The Player Facing The Lesser Sanguine Noble

Updated on Jul 26, 2025, by Mehrdad Khayyat:The entire map of Elden Ring is filled with multiple points of interest, and knowing that the game will never give players a marker to find their way in completing quests, it could be quite costly to miss out some of those important locations, which must be visited to progress through questlines.

Rose Church might not offer a valuable weapon or a top-notch armor set, but it is a crucial place to visit for those who want to complete White Mask Varre’s questline, which is indeed one of the most rewarding side-quests in Elden Ring.
