White Mask

Bloodstained, faintly grinning white mask.

Worn by war surgeons who were effectively mercy killers.

The Lord of Blood's curse enlivens the wearer when bloodletting occurs. Slightly raises attack power when there is blood loss nearby.

Nameless White Mask invasion in the blood lake

Mohgwyn Palace

Starting Site of Grace: Palace Approach Ledge-Road

Before you go

• Do this before defeating Mohg, Lord of Blood, which removes these invasions.

1. Obtain the right Haligtree Secret Medallion half from Albus in Village of the Albinaurics, beneath southwestern Liurnia's plateau. Follow the village path uphill past the perfumer, reveal the large pot before the bridge and speak to Albus. Stop attacking once he appears.
2. Obtain the left half from the rooftop beyond Commander Niall in Castle Sol. After defeating Niall, go through the exit behind his arena, ride the tower lift and collect the half beside the seated spirit. It is a separate pickup from his direct weapon reward.
3. Return to the Grand Lift of Rold and switch the action to Hoist secret medallion. Follow Hidden Path to the Haligtree through to the snowy exit. The ordinary Rold Medallion goes to the other part of the Mountaintops.
4. Activate Consecrated Snowfield grace near the exit. For Inner Consecrated Snowfield, continue north through the blizzard until the open ground becomes clearer; keep the grace as a safe return point.
5. From Inner Consecrated Snowfield, ride west toward the cliff northwest of Yelough Anix Ruins. Among the pale tree stumps, defeat the invading Sanguine Noble. This activates the nearby sending gate.
6. Continue west to the fallen tree near the cliff. Just south of it, find the blood-covered sending gate beside an Albinauric. Use the gate, leave the dark cave and follow the left-hand downhill trail to Palace Approach Ledge-Road grace.
7. Follow the slope north past the Albinaurics until it opens into the blood lake. Turn left along the lake edge toward its southern cliff, below the high ledge where the grace sits. The giant crow and blood geysers make this stretch dangerous; clear room to fight before approaching the invasion area.
8. Search the southern end of the lake behind the large tree, between the cliff and the nearby rocks. A Nameless White Mask invades automatically. Defeat this invader for White Mask, War Surgeon Gown (Altered), War Surgeon Gloves and War Surgeon Trousers together.
9. Two other Nameless White Masks invade elsewhere around the lake. Their defeats are not prerequisites for this reward, so you do not need to clear all three. Do collect the outfit before defeating Mohg, Lord of Blood.

Notes

• Weighs 3.2 and provides 5 poise.
• When blood loss triggers nearby, White Mask increases physical, Magic, Fire, Lightning and Holy attack damage by 10% in PvE or 6% against other players for 20 seconds.
• The blood loss can happen to you or a nearby enemy. A partial bleed meter does not trigger it. Seppuku can activate the effect through its self-inflicted blood loss; standing in the blood lake cannot.
• Another nearby blood loss refreshes the duration rather than adding another copy of the bonus. This improves attack damage, not bleed buildup or the separate percentage-based damage from hemorrhage.
• Can combine with Lord of Blood's Exultation. While both are active, their bonuses multiply to 32% more qualifying damage in PvE or about 18.7% in PvP.
• Only White Mask provides this effect. The gown, gloves and trousers add no damage bonus, and a matching outfit is unnecessary.
• It cannot be altered. Wearing the remaining matching pieces adds no separate bonus.
• The whole reward comes from one particular Nameless White Mask in the southern blood lake. It is guaranteed, rather than a random drop improved by Discovery. The two other invaders do not give additional pieces.
• Defeating Mohg, Lord of Blood stops these invasions for the current journey. Mohg, the Omen beneath Leyndell is a different encounter and does not close this pickup.
• Killing Varré does not give this outfit. His Pureblood Knight's Medal offers an earlier way into Mohgwyn Palace, while the Snowfield gate remains an alternative if his quest is unavailable.
• The invasions are NPC encounters and work offline. You do not need to invade another player or use a red summon sign to fight these masks.
