The first NPC you’ll encounter in Elden Ring is White-Faced Varre. Initially, he may seem like a minor character, but Varre actually has a questline that can lead to exciting rewards. Here’s how to complete the Elden Ring White-Faced Varre quest step-by-step.

Where to Find White-Faced Varre (Location 1)

The first map location of White-Faced Varre in Elden Ring. — The first location of Varre is at The First Step Site of Grace.

Location: The First Step Site of Grace (Limgrave)

The first time you can find Varre is at The First Step Site of Grace in Limgrave. Speak with him, but note that he won’t offer much until you defeat Godrick the Grafted in Stormveil Castle.

After defeating Godrick, return to Varre and speak to him again. He will advise you to visit the Roundtable Hold and speak to Two-Fingers, prompting his next move in the questline.

Location: Rose Church (Liurnia)

Varre will next be located at the Rose Church in Liurnia, just northwest of Boilprawn Shack. Go to the northeastern entrance of the church and speak to Varre. When you mention that Two Fingers seemed “off,” Varre will give you the Festering Bloody Finger, officially starting his questline.

Invade Other Players with the Festering Bloody Finger

As a member of the Bloody Lord, Varre expects you to prove your worth before being accepted. To do this, use the Festering Bloody Finger to invade other players’ worlds three times. Once you’ve completed this task, return to Varre. He will then offer you the opportunity to join the Bloody Lord.

Where to Take the Lord of Blood’s Favor

When you agree to join, Varre will give you the Lord of Blood’s Favor item. The next step is to soak this item in the blood of a maiden. To do this, head to the Church of Inhibition in the northeast of Liurnia (accessible through Frenzied Flame Village).

Inside the ruins, approach the maiden sitting near the Site of Grace, and you’ll be prompted to dye the Lord of Blood’s Favor. Once done, return to Varre at the Rose Church.

Offering the Lord of Blood’s Favor

Once back at the Rose Church, Varre will ask you to offer your finger to him. Do so, and you will receive the Bloody Finger as a reward. Speak to him again to receive the Pureblood Knight’s Medal. This item will teleport you to Mohgwyn Palace, where you can continue your journey.

At Mohgwyn Palace, players can embark on another intriguing journey to obtain the armor worn by White-Faced Varre. Known as the War Surgeon armor set, this gear is particularly valuable for players aiming to build a powerful bleed-focused character. Featuring lightweight pieces and a unique passive on its White Mask, this set complements blood loss mechanics exceptionally well.
