how to get Hugo to control rats, PC

[Myself]

OK, so i'm missing something... i know Q gives Hugo the sense to be able to identify rats and enemies, but i can't for the life of me get the rats to swarm an enemy even tho i got that to happen the first time during the "tutorial".... can't do it again. PC controls. any help appreciated...

Really? Just hold Q to turn on the ratsense, locate a swarm of rats with your mouse and to select the swarm, simply press the left-mouse button on the swarm, then use the movement keys and the mouse to navigate the rats to where you want them to go. However, you have to not only be in vicinity of rats but direct line of sight.

I sometimes get "There are too many, Amicia!" and then I can't control them. It appears to be related to two things: Hugo is not close enough to the rats (but don't get too close - they will attack you), and there are no enemies nearby to unleash them upon. I am not sure of this, but those two conditions met seem to allow me to unleash and control the rats.

That's to stop you abusing the same patch of rats after they have eaten someone.

Thats not correct because it also happens if its the first time you try to control a pack of Rats where they have not eaten anyone yet.

Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to prepare/make Hugo rest and ease the red line for controlling rats? The red line shows his exhaustion, and if you use Hugo's powers too much it goes bad. Anyone?
