Woe Be To The Rat King

Modded Darkest Dungeon
So this actually spawned on the same quest as the Marcus Brothers, but this fight was so long I thought to split the videos into two.
Modded Classes: Meister, Slayer, Anointed
Modded Boss: Nerub

The Grueling Estate modlist is a lighter version, made to have as little jank as possible while having as many features as I could cram in there.

The True Estate is, as the name would imply, EVERYTHING I use. This has a small chunk of jank, if you don't mind it. I at least try to make things as presentable as I can.

Vermintide at home:

[@kakashihatake326]

There’s literally a Vermintide mod though

[@majorblitz3846]

Not as high in quality compared to real Vermintide, but the home-cooked version still taste good nevertheless. The Skaven having sewer warfare with the Swine over shitty sewer territory sound cool.

Still can’t believe this is not the dlc. It so well made.

[@Rith9789]

A boss with priority moves and four turns? Nah I'm good.

[@cerebralcloud92]

Three, rather. And Leftovers seems to be dependent on turn order.

[@matthewhumphrey496]

When I saw the amount of turns the enemy were going I was like wow that's to many lol pros could win but alot of casual wouldnt be able to beat this boss

[@Manic_Entropy]

​@@matthewhumphrey496 I believe Nerub only shows up at champion level missions plus the rats themselves are purely optional, so in a way it's like trying to fight Shambler

[@Rith9789]

@@Manic_Entropy I'm perfectly fine with it existing. But I'll avoid it... Like... Some sort of disease that affects a large population.

[@Ashen_Night116]

@@Manic_Entropy If you're doing torchless, Shambler definitely isn't an optional fight 😁

[@Hedhnter]

It's good to see that the doom slayer, falco lombardi, and 9S can all set their differences aside to work together in these dark times.

[@ancard3118]

Man, the design of the reat king is incredible, it's exactly what the eldritch spin on the actual rat king should be

[@nadirlusarreta2078]

The boss design in this one is S tier

[@kotletschabowy4169]

Boss healing from corpses is a brilliant idea, forces you to either crit or dot to kill him reliably

[@vitaliitomas4057]

The rats have decent resistances to dots

@@lowlydovahkiin8084 remember to always add a mod with new enemies, when you add a class mod. Otherwise what is the point? That would a trifling victory, despite being victory

[@limbothebiggay1709]

New idea for a dnd character, thanks

[@Rudevald]

God damn skaven. Must they infest EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE?

[@FinetalPies]

I'm not sure why the Anointed's basic attack is also a self heal, both thematically and mechanically; they just swing a sword, and they already have excellent healing options. I gotta get this rat boss though it's really well done

[@CastellanMaben]

makes me want multi target abilities to hit plural times if there is a big target like it does in the formless flesh( yes I know it it considered a plural number of enemies that share the same health).

Love that this is referring to The Skaven

[@cerebralcloud92]

Unfortunately, this is completely unrelated to the Skaven, and is its own thing.

[@Zilong09]

@@cerebralcloud92 lol you can tell me that but I hear the audio and the 'kill kill', that just screams Skaven to me. It can be called whatever the Mod maker calls it but it just behaves like them

[@cerebralcloud92]

@@Zilong09 Because they’re rats. They’re both rats.

[@ablockofcheese1337]

This fight may not be the skaven specifically, though it does seem to reference them. Thinking about it, it's surprising that there isn't a rat king unit for the skaven.

[@Zilong09]

@@ablockofcheese1337 Its def not directly them but it must be an homage to them. Regardless the boss itself is made fairly well. I even like that they cannibalized their allies' corpses to heal. It makes me think of how the Skaven fight among themselves and they prob eat each other too. Either way I like this rat king!

Royal rat authority

[@DarkmegaGaming]

imagine not bringing preheat then spamming open fire with damage buffs until everything dies.

[@ivayloivanov7231]

That huge rat whit combine tails is from "Discworld - Sir Terry Pratchett" or difrend story.

[@cerebralcloud92]

It’s actually an idea seen in nature, known as a “Rat King”. A Rat King is when a group of rats get their tails stuck together, like a ball. What usually happens is all the rats die of starvation or dehydration from being bound to each other.

[@lillianpuckett8965]

Terry Pratchett did incorporate a rat king villain into his novels though, he was an amazing author. The book is "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents"

rat king refers to the rats a whole with their tails knotted together with filth, look up "rat king" its an omen of disease thats existed since medieval times

[@leonas9843]

God watching this was so frustrating. Why did you stall so much in stead of just last hit the fucking boss?

[@cerebralcloud92]

As you can see, the summons did not die immediately after the boss did, so there was a very real risk of death, one I was not willing to mess around with.

[@Storm2war]

Dlc expansion or mod?
