Mausoleum passage

Mohgwyn Palace · Final invasion

When available: After his initiation; finish before killing Mohg, Lord of Blood.

Starting Site of Grace: Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint

  1. From Dynasty Mausoleum Midpoint, go back down into the dark mausoleum passage. Find Varré’s red invasion sign near the passage exit and read its prompt.

Quest steps

Quest steps can include different outcomes. Read the branch, conditions and cutoffs before making a choice.

  1. Return after your audience

    Branch: Main quest

    Obtain a Great Rune and speak to Enia at Roundtable Hold. Find Varré at Rose Church and tell him the Two Fingers did not seem right. If you chose the approving answer, speak again to reconsider.

  2. Pass the invasion test

    Branch: Main quest

    Use his Festering Bloody Fingers to enter three player invasions. Victories are not required. For an offline route, use Magnus the Beast Claw’s red sign in Writheblood Ruins and defeat him once.

  3. Accept the favor

    Branch: Main quest

    Return to Varré and agree to join his order. He gives Lord of Blood’s Favor, which must be stained with maiden’s blood.

  4. Use an existing maiden’s body

    Branch: Use an existing maiden

    Reach Church of Inhibition through Frenzied Flame Village in northeastern Liurnia. Take cover from the Madness tower and deal with Vyke’s invasion. Interact with the maiden seated inside the church to stain the cloth. The maiden in Chapel of Anticipation is another option.

  5. Receive both initiation items

    Branch: Main quest

    Return the stained favor and agree to offer your finger. Keep speaking after receiving Bloody Finger to receive Pureblood Knight’s Medal.

  6. Use the medal when ready

    Branch: Main quest

    The medal can be used immediately despite Varré’s advice to wait. It takes you to Mohgwyn Palace, where the enemies are much stronger than those around Rose Church.

  7. Challenge Varré

    Branch: Main quest

    Use his red sign in the mausoleum passage. Defeat him, return to your world and speak to his wounded body until he dies. Collect the bouquet and fingers.

    Progression cutoff: Complete this and the Nameless White Mask invasions before defeating Mohg, Lord of Blood.

Notes

  • Magnus is the offline alternative to three player invasions. Ordinary invaders entering your world do not count as those three invasions.
  • You can use a dead maiden. Killing Irina or Hyetta is unnecessary and interferes with their stories.
  • The War Surgeon Set and White Mask come from a Nameless White Mask in the palace blood lake, not from Varré himself.
  • Mohg, Lord of Blood and Mohg, the Omen are different bosses. The palace boss is the relevant cutoff here.
  • His quest is an early route to the palace, rather than its only entrance. A later waygate in western Consecrated Snowfield also reaches it.
