V Rising Guide: How to Find and Defeat Nibbles the Putrid Rat

Learn how to find, summon, and defeat Nibbles the Putrid Rat in V Rising. Unlock the Rat Form ability with this boss guide.

Nibbles the Putrid Rat is a secret boss in V Rising that many players have difficulty locating. Unlike other bosses in the game, Nibbles cannot be tracked using blood trails.

Instead, players must craft and summon this boss within their own base. This guide will explain the process of finding and defeating Nibbles the Putrid Rat.

How to Summon Nibbles the Putrid Rat in V Rising?

To summon Nibbles the Putrid Rat, players must first construct a Vermin Nest in their base. The Vermin Nest is a crafting station that becomes available early in the game. In addition to the Vermin Nest, players will need the following materials:

• 4 Grave Dust: To create Grave Dust, interact with the Grinder and place a stack of bones into the input slot. The Grinder will then process the bones, yielding Grave Dust as a result.
• 1 Unsullied Heart: The Unsullied Heart is a rare drop from bosses that are level 27 or above. Players will need to defeat these higher-level bosses and loot their remains to obtain this item.

With the Vermin Nest constructed and the summoning ingredients prepared, players are ready to summon Nibbles the Putrid Rat. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Interact with the Vermin Nest in your base.
2. Place the 4 Grave Dust and 1 Unsullied Heart into the Vermin Nest’s crafting interface.
3. Wait for the crafting process to complete.

Once the crafting process is finished, Nibbles will appear in your base, ready to fight. There is no countdown or additional item that needs to be activated. Be prepared for battle as soon as the crafting timer ends.
