Bless the Mohgwyn Dynasty, with love!

- White Mask Varré


White Mask Varré (白面のヴァレー) is an NPC in Elden Ring.

Overview[]

Varré is an enigmatic man who dresses in the garb of a war surgeon.[1] War Surgeons, despite their name, are not surgeons or doctors. They act as mercy killers on battlefields, putting dying soldiers out of their misery as quickly as possible by delivering final blows.[2] Varré was a war surgeon prior to his association with Mohg.

Varré was abducted by Mohg against his will along with various other war surgeons, however it was noted that Varré was particularly talented with blood incantations, and that of all the war surgeons abducted he was the only one able to "tame" Mohg's cursed blood.[3] Somewhere along the way Varré came to genuinely worship Mohg. If game data is accessed to remove his mask, you can see Mohg's emblem painted on his forehead.[4]

Varré is generally regarded as enticing but deceitful. He is eloquent and is kind to the Tarnished at first, but this appears to be a front as his personality can change dramatically if elicited by disobedience. For example: He will try to suggest he is helping the Tarnished, and refers to them with the pet name "Lambkin", but if provoked he consequently will refer to them as a "runt" and "low born". If the tarnished refuses Varré's offer to join Mohg, then he will indignantly remark that they must have misheard his request, and that he will wait "for your ears to clean out."

Varré seems to also harbor some level of sadism, or in the least, an indifference to the pain of others. He asks the Tarnished to soak a cloth in a finger maiden's blood and remarks that since they have no maiden of their own, "any maiden will do". When he injects the tarnished with royal blood and they scream in pain, he chuckles in a shocked tone and says "clench your teeth, or something." When the ritual is completed he will remark that the tarnished as "the sweetest scream". If attacked at the Rose church he will remark upon killing the tarnished that "materials of quality are so hard to find these days", revealing that he only ever thought of the Tarnished as a material or tool.

Events in Game[]

The Tarnished first encounters him in Limgrave, after exiting the Stranded Graveyard, where he offers them guidance, noticing that they are not accompanied by a Finger Maiden.[5] He advises the Tarnished to journey to Stormveil Castle and challenge Godrick the Grafted for his Great Rune, and recommends that they visit the Roundtable Hold.

The Tarnished encounters him again in Liurnia of the Lakes, outside the Rose Church. Here, he tests the Tarnished's dedication to the Two Fingers, expressing his own doubts about the veracity of their words.[6] If the Tarnished shares his concerns, he reveals himself to be a loyal disciple of Mohg, Lord of Blood[7], and offers the Tarnished the opportunity to join his new dynasty. After the Tarnished completes their initiation, by soaking a cloth in the blood of a maiden, Varré awards them with a medal which will grant them audience with Mohg when the time is right. He also injects the Tarnished's finger with noble blood, allowing them to invade other worlds.[8]

The Tarnished journeys to Mohgwyn Palace where they encounter Varré for the final time, invading his world and defeating him. Varré dies on the ground of Mohgwyn Palace after blessing Mohg's dynasty.[9]

Location[]

Just past the Site of Grace. Will leave a message in his spot after talking with Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold.

At the entrance of the Rose Church, to the west of the Site of Grace.

His invasion sign is located in the hallway before the Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint Site of Grace. After defeating him, Varré will be found laying on the floor close to where the sign previously was.

Dialogue[]

English Dialogue  
First encounter at the First Step
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.
If talked to again
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.
If talked to again
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.
If talked to again
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 talked to after defeating Margit and visiting 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.
Answering "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 realise the error of your ways,
I'm always willing to hear you out.
Talking again after answering "I don't need a seat"
Oh, have you decided to have a go after all? At joining the Roundtable proper?
Answering "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.
Talking again after answering "I'll fly straight and true!"
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.
If talked to again
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.
Talking after defeating Godrick the Grafted
Ohh, well done, well done indeed.
You bested Godrick the Grafted, and claimed a Great Rune.
My congratulations.
Now, visit the Roundtable Hold.
For an audience with the Two Fingers, in the inner chamber.
If talked to again
Go to the Roundtable Hold.
For an audience with the Two Fingers, in the inner chamber.
Talking at the Rose Church after meeting the Two Fingers
Ah, there you are.
You claimed a Great Rune, and had your audience. With the Two Fingers, at the Roundtable Hold.
You've had your audience. With the Two Fingers, at the Roundtable Hold.
What was your impression?
Answering "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.
If talked to again
Oh? Is something wrong?
Answering "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.
If talked to again
Oh, I have a gift for you, something fit only for 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.
If talked to again after receiving the Festering Bloody Fingers
Be sure to try that finger I gave you.
There's no reason to dither.
The Tarnished were spurned by grace, forsaken by the Two Fingers. And now they ask you to mend their crumbling world?
Hah, your loyalties are misplaced with them.
If talked to again
Be sure to try that finger I gave you.
I'm quite certain that you'll take to it.
Talking after performing three invasions using the Festering Bloody Fingers
Oh, lambkin, so pleased you're here.
I'm glad that you're enjoying my gift.
Mmm, I knew it 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?
Refuse
Oh my, perhaps you misheard me.
Nothing wrong with giving you a day or two
For your ears to clear out.
Talking again after refusing
Oh, it's you.
Could you tell me once more? Your honest reply.
Answering "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.
If talked to again
The cloth is your final trial. Soak it with the blood of a maiden.
The blood of anyone's maiden will do. You are maidenless, after all.
Talking after receiving 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.
Oh, good heavens. Clench your teeth, or something.
Never forget that feeling of agony.
For it is what binds you, to Luminary Mohg. To all of us.
Ha ha ha...
You have the sweetest scream. My lambkin.
Giving Pureblood Knight's Medal
Oh, another thing. You should have this.
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.
If talked to again
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...
Invasion in Mohgwyn Palace
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.
Talking in Mohgwyn Palace after invasion
O...Luminary...Mohg...
Please grant...the strength...you promised...
I have given...everything...
Please...my lord...
If talked to again
Please, answer me...Luminary...Mohg.
...
A-ahh...
Bless the Mohgwyn Dynasty, with love!
If attacked in Limgrave
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!
If player is killed in Limgrave
You were a maidenless upstart to begin with.
You will die nameless, without ceremony.
If killed in Limgrave
You maidenless runt...
Who do you think I am?
If attacked at Rose Church
You disappoint me.
Perhaps noble blood is too rich for the maidenless.
Well, no sense in sparing your life now.
If player is killed at Rose Church
Oh dear, a pity it's come to this, my lambkin.
How does it feel to die a failure?
Materials of quality are so hard to find, these days...
If killed at Rose Church
Luminary Mohg...
Bless the Mohgwyn Dynasty, with love!
Combat dialogue in Mohgwyn Palace
I made a grave error.
If killed in Mohgwyn Palace
Why must I be...
Disgraced by this lowborn...

Japanese Dialogue  
First encounter at the First Step
…おお、貴方は…褪せ人ですね
そして、エルデンリングを求め、この狭間の地にやってきた
分かりますよ、そうでしょうとも
ですが、悲しいかな。貴方は「巫女無し」です
導きも知らず、ルーンの力を得ることもできず、円卓に招かれることもない
…ただ、名も無く死んでゆくでしょう
If talked to again
…ただ、たとえ貴方が「巫女無し」でも、ひとつだけ希望があります
この私、ヴァレーに出会えたことです
祝福を、ご存知ですか?貴方たち褪せ人に休息を与える、黄金の灯を
その灯から光の筋が生じ、ある方向を示すことがあります
それこそが、祝福の導き。褪せ人が、進むべき道なのです
…ええ、そうですとも。導きが教えてくれるのです
褪せ人が、どこに向かうべきなのか
…あるいはどこで、死ぬべきなのか
Note: Rather than "life", he says that the golden light grants 休息 - "rest" to the the Tarnished. Likely in reference to the resting at a Site of Grace mechanic.
If talked to again
…きっと、導きは指し示すと思いますよ
あの断崖の城、ストームヴィルを
あれは、老醜のデミゴッド、接ぎ木のゴドリックの居城ですから
If talked to again
…向かってください、貴方
導きの指し示す先、あの断崖の城、ストームヴィルに
たとえ巫女無しでも、エルデンリングを求めるのならば
If talked to after defeating Margit and visiting Roundtable Hold
…おお、待っていましたよ、貴方
苦難の末、ストームヴィルに辿り着いたのでしょう
そして、円卓に招かれた…、おめでとうございました
…ときに貴方、円卓はいかがでしたか?
ああ、言わずとも分かりますよ
かつては、英雄たる戦士たちが集った円卓も、今や残りカスばかり
貴方も、失望されたのではありませんか
分かりますよ。ただそれでも、役には立ちますから…
まずは、目指されてはいかがですか?円卓の真の一員となることを
Answering "I don't need a seat"
...
そうですか。まあ、そうかもしれませんね
貴方は巫女無し。本来劣等なのですから
けれどもし、まかり間違って、気が変わったら
また声をおかけくださいな
Talking again after answering "I don't need a seat"
…おや、気が変わり、目指されるのですか?円卓の真の一員となることを
Answering "I'll fly straight and true!"
おお、ご興味がおありですか。さすがは貴方です
円卓の真の一員となるためには、大ルーンを得て、見える必要があるのです
…奥の間にいる、二本指に
それは、貴方たち褪せ人を導く祝福、その主だと言いますからね
ええ、だからこそ、貴方は見え、そして知る必要があるのですよ
Talking again after answering "I'll fly straight and true!"
大ルーンを得るのなら、ストームヴィルの主、接ぎ木のゴドリックに挑みなさい
老醜とはいえ、あれもデミゴッドの端くれ。大ルーンを宿す破片の君主なのですから
…けれどゴドリックは、最近、恐ろしい接ぎ贄を手に入れたと聞きます
精々とご注意あれ、貴方
If talked to again
どうしました?
目指すのではないのですか?円卓の真の一員となることを
ならばほら、ストームヴィルの主、接ぎ木のゴドリックに挑み…
大ルーンを得て、見えるのです
円卓の奥の間にいる、二本指にね
Talking after defeating Godrick the Grafted
…おお、待っていましたよ、貴方
見事、接ぎ木のゴドリックを倒し、大ルーンを得たのでしょう
おめでとうございました

奥の間で、二本指に見えるのです
If talked to again
…どうぞ円卓にお向かいください
奥の間で、二本指に見えるのです
Talking at the Rose Church after meeting the Two Fingers
…おお、待っていましたよ、貴方
見事大ルーンを得て、そして見えたのでしょう。円卓の二本指に
見えたのでしょう。円卓の二本指に
どう、お感じになりましたか?
Answering "They were magnificent"
…そうですか。それはよかった
では、お行きなさい。私の役目は終わりました
二本指の導きが、よからんことを
If talked to again
うん?どうされましたか?
Answering "They didn't seem right"
…やはり、貴方は分かっていらっしゃる
実は、私もそう思うのですよ
…二本指の言は、信用できぬと
あれはまるで、がたのきた老人の世迷言…
私は思うのです。エルデンリングが砕けたとき、二本指も、その導きも、また壊れたのではないかと
それに、二本指には、我らへの愛を感じない
私はそれが許せないのです
If talked to again
ああ、それで、聡明な貴方に贈りたいものがあるのです
…それは、二本指の導きを外れんとする、ひとつの手段
是非、試してみてください
そしてもし、気に入って下されば、またお会いしましょう
期待していますよ。私の貴方
If talked to again after receiving the Festering Bloody Fingers
…お渡しした指、是非試してみてください
躊躇する必要はありませんよ
祝福も、二本指も、一度は褪せ人を捨て…、壊れた今さら、助けを求めている
そんなものに、何の義理立てが必要でしょうか
If talked to again
…お渡しした指、是非試してみてください
きっと気に入って頂けると思いますよ

血の君主、モーグ様と共に、新しい王朝を築く騎士として
モーグ様には、力と、意志と、愛があります
答えは決まっていますよね。私の貴方

…どうやら、聞き間違えたようですね
…また、日を改めるとしましょうか
次こそは、聞き間違えないとよいですね
Talking again after refusing
ああ、貴方でしたか
もう一度、お聞かせ願えますか?貴方の答えを
Answering "Anoint Me"
ええ、そうでしょうとも
それでは、これをお持ちください
これは、最後の試し。その布を巫女の血で染めてきてください
本来は、自らの巫女を殺し、二本指の導きとの決別を示す儀式なのですが…
まあ、貴方は巫女無し。誰の巫女の血でも構いませんよ
If talked to again
お渡しした布は、最後の試し。それを巫女の血で染めてきてくださいな
…誰の巫女の血でも構いませんよ。貴方は巫女無しなのですから
Talking after receiving the Blood-Soaked Favor
…ああ、私の貴方
最後の試しを、終えたのですね
これで貴方は、我々の正式な一員
血の君主、モーグ様と共に、新しい王朝を築く騎士です
さあ、指を出してください
永遠の証として、貴い血を宿すのです。貴方自身に
まあ、情けない。しっかり我慢してくださいね

それはモーグ様、そして我々との、絆の証なのですから

それは、新しい王朝、モーグウィンの勲章
モーグ様に謁見の叶う、特別な褒章です
私の貴方に、特別な計らいというわけですよ
ただ、今はまだ、それを使うことは許されません
きたるべきモーグウィン王朝の開闢、その後に謁見は叶うでしょう
今はまだ、モーグ様は、神と共に閨にいる
もう少しの時が必要でしょう
If talked to again
ああ、待ち遠しいですね
貴方もきっと、愛と共に、重く取り立てられますよ
ねえ、私の貴方
ウフフフッ
