How to Defeat Putrid the Rat

 

The Putrid Rat will spawn and attack you immediately. It’s a level 30 boss with primarily close-range bite attacks.

 

 

The attacks of this creature are quite primitive, and you can easily avoid its strikes by moving sideways and delivering blows. If the creature goes into a rage, it's best to wait on the sidelines and strike from a distance. In any case, this creature only deals melee damage. If you see a green circle around the creature, move away to avoid taking poison damage. Do not let it get close to the Vermin Nest, as it will regenerate its health there.

 

 

The Rat will summon smaller rats to assist it. Use area-of-effect (AOE) attacks like Whirlwind (Sword ability) or Corpse Explosion to clear them out quickly.

 

 

Save your single-target abilities like Shadowbolt or Chaos Volley for the Putrid Rat. Keep your distance to avoid its bite attacks. Keep an eye on your health and don’t hesitate to retreat and heal if necessary. Watch out for sudden sunrises that can catch you off guard.

 

Rat Form Reward

 

Upon defeating the Putrid Rat, drink its blood to unlock the Rat Form. This power allows you to turn into a small rat, making you virtually invisible to enemies. It's perfect for stealthy navigation through dangerous areas.

 

 

 

Summoning and defeating Putrid the Rat grants you access to the Vermin Nest's various rodent recipes and more. Use these to your advantage as you continue to explore and conquer the world of V Rising.
