. Once you\u2019ve dueled three other players to the death, Varre will also ask you to dip his rag in the blood of a Finger Maiden. You can find this at both the Church of Inhibition in North Liurnia and the Chapel of Anticipation, or you can murder Irina if she\u2019s not dead already. Enter Mogwyn Palace early Varre will then invite you to join the Mogwyn Dynasty to serve Mohg, The Lord of Blood, and will then give you the Pureblood Knights Medal. This can be used to warp to Mohg\u2019s lair at any time you like, this is where you can find the White Mask. Varre will tell you not to use it yet and to wait for Mohg\u2019s summons, but this will never come, so use it whenever you\u2019re ready to invade Mohg\u2019s lair and go looking for the mask. You can access the Mogwyn Palace without playing through this quest by going through a portal in the Consecrated Snowfield, but this is much, much later in the game. Following Varre\u2019s quest allows you to find the White Mask a lot earlier. Finding the White Mask of Varre If you choose to use the Pureblood Knights Medal and warp to the Mogwyn Palace after Varre gives you the medal, this will be seen as an act of treachery by Varre. Be warned, the Mogwyn Palace and surrounding area is a high-level part of the game. So, if you\u2019re still exploring Liunia you\u2019ll be very underleveled \u2013 so tread carefully. The good news is you don\u2019t need to fight\/kill Varre or Mohg to get the White Mask, this is something we advise you to do later when you\u2019re able to take both characters down. Mohg is at the top of Mogwyn Palace and Varre can be invaded at the bottom of the stairs to Mohg\u2019s lair. To get the White Mask, explore the lake of blood area until you\u2019re invaded by one of the Bloody Surgeons. These invaders aren\u2019t so tough one-on-one and each one can potentially drop a White Mask and other parts of the Surgeon\u2019s set. Kill them one at a time to be safe, and keep farming them until one drops a White Mask. You may need to return to the Site of Grace to make them respawn. You can then snag the item and carry on with the main quest, leaving Mohg and Varre for later. Using the White Mask of Varre Those looking to create a still ridiculously overpowered bleed build in Elden Ring will need the White Mask of Varre. This is a lightweight mask offering moderate protection from damage, but its main draw is that it increases bleed damage nearby by 10% for 20 seconds. It then does it again and again, essentially making the 10% bleed damage boost permanent if you\u2019re using a build that causes hemorrhage every few attacks. Couple this with some weapons that cause bleed build-up, and the Lord of Blood\u2019s Exaltation Talisman (that increases bleed damage by 20%), and you\u2019ve got a build that does a huge amount of extra damage when you inflict bleed on your enemy. Bleed weapons This is why the White Mask is so sought after by those creating a Dexterity + Arcane build. Using katanas like Rivers of Blood and a bleed-infused Uchigatana, as well as some bleed-focused Ashes of War, you can do major damage to enemies \u2013 and the White Mask of Varre allows you to boost this further. Remember though, for the White Mask to do its work, you need to be using a bleed build and some of the various items above. That\u2019s because their effects stack, making you even more deadly.
