In V Rising, the main goal is to survive its dark and harsh world. However, survival depends on progression, and players must defeat various bosses in the game to unlock new abilities, recipes, and other items. Bosses are the core part of V Rising’s gameplay loop, so gamers can easily find almost all of them throughout the map. But Nibbles is an exception to this, as he does not have a specific location in the game.

So, in this article, we will tell you how to summon Nibbles the Putrid Rat and unlock the Rat form in V Rising.

Nibbles the Putrid Rat is not an easy boss by any means, and finding him is even trickier. As we discussed briefly before, players won’t be able to find Nibbles in the game’s map, as he simply does not exist in it. Summoning the Rat boss is the only way to fight him. However, for that, you’ll have to follow certain steps and meet some requirements first.

To summon Nibbles the Putrid Rat in V Rising, players will need a Vermin Nest. For that, simply go to the Refinement Tab in your build menu, and you will find the Vermin Nest. It is a simple structure that only requires stone and wood. But to summon the boss himself, you will need to gather the following materials:

  • Unsullied Hearts: Humanoid enemies or Bosses drop this item.
  • Grave Dust: You will have to defeat undead enemies, such as ghouls, to obtain this item.

Usually, these items are not scarce in V Rising, but their availability will depend on your chosen difficulty level. Once you have gathered all of the materials mentioned, simply put them in the Vermin Nest and select “Nibbles the Putrid Rat”.

As we mentioned before, to unlock the Rat Form in V Rising, you will have to defeat Nibbles the Putrid Rat. This boss won’t give you the easiest time of your life, but it is not too difficult to defeat him either. But we still recommend a gear level of 30 or higher.

Nibbles has various attacks in V Rising. He usually opens his arsenal by spawning smaller rats to attack you. Then, Nibbles might resort to his poison AoE attack to make things more difficult. However, we highly recommend that you stay on the front foot and keep attacking Nibbles the Putrid Rat, as it is the most effective way of defeating him.

Once Nibbles is down, you will gain the Rat Form ability in V Rising. This ability works exactly as it sounds. With its help, you will be able to turn into a Rat in the game. This does not give you any kind of advantage during combat, but you can sneak past some enemies with this form.
