It is by dedicating yourself to the quest for the Putrid Rat that you will become aware of how V Rising will structure its progression. So far, we have seen that the various bosses unlock new plans and that you have to rely on the blood hunt to locate them, but for this one you will have to gather several crafting ingredients, which will themselves require workshops hidden behind other battles of generals. There's a bit of work to do, but a new vampiric form awaits you at the end of the road .
Twilight Snapper
So he will have made us drool. The fish needed for the summoning is certainly the rarest component of the recipe. To get it, you will already have to eat Rufus the Foreman to unlock the cabinetmaking workshop , then make a fishing rod from planks and wire. Then, well, you have to roam around and hope to get lucky by aiming for all the water points on the map within your reach. The drop rate of this fish is quite low, good luck!
Grave dust
You will have to farm some bones to be able to create the famous dust in your grinder . As a reminder, the grinder requires sharpening stones which you will first find by emptying the bandit camps around the woods. More details in our guide below.
Fish bones
To get fish bones, all you have to do is place the fruit of your catch in the Devourer, the workshop earned by defeating the level 26 boss, Lidia the Chaos Archer. Normally you will also get fish oil or even chitin from processing your fish .
Putrid Rat: How to beat him?
The Putrid Rat, a level 30 elite mob , is not necessarily complicated to eliminate, but there are a few things to know before you jump into the fray.
- First of all, make sure you have enough space in your base so that you won't be too embarrassed during the fight . You will also have to pay attention to its summoning multiplier, which it will trigger 2 to 3 times. During these phases, annihilate the add with the A attack of your sword.
-
In hand-to-hand combat, the rat does a series of small blows with its fang, an attack conducive to vampiric counterattack, placed on your base C. Finally, its last attack involves a poison AOE, quite easy to see coming.
Once eliminated, the boss will give you the form of a rat, capable of miniaturizing you excessively and thus going unnoticed during your travels in hostile lands .
