[Enter the Gungeon] Resourceful Rat boss fight

[@Daniel_Ashtar]

I buy the key but i don't where to use, please can you tell what room/chamber you use the key to acess the Rat boss ?

[@oneirical3483]

The trapdoor to the maze is always in a random Black Powder Mine room. The room with the trapdoor has small rat critters which won't attack you. Then, look on the floor for the trapdoor (it's very well hidden). When you find a trapdoor outline, "dance" on it for a while (walk on it over and over again). Then, use a regular key to open the hatch. At the end of the underground railroad, use a blank. Dodge roll into the corridor, walk to the end of it, and use another blank. Use the Gnawed Key to open the large gate. Fall down the huge rectangular pit in the new floor. Then, follow the directions on the Infuriating Notes (the cheeses are arrows). If you forgot them you can always look in your Ammonomicon. They are randomized for each player so don't look them up. You know you're doing it correctly if you don't encounter any empty rooms. (EDIT: Very rarely, you can encounter empty rooms but still be on the right way. Simply continue to follow the cheese arrows in this case). If you fail to find your way in the maze an elevator to the Hollow will drop down, and you'll have done all that for nothing. Once you have gotten past all of the extremely dangerous rooms with probably half a heart remaining, gather your pickups and head for the boss room where you'll probably die instantly. I wish you good luck.

[@Daniel_Ashtar]

Oh thank you Oneirical Dream i will search on my next run, thanks :)

[@Miwhe]

Can you use the Lockpicker for pilot on the trapdoor?

[@lukamagicc]

Oneirical Dream Everything you just typed.. that can't be fucking real

[@harryolo1]

Bleaveland Bavaliers But it is lol.

[@shpeesupreme935]

So thats what he was doing with my ammo

[@alfredoaguilar6561]

Shpeeis Mable Metal Gcheese.

[@streamsnipings7560]

Sheepis Mable that explains why hes gun is infinite ammo Lol

[@moss7910]

So the rat turns into metal gear Rex? Well shit this is the best game ever.

[@Oneiroclast]

More like Metal Gear RAT.

[@frostyfox6287]

👍

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

We... we get to finally beat the rat shitless? YEAHHHH!... And then his mech? And then in a match of punch out?

[@alchapwn]

Avery Graham it's the metal gear and it's the same fight between solid snake and ocelots

[@TheoRO-sl6hh]

I don’t even know anymore tbh

[@dyciefisk2535]

He was able to create a Metal Gear Ray from what now?

[@skyefox5796]

The fucker deserves it, LEAVE MY AMMO ALONE YOU FUCKING SHIT

[@jinkisaragi874]

This fucker is harder then the lich. Wasn't able to beat him so far .

[@flipperjr.3822]

Wow, they weren't joking when they said the third phase of the Boss was a literal game of Punch-Out.

[@UndyingWladeslaus]

Elimentaler has infinite ammo... Resourceful rat for future playable character?

[@oliverkim7696]

SPOILER: There's actually a transformation to become the rat

[@wi1395]

Lord Shrek How do you get it?

[@kalakan123]

i bet you need to go to the right side after the chamber with chests, cause there are doors locked

[@Index154]

To get the Rat transformation you need all four items from his chests. Which means you either have to win the Punchout while finishing two phase of it with supers or you have to get lucky and have the chests be mimics (Lockpicks and Drill work too).

[@bekk12]

best anime redemption arc

[@oneirical3483]

This boss is on a Lich difficulty level, and yet you fight it quite early on. I died on the second phase, and I need to thank you for allowing me to learn the patterns without panicking every picosecond.

[@Index154]

It is very hard. I died to him the first time even though I had seen the full fight before.

[@Dribin]

@@Index154 how many times did it take for you to beat the rat?? And have you finished the punch out phase?? This boss is easily the hardest in the game for me, but you definitely made it look easy :)

[@Index154]

I only died to it once. And I think the punchout took me 6 tries or so.

[@dailysacrificedoublee]

It's really not too long before Lich unless you really try to get to it instead of killing the pasts, you'd probably unlock the gnawed key and Bullet Hell at close to the same time.

[@arlowicks9359]

The fact that you have to fight him so early on probably makes this the hardest boss in the game. An easier method of dealing with this fight is using rainbow runs to get clone and then taking him your second playthrough. Ive beat every boss in the game but I have never beat him without using a rainbow run.

[@liber5964]

So many references,1 boss

[@weezards1014]

The reference used to be a box now it literally just makes a boss to refrense to metal gear

[@Index154]

There are tons of metal gear references in the game actually

[@NeutralL12]

Index 154 I love it

[@CredibleSlayer]

Isn't it beautiful x3

[@leohawman5075]

For example NANOMACHINES SON

[@kidando]

ARE.. YOU... FREAKING... KIDDING... ME.

[@cyan8122]

Kidando: Making Video Games what?

[@cyan8122]

In hindsight this was probably about the mortal combat like fight

[@kidando]

Cyan the difficulty looks insane. Metal gear rex looks (and moves) like a heart attack

[@Freekymoho]

he's about Lich level difficult

[@jonathanleiman3302]

You meant to say Punch-Out

[@abaronca3413]

The new Vermintide sure looks weird.

[@ivanbrady3172]

Abaronca wheres the elf at lmao

[@abaronca3413]

Index is playing as her, that's Kerillian's Waystalker outfit.

[@TheArnoldification]

not enough solid color alt outfits you need to grind for dozens of hours for that don't match with anything

[@harryolo1]

Holy Sigmar, bless this ravaged Gungeon.

[@garedbi]

I believe he is currently THE hardest in the game (opinion alert!)

[@flipperjr.3822]

I am kind of in agreement with you. Tbh, the lich's attack patterns are easier to memorize,

[@MW-qt9ts]

I think the Lich is still harder, just doesn't seem as difficult because you have a lot more floors to get loot.

[@MasterPyron]

Nanomachines Son

[@jack8946]

They added a secret third phase of the dragun and that’s supposed to be pretty hard but I haven’t seen it yet

[@DeadKavaiol]

bullet god tho...

[@alexhackett1312]

1:32 “A UG? Here? Riden, take it down!”

[@impazie]

2:29 this little sound effect...

[@anzucrimson7025]

L... Resourcefull rat stronger than Kira?

[@fukkandre]

Sans WD no

[@colebotman]

"It's not over yet, Snake!"

[@ChillyWing]

A WEAPON TO SURPASS METAL GEAR! A METAL GEAR

[@RetechDragonflame]

And I'm sitting here unable to defeat Ammoconda and Beholster, also struggling against Twins.

[@RetechDragonflame]

Actually got to the beholster today and managed to get him down to like 1/3rd. Still I tried to fix the elevator so I had no good guns and half health due to me trying to save up 3 keys and 120 money, until I looked up what's needed to give to Tailor next and stopped bothering. Still had only Magnum and M1 Garant for the fight. Also I managed to luck out once before and defeated Gorgun, so I guess she's the easiest for me even though I didn't repeated this victory yet (cause I go too far away from her and gaps in her scream patterns close on me)

[@mylittledarkworldjohn4289]

So the rat has a Metal Gear, Great, wonder were he stole it

[@o0SugarFree0o]

He stole it faster than Liquid Ocelot

[@kennyfromaot7171]

5:46 Reminded me of when doofemsmchirtz got control over all the cheese

[@therealist4505]

A rat to surpass metal gear

[@vader1361]

Truly a weapon to surpass Metal Gear...

[@wizoop4468]

When u drop your r busted television

[@kennethquintero5356]

Oh my god... IT’S METAL GEAR RAT!!!

[@vorkaath1402]

kenneth quintero They have a metal gear, here!?

[@ApPillon]

That mech suit boss was bananas

[@callumwalker1881]

You're pretty good

[@bibreizh4664]

The drill work on rat's chest if you want one more item ^^

[@suomikalja1523]

The mech part is the hardest but the punch out one is the most fun and it's quite easy for me I got to the last phase on my first try

[@PrinceHermack]

1:26 Metal Gear Ray ? No, Metal Gear Rat XD

[@justcallmebookworm7543]

Masterful play, man! Thanx for showing us RR's boss fight!

[@astral2861]

Holy shit this is a cool boss

[@kaizov2940]

10 Optional Superbosses Who Totally Destroyed Players

[@danielhopkins5281]

I love that the fight turns int punchout

[@mikokuns]

They updated this game for free !! Le go! I will pay these guys to continue working on this, Omg A sequal would be blessed i pray

[@NateTDOM]

inb4 RR is the next character added and starts with 1 random gun and item each run.

[@TomBartonTunes]

I hate this rat so much. Hardest boss of the game. I have been stuck on him forever

[@jjwrighty0557]

He's hard, but advanced dragun harder

[@biscuitlad9]

God damn it He does not die

[@GreenEyedPsycho]

Anonymuusi if you defeat him in punchout he does in fact die and gives you his entire life story

[@kitestar]

Me with phase 2: so you got a metal gear huh? Big whoop, I already know the weakness

[@XTYRX]

is it even possible to beat him during the punch-out phase of the boss

[@Index154]

It is, I've done it a couple times by now. Didn't get the chance to record it yet though.

[@XTYRX]

Index 154 what happens when you beat him

[@Index154]

He appears again in the room where the dropped items are and tells you about his past before collapsing dramatically. Then you can kick his body around

[@user-fs1lc2cj5s]

Index 154 that’s very rewarding

[@XTYRX]

Index 154 thank you for responding not many people do this you have earned a sub

[@turtleturtleturtleturtle]

0:45 how did the mouse trap not activate?

[@mk4-matt6290]

Man, i was unlucky( or dumb) as hell, certain gun with a face from a certain dark toned chest appeared for me and i was sure that i would be able to beat this rodent, HOWSOEVER i didn't knew about the maze thing, so i ended up on floor 4

[@Batman-jm7np]

Who are you going to call? Ghost busters! I love that proton pack weapon.

[@rayman3521]

I BREAK YOUR DOOR IN. I SNEAK IN THE BASEMENT. IT IS MY HOME NOW.

[@projectD1S]

At first glance the 2nd phase just straight up looks like metal gear rex

[@Jadenlong1234]

Love that punch out reference

[@EPICSHEEK]

So he gets a metal gear, nice

[@EPICSHEEK]

Metal gear RAT

[@majorblitz3846]

Metal Gear Solid + Touhou = This shit

[@Index154]

You forgot Punchout

[@dog_catcher3496]

Everybody says that he's lich level of difficulty, and yet here i am going to try to kill HIM without even killing all the pasts. I still have convict's past to kill, but i just hate her so much, i have the robot unlocked but i don't see any caped kins so i didn't unlock the bullet.

[@BIGhappyG33]

Metal Gear Rat!

[@Sungatongo]

This boss is only fan service... and i love it!!!

[@userxv]

OMG......that Metal Gear/Punch Out reference so good it hurts!!

[@dymmerr]

Totally not sponsored by war robots

[@streamsnipings7560]

LOL

[@SnakeEater776]

Ok someone needs to tell me if that's actually supposed to be metal gear rex

[@masterzoroark6664]

A weapon to suppas Metal Gear

[@weirdalexander8193]

Hey, some Turkish guy stole this video, and at least one other. No one likes the copyright strike system, but this is the one time it works as it should. Take this poser down

[@Index154]

Thanks for the info. I have no idea how to do it but I'll look into it

[@Index154]

Actually, would you mind linking the videos? I can't seem to find them.

[@yuheavensent4904]

Alex Gonsler no one likes the copyright system only when it's misused just saying.

[@weirdalexander8193]

I think I scared him out of it! I reported under his videos that they were stolen, and when I looked for them again (because I just read the reply) they were gone! Now, I know this makes it seem suspicious, but it doesn’t matter. I did my good deed for the day yesterday, and I’m okay with that.

[@weirdalexander8193]

Besides, keemstar isn’t going to report on an argument between a guy with 62 subs, and a guy with 26. No offense meant. I don’t even HAVE subs, or videos, for that matter. I just like to chat :-)

[@alphads2000]

I can't believe the rat its actually Liquid........ *ARGGHH... LIQUIIIIIIIIIDDDD!!!*

[@MrRobot673]

don't tell my boss i was here

[@threethousandbees7260]

I'm proud of you

[@dizzyroach]

1st Phase: Difficult 2nd Phase: Easy 3rd Phase: Difficult :thonk:

[@2013fh]

are you ok? The 2nd phase is the most difficult boss in the entire game.

[@geoffreywong3818]

Ratalgear.... i am sorry....

[@GolemOfTime]

This might sound stupid but what was the wolf cloak that you're wearing? Is it a cosmetic? Item? It looks really cool! Thanks for covering this boss, I've been wanting to see it since I heard about the update :D

[@Index154]

It's the alternate skin for the Hunter which you unlock by beating her past.

[@sirgideonofnirtheall-knowi1881]

1:32 A weapon to surpass even metal gear?!

[@hiimchris3336]

funny how the rat is 10 times harder than a fucking dragun

[@weirdalexander8193]

Oh, and in metal gear solid, you could break its weapons to make it less crazy. Don’t forget to shoot ratty in the face when the cockpit bugs out and randomly opens! Otacon put in that feature to prevent the pilot from causing NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION!!!

[@GreenEyedPsycho]

Weird Alexander wait you can ACTUALLY DO THAT

[@streamsnipings7560]

Weird Alexander Do u have a panic alert? Cuz it happens to me when im out of ammo and fighting lich ._.

[@weirdalexander8193]

Yep. The cannon fires before the crosshairs attack, the drum clip thing shakes before the Missile barrage, and both of them flash when the bot takes damage.

[@weirdalexander8193]

The developers knew how hard those attacks were, and were like “ in case of salt, shoot here”.

[@weirdalexander8193]

It seems, however, that no streamer is doing this. By pride, or ignorance, it doesn’t matter. GIVE THAT RAT NO QUARTER! (He’s stolen enough already)

[@chismak2518]

Wonder how it looks with the bullet

[@Index154]

The Bullet looks pretty funny in that fight but the Robot looks even worse. He's got the most skinny noodle-arms and noodle-legs of all time.

[@shadowshinobin8641]

Teach me your ways dude I have Gungeon on the switch and I only make to floor three.

[@Index154]

It's mostly just practice and learning bullet patterns. Good reaction times, making split second decisions and such is also important though.

[@shadowshinobin8641]

Index 154 thx

[@CobyBassett]

Seven full hearts plus a shield?!

[@Index154]

3 master rounds, Heart of Ice and a shield drop. Pretty standard amount of HP in my book

[@mashedpotatoes28]

to have tried out myself,i can tell you he is as hard a the lich so be fucking prepared before fighting him

[@linothebest1]

It's a fucking Metal Gear! It's the rat on MGS1 that we've killed for take the card! And it want to take is revenge with us!

[@cloverift]

With Tonic mode too, nice one!

[@Index154]

Haha, I wish. No turbo mode on that run, just your normal game speed. I had the option for faster movement out of combat on though.

[@cloverift]

Hmm I guess it feels slower if we play it our self. I guess I'm too focused XD

[@dashandtuch7592]

metal gear solid 4 last boss liquid snake reference

[@rosurobosu8546]

....you scrub, it's MGS1

[@divineholinessjr]

Not just metal gear, after that fight, there was the punch out reference (I believe) too.

[@robertwood1689]

DivineHolinessjr the fight on top is still a mgs1 callback but with the added bonus of also being a punch out fight sim XD so cool

[@alexhackett1312]

Fighting on top of the MG:Ray May be a not to MGR:Revengance, since you fight Armstrong on top of the MG:EXELSUS.

[@robertwood1689]

Alex Hackett they're all pretty applicable here lol

[@hat.2106]

-This is very hard! *Casey appears* Im here bitches

[@mysterygamer4086]

Is the ending a reference to punch out or metal gear

[@jinkisaragi874]

mystery gamer Both. Seriously

[@richterdelgan123]

Both.. even the timer bomb is there

[@Index154]

For some info on how to get to this boss, check the replies to the pinned comment.

[@oliverkim7696]

Oh wow hey Index

[@felixcintron5078]

Maaaan the convict would be great here

[@pirarm3851]

You had a drill....

[@jurassician3725]

A weapon to surpass metal gear.

[@TheEternalWaiter]

he is the first

[@517ivory]

The 2nd phase is my favourite.

[@samd2431]

Imagine if this was chamber 1

[@Paracausal_Fruit]

He just has a metal gear!?

[@robot-sensei]

ey dude how is this possible isnt the fisght at 3th floor your guns and heakt was so high ?

[@Index154]

I don't remember the run too well but maybe I just got lucky with drops.

[@BewareOfNerd]

Is that Metal Gear RAT?

[@derekxmanzano736]

Could someone explain to me how to get to that battle?

[@flemy]

1:32 METAL GEAR???!!! IT CAN'T BE!!!

[@ignis5673]

A weapon to surpass metal gear

[@weedlord420]

A wepon to suprass metal gear

[@Freekymoho]

So it isn't possible to beat the fucking rat in the punch-out mode? It just keeps going until he wins?

[@CelioHogane]

LOL, it's a literal metal gear XD

[@rosurobosu8546]

the last phase can be won..

[@Index154]

I am aware and I might upload a video of that too unless I get lazy.

[@SpeedWeed6969]

The Hunter gets her revenge for all those stolen weapons in the AG&D trailer!

[@nathanfisher3538]

O my god it's a giant rat

[@hoohah5067]

How do ya fight him?

[@gymnorhinusxuyg8793]

A weapon to surpass metal gear...

[@buttertheonetruemesser4657]

Hardest boss in the game ive fought so far

[@aronlecznar1072]

how does he have so many guns on only the 3rd floor?

[@Index154]

For all you know I could have gone through the Oubliette and the Abbey. But in truth I just got lucky with chest spawns.

[@aronlecznar1072]

Oubliette is useless in terms of gun distribution and even money in my experience lol. That is lucky.

[@CredibleSlayer]

Is that a Metal Gear!?

[@potatotower7288]

OOOO Looks like you’re the first!

[@Index154]

The first to post a video of it: Maybe ^^ The first to beat the boss: Unfortunately not because streamers had early access to the update and already beat it before the release. They're the reason why I was able to get to the boss so quickly at all.

[@wispyskull9773]

1:28 METAL GEAR!?

[@kwah6587]

How to get to this boss??

[@quinoreal]
