Varre

White-Faced Varre is one of the first NPCs you'll encounter in Elden Ring, appearing near the First Step Site of Grace in Limgrave. He serves as an early guide, albeit a rather condescending one, and his questline offers a unique path for players interested in the Bloody Finger and the lore surrounding Mohg, Lord of Blood.

Upon meeting Varre, he will offer some initial commentary on your status as a Tarnished and the state of the Lands Between. He can be quite dismissive, but he provides a crucial early hint: he suggests you seek out the Two Fingers in the Roundtable Hold. He also offers you a tip about using the Sites of Grace to recover your strength.

Varre's questline truly begins after you have visited the Roundtable Hold and spoken with the Two Fingers. He will then relocate to a small chapel near the Rose Church in the Liurnia of the Lakes. Here, he will express his disdain for the Tarnished and their perceived weakness, particularly those who have not yet embraced the power of the Lord of Blood.

He will then present you with a task: to prove your worth by performing a ritualistic act of violence. He instructs you to invade other players using the Bloody Finger he provides. If you successfully invade and defeat another player, you can return to Varre. He will then offer you a second task, which involves further acts of violence or a specific ritualistic cleansing.

The path with Varre is one that leads towards the Mohgwyn Dynasty and the followers of Mohg, Lord of Blood. By completing his tasks, you will gain access to the Bloody Finger, an item that allows you to invade other players' worlds. This is essential for players who wish to engage in PvP combat or explore the lore surrounding the Mohgwyn Dynasty.

If you choose to follow Varre's path, you will eventually be rewarded with the Pureblood Knight's Medal. This item allows you to instantly teleport to Mohgwyn Palace, a hidden area teeming with powerful enemies and rich lore. This is a significant shortcut to a challenging late-game area.

Varre's questline is entirely optional and leads to a specific faction within the game. If you are not interested in PvP or the lore of Mohg, you can largely ore him after your initial encounter. However, for those who wish to explore all facets of Elden Ring, his quest offers a unique and often bloody path.

Here are the key steps to Varre's questline:

  1. Meet Varre: Find him near the First Step Site of Grace in Limgrave.
  2. Visit Roundtable Hold: Progress the main story until you reach the Roundtable Hold and speak with the Two Fingers.
  3. Find Varre in Liurnia: He will relocate to a chapel near the Rose Church.
  4. Receive the Bloody Finger: Varre will give you the Bloody Finger and task you with invading other players.
  5. Invade and defeat a player: Use the Bloody Finger to invade another player's world and win the duel.
  6. Return to Varre: He will offer further instructions or a reward.
  7. Optional: Complete further tasks: Depending on your choices, he may offer more quests leading to Mohgwyn Palace.

Varre's questline is a testament to the diverse paths available to the Tarnished, offering a route filled with aggression and the pursuit of forbidden power.
