Stealth isn’t exactly the front and center option inV Rising. Outside of Camouflage (one of the best abilities in the game), the chance to drop off of another player or enemy’s visual scope is nearly non-existent. PvE players will need a way to pass up on high-level baddies to get access to valuable resources early on.

PvP players inV Risinghave an even taller task. Some folks on the server will likely power level and go without sleep just so they can prey upon unsuspecting vampires. For both PvE and PvP, the solution to dodging these encounters is to unlock the Rat Form.

Gathering Resources

Before this process can get started in earnest, players are going to need to gather some resources for the building and to make the boss itself. The quantities will vary server-to-server, but, generally speaking, a low amount of stone, bone, Twilight Snapper, fish bone, and grave dust will do the trick.

The toughest of these to locate will be the Twilight Snapper. Humans keep them in their settlements inside of chests and crates. Also, they can be caught via fishing.Use fast travelto get by a creek and hope for some good luck.

Make A Vermin Nest

Afterbuilding up the fundamental castle, vampires can make themselves a Vermin Nest. They can make up to twenty of these things, but one will suffice for now. To lessen the cost of use, build it in a room designated for alchemy, which can help out gamers who find themselves light on resources.

This is, thankfully, not a single-utility device. Having a supply of rats helps when blood is running low and that can also be made here, along with giant rats, spiderlings, mosquitoes, and one very useful boss.

Summon And Kill The Putrid Rat

Go up to the Vermin Nest and put in the necessary Twilight Snappers, fish bones, and grave dust. After doing so, the Putrid Rat will appear. This boss is no slouch. Depending on server settings, it looks like his default is level 30, more than enough to do in a new player.

He also scales based on the number of his attackers, so bringing along friends might not be the best idea. He summons giant rats to his aid, dashes forward for multiple melee attacks, and has an AoE poison. Once he is defeated, hold ‘F’ to take his power. Hit ‘J’ and click the Vampire powers menu, then equip it to the wheel. Congratulations, sneak carefully!
