How to find and kill the V Rising Putrid Rat boss

How to find and kill the V Rising Putrid Rat boss

The V Rising Putrid Rat is one of the hardest-to-find bosses in V Rising, because you need to actually summon it using the Vermin Nest, rather than encountering it in the wild. By summoning and killing it, players can unlock the Rat Form power, used to turn into a small rodent for the purposes of stealth and safely navigating around enemies without enraging them. We’ll explain more about how to summon and kill the Putrid Rat in V Rising below.

To find the Putrid Rat boss in V Rising, players need to go through these simple steps:

Build the Vermin Nest at your Castle
Supply the summon recipe for the Putrid Rat
Beat the ensuing boss fight for the Rat Form power
It’s a pretty simple process, but it’s the first point that clearly is going to throw people, as the Putrid Rat is the only boss – or “V Blood Carrier” – that has to be summoned in this way rather than finding it on the V Rising map, and the game isn’t quick to explain this strange exception. Fortunately, once you know about it, things become fairly simple, but to expedite the process, we’ll lay it all out clearly below.

To build the Vermin Nest in V Rising, players first will unlock it automatically by levelling up their Castle Heart, as it’ll appear in the Refinement section of the Build menu – a large tank attached to two grates in the ground filled with green liquid. To build it, you’ll need:
Stone (x360)
Bone (x120)
Clearly these are fairly easy ingredients that vampires of any level can get without issue. Set it up somewhere with space – there’s going to be a boss fight here later, after all – and check inside to see the various “recipes” for summoning different types of rodent. There’s some recipes you don’t have yet, but luckily, you’re able to summon the Putrid Rat straight away. Problem is, there’s a few tricky requirements.

The Putrid Rat will only spawn here if you provide the Vermin Nest with the following resources:
Twilight Snapper (x1)
Fish Bone (x4)
Grave Dust (x8)
V Rising Scrolls

The Putrid Rat boss fight begins thirty seconds after you put all the resources above into the Vermin Nest. Make sure you’re ready – the Rat is level 30 and you want to be able to match this, or at least come close with your own Gear Level. Make sure you’ve got some V Rising best weapons equipped, and all the best abilities you think you can use.
The Putrid Rat boss will spawn in on the Vermin Nest and immediately aggro as you get close. It’s primarily a close-range fighter who does bite attacks, but will occasionally vanish for short periods of time and bring in large amounts of Giant Rats as minions. As a rule, you want to save your melee and targeted ranged attacks for the Putrid Rat, then use your AOE attacks and Blood Rite counter to quickly clear out the Giant Rats as much as possible before their leader can come back. Don’t be afraid to duck out and heal if need be, and make sure you’re not going to get caught off-guard by a sudden sunrise!
Eventually you should topple the Putrid Rat, at which point any remaining Giant Rats will despawn. Drink the Putrid Rat’s blood (ew) to get the Rat Form power, which is exactly what it sounds like – the ability to turn into a small rat that enemies don’t pay attention to, a very useful power for stealth and getting around stronger enemies without antagonising them.
