White Mask Varre Quest Guide

Varre is the first NPC you’ll meet in Elden Ring. He insults you by calling you maidenless early on. Completing his quest unlocks a reusable Bloody Finger, which allows repeated PvP invasions. He can also help you reach Mohg’s Palace earlier in the game.

Varre’s quest originally required PvP, but an alternate PvE path was introduced in Patch 1.06. Here’s how to complete it:

• Talk to Varre when you first enter Limgrave.
• Speak with him again after visiting Roundtable Hold for the first time.
• After obtaining your first Great Rune, meet Varre at the Rose Church and receive the Festering Bloody Finger. You now have two choices:
• Option 1 (PvP): Invade three players with the Festering Bloody Finger; you don’t need to win.
• Option 2 (PvE): Head to Writheblood Ruins in Altus Plateau and defeat Magnus the Beast Claw.
• Return to Varre after either option, and he will give you the Lord of Blood’s Favor.
• Take the Favor to the maiden’s body in the Church of Inhibition.
• Return to Varre to receive a reusable Bloody Finger. Reload the area to obtain the Pureblood Knight’s Medal, allowing you to teleport to Mohgwyn’s Palace.

• Find a dying Varre in the area after reloading and exhaust his dialogue to receive Varre’s Bouquet and six Festering Bloody Fingers.

Yura Quest Guide

Yura’s quest revolves around battling Mohg, Lord of Blood, and rewards a useful Crystal Tear that counteracts some of Mohg’s mechanics, plus a red twinblade. Starting Shabriri’s quest will cancel Yura’s, so be mindful.

• Approach Murkwater Cave to trigger a Bloody Finger Nerijus invasion. Yura will help you here—ensure he survives to continue his quest.
• Find Yura in Raya Lucaria and use his summon sign on the northern bridge.
• Meet him at the Second Church of Marika, where he will reward you with the Nagakiba katana after helping him defeat Bloody Finger Eleonara.
• If Shabriri’s quest has started, Bloody Finger Eleonara will invade you at the Second Church of Marika. Defeating them rewards you with the Crystal Tear and twinblade.

Patches returns in Elden Ring and is up to his usual tricks. Here’s how to complete his updated quest:

• Option 1: Use the “You’re Beautiful” Prattling Pate, which will allow Boc to alter more garments. He remains here for the rest of the game.
• Option 2: Give Boc a Larval Tear to allow him to be reborn. He loses his voice and eventually dies, ending the quest.
• Option 3: Do nothing, and Boc will move to the doors of the Raya Lucaria Grand Library.

Blaidd Quest Guide
