Obtain the Sinister White Mask in Elden Ring

The unnerving White Mask worn by Varre is an excellent boost for bleed builds. Here's how to get this eerie and powerful headpiece.

Varre's Mask

Varre's expressionless white mask provides +10% damage for 20 seconds after the preceding bleed.

Varre's Mask is an item in Elden Ring that can be obtained by completing Varre's questline. Here's more information about Varre's Mask:

Who is Varre? Varre is an NPC who can first be encountered at the Rose Church in Limgrave. He is an invader from another world.
Varre's questline: Varre will task you with defeating three enemies in Limgrave in order to be allowed to purchase items from him. These enemies are the Merchant Quarry enemies. Once defeated, returns to Varre to receive his mask as a reward.
Varre's Mask stats: Varre's Mask provides the following stats:

Defense: 12
Immunities: None
Increase to FP: 2
Skills: Prevents FP consumption when invading other worlds or using Taunter's Tongue to be invaded.

Location after obtaining: Once you receive Varre's Mask as a reward for completing his questline, it will be added to your inventory/wardrobe to equip.
Uses: Varre's Mask allows you to PvP invade other players or use the Taunter's Tongue item without consuming FP. This makes it useful for builds that rely heavily on spells and incantations for invasions. Its defense stats also make it a viable early-game helm option before better armor is obtained.

Follow Varre's quest steps to reach Mohgwyn Palace early and farm the Nameless White Masks.

Get to Mountaintops of the Giants, acquire both medallion halves, then go to Mohgwyn Palace.

These invaders in Mohgwyn Palace have a chance to drop the White Mask when killed.

Be prepared for many attempts before the White Mask of Varre finally drops from a Nameless White Mask.

The mask excels on bleed-focused builds using weapons like Rivers of Blood or Bandit's Curved Swords.

If the mask won't drop, buy Elden Ring runes from the best place to become overpowered instead!
