How to Avoid the Rat =)

[D.A.R.K.]

I'm not sure this is 100%, it's only occur once...

Was in the first Floor and I broke a Chests, it drops Ammo, after that I start to wondering "If I leave that room, wait for the Rat to stole that item and I shot him?" So... I leave the Room but let me check the Item...

When he did try to stole, I was there to kill him, but he has that NPC Shield and don't let us kill him... So... I tryed that again, and again it didn't work... BUT... After the second time he didn't show up again... I could leave the item there, walk around the floor and return to the item in there as well...

I THINK... I THINK... If you drop an item on the ground, wait for the Rat to show up and scary him twice he will never come back to steal that Item again, this means you can save your item on the ground for that floor.

I will try that more to check if that works or if was just a bug/glich.

It works and seems to vanish him from that floor... I did with a Key in the other Chests and he didn't show up anymore. I dropped the Knife Shield as well, I think after you scary him twice, you are safe to save any item anywhere, at least in that floor.

And he wont steal the item if you wait for him and scare him? Thats great. I shot at him one time but I never experemented the way you have. Good stuff.

PS¹.: You HAVE TO shot him, I did try again in onther run just walk close to him, and if you don't go fast enought he will give a sh*t to you and steal your item as well.
PS².: You can't do that in the Shop or you will f*ck up the shopkeeper.

He's a bat. but yeah. Same thing spook him and shoot at him and he wont steal from you, atleast not on that floor any way.

Edit:: That's definitely not a bat. Nm.

Wrong, that changed.

Whether you shoot him one or twice or multiple time, if you drop an item (like an active), he will try to steal it once you leave or teleport away. It used to be that you could scare him with 2 attempt on his life, but now he just wont quit.

Yeah, it just happend right now. I was saving Ammo to pick it up after the Boss fight, when I teleport to the room, he did stole it. I think, maybe, just maybe, if you don't use teleport he will not stole.

I have to run some tests again to check if it's possible to avoid the Rat to stole items permanently again.
