[Gungeon] Resourceful Rat boss - No damage - No cheese

Finally got a more or less skill-based flawless of the Rat fight done (though I got lucky on the first phase a few times). I didn't use the RC Rocket on purpose so the fight wouldn't be over too quickly.

No cheese huh... I can see a lot of cheese from the rat

Good joke harty har

[@AdvancePlays]

What cheese is there against the rat? Does he just mean good items? lol

[@larsthememelord3383]

AdvancePlays he didn’t allow him to eat his cheese in the punch out portion

[@wapepe_]

3:33 damn, you actually beat his shoes right off him

[@RukiHyena]

anyone know what the last chest has if you already have one of the R.R. items?

[@TheGielnik]

it has another copy of one of the 4 rat items one time I got rat boots from a chest on the 1st floor, beat rat and opened all 4 chests and got a 2nd copy of the cheese wedge from the last one

I just now realized in the punch-out mode you are fighting him on top of the mech.

[@ICEMANAustralia]

Yeah, it is a reference to the Final boss battle from Metal Gear Solid 1, where you fight Rex (in this case the mech) and then you and the pilot of Rex fight hand to hand on top.

[@TheShadow7771]

Thank you, this really helped me make sense of the boss patterns.

[@ReaverTheSurvivalist]

I love the in game OST for the first sequence of this fight. It's so dramatic and ratlike at the piano parts.

[@jeepercreepers9]

Finally someone agrees with me

[@Fleetwayy]

I want to see a Jammed, Turbo Resourcful Rat without taking any damage. _lenny_

[@blast1292]

With starting pilot pistol

Thats OP af lol XD

[@pizzacarl6955]

jammed just makes the fight take and turbo is just a personal preference thing

I just beat the resourceful rat's punchout and got 6 keys for the first time today! I was happy so I decided to come here for some reason.

[@Index154]

grats, man

[@far8]

ive managed to get to the 1v1 twice but get disappointed both time.. what should i do in that phase?

[@tronsetable]

Omg your are amazing!

[@GeoAce51]

You're the God of this game.

[@RupertAndCheese]

I've tried several times, and I could not for the life of me work out how to dodge the crosshair and moving rings moves on the mech phase.It's so simple, argh!

[@nickandbarry1777]

I have been personally struggling with the punch-out segment of the fight, like only two weeks ago (after playing for 200+ hours) have I actually beaten it for my first try, many attempts before-hand where I would get decimated in the second phase and seeing this man do it made me feel like a simpleton. I feel your anguish.

[@Nerdatron7]

Index always delivers.

[@wgairborne209]

bruh "no cheese" I def saw some cheese eaten

[@Index154]

Oh yeah? This comment section is cheesier than the Rat could ever be

[@defgecd6588]

You know Index is working on somethin good when he’s gone for 5 days, probably workin on an impossible challenge he makes looks easy 👌

[@Index154]

Actually I started a turbo mode Lich streak. I'm not sure what to upload next so I'm just waiting for something noteworthy to happen on my runs.

You say no cheese yet there is very much cheese present in this video in the gun and bullets

Nice.

[@sergeysherba]

What should I do to get all the keys? Pass a third phase without damage? or need to finish off every phase of third phase with using super impact?

Finish every phase with a 3-star super

[@biscuitlad9]

Hey index Do you know what happens if you buy something from bello after double prices? Does he say something different or something? Could you try To find out? Thanks

[@Index154]

No he reacts the same way as always

[@biscuitlad9]

I actually just tried this and he just yelled GET OUT

[@thomas8825]

When you do a vidéo like this, you should record thé loot you’ve for, that’s really satisfying ^^

[@Kahalix]

Yo I have problems with punchout. When I'm trying to punch him when he is yellow it doesn't work and he punches me instead. Any advices?

[@Index154]

Try to time it to the sound of the flash rather than the visual.

[@Kahalix]

Okey thanks for advice.

[@annieofthefrickenstars3303]

Did you get a master bullet from it or something as good from it

[@Yagizino]

0:48 that was so fuckig cheese and so damn lucky wtf

[@Index154]

getting lucky is not the same as cheesing :P

[@Yagizino]

im salty cos that attack always ruins my no damage runs

[@Maslaczy]

Any idea what triggers the posion pools in first phase?

[@Dribin]

I believe it's random

[@pogobod2128]

it comes from the sewers so i assume its just natural overflow coming out of the grill

[@optyprompty1032]

I dont knoow, i saw a lot of cheese in that fight

[@fertifo3769]

i only got to kill the rat once, ended up with half hp...any tips for getting to the rat easier?

[@fertifo3769]

pffff, what is the company gonna help me with? wink wink

[@DanYami]

I see a lot of cheese

[@vojinmiljus5600]

How do you navigate through his maze and i never made it to him so i have to ask what does the thing above hp mean during the punch-out?

[@Index154]

The Infuriating notes have images of cheese on them that point in the directions you have to go in the maze. And the stars above the HP bar are super charges. You get one by punching the Rat when he's yellow and they allow you to do a stronger super punch.

[@wilddogspam]

vojin miljus relevant info, the infuriating notes on the ammonomicon have the cheese wedges with the pattern. I got stuck for a while waiting for the notes to drop during a run, which they don't. They drop only once each.

[@vojinmiljus5600]

but how do u analyse i saw the the cheese but i still dunno where to go does the cheese change while in a labyrinth?

[@borz8328]

vojin miljus no. From left to right for the notes. You clear each room one by one.

[@vojinmiljus5600]

wait do you mean like after i find them in game or in the ammonomicon cause i have all 6

[@pain_rain609]

Is combo-ing the left and right jab faster than pressing one continiously?

[@pain_rain609]

Just lazy and on console

[@Index154]

Not sure if it's faster or just makes him stay stunned for longer but it definitely lets you get more hits in

[@pain_rain609]

@@Index154 x o is my combo then (PS4)

[@Dazulolwarrior]

Hmm so it seems that the first two phases don't matter on how many stars the super is, third phase gives you a key for each star on the finishing super

[@JohnDoe-nq6oi]

Just to let you know, these are the criteria for the keys: One key is guaranteed on beating the first round of punchout, and another is guaranteed after beating the third. Another key is awarded for each round finished off with a super, for a total of three keys, and the final sixth key is obtained by finishing each round off with a level three super. Happy rat punchout to you!

[@Dazulolwarrior]

I'm going to love beating that rat with leaded boxing gloves

[@nickrogers3624]

I will be honest I expected a run without the rat consuming cheese. Mild disappointment ensued. Great fight tho.

Just opening chests and playing normally.

If you got the rat shoes and I’m assuming you opened all the chests, did you get two pairs of shoes then?

Indeed. The speed buffs stack so it's not that much of a waste.

[@saladsandwich5475]

Index 154 neat

[@Poondaedalin]

How large is the window to knock the cheese out of his hand?

[@Index154]

I got no specifics but it's very tight. It's better to hit a bit late rather than too early because then he doesn't punch you even if you miss the timing.

[@dagaz5794]

It's about the same as any other parry, but it doesn't flash yellow so it can be kinda tricky

[@fonzersbox1]

What the dog doing?

[@lunar532]

Wait you can cheese the cheese eater

[@meisunebernadetta9868]

The no cheese is a pun or theres actually a way to cheese this fight?

I consider overpowered guns and items, especially ones that make you invincible, cheesy. That's what I meant by it.
