How to Beat Pest Rat (Two River Sewers)

Boss Strategy
Heal with Water Rune and Great Blessing Use Protection Mist for Defense Ignore Poison Effects

Heal with Water Rune and Great Blessing

Pest Rat can attack twice per turn, dealing substantial damage to your party. Use the Bright Shield Rune’s Great Blessing from Hero to heal the entire party and recover from these attacks.

The boss's single-target attacks are also particularly strong, so have someone equip the Water Rune to heal any severely injured party members.

Use Protection Mist for Defense

Pest Rat’s attacks are primarily Magic-based. Equip one of your allies with a Water Rune and use the Protection Mist to put up a defense. This scroll provides a 20% chance to repel the boss's magic attacks for three turns, offering critical protection during the battle.

How to Protect Party Members

Ignore Poison Effects

While Pest Rat’s attacks can inflict Poison, the damage it causes is minimal. Avoid wasting Antitoxins and focus on healing your party from the boss’s more damaging attacks instead.
