Details[]
- ”Cortius and the other merchants in Gale Crossing need assistance with their rat problem. Normally, I’d leave this to lesser warriors, but I should probably lend a hand.”
Description[]
Rat Plague is a side quest in the Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Fatesworn DLC expansion pack. It becomes available to the Fateless One after speaking to Cortius Belcher in Gale Crossing.
Walkthrough[]
Clear the Troublesome Vermin[]
Taggert House Warehouse[]
The first warehouse is inside the Taggert House. Use the Warehouse Key to open the trapdoor on the southern side of the building and enter the warehouse. There are a total of ten Giant Rats to exterminate. They often attack in swarms using quick pounces and poisoned bites. The layout of the warehouse can be used to funnel the rats one-by-one or into smaller groups to make them more manageable in melee combat. The Fateless One can take cover behind the shelving while unleashing abilities such as Tempest, Elemental Rage, Meteor, Quake, Wrath, Scattershot, or Gambit against the vermin. Once the rats have been exterminated unlock the chest in the northwest corner (Hard-level lock) and then proceed to the next warehouse.

Windmill Storehouse Warehouse[]
The second warehouse is inside the Windmill Storehouse. Climb the hill to the windmill’s northwestern side, then use the Warehouse Key to unlock the door and enter the warehouse. The Fateless One will find ten more Giant Rats inside to exterminate. Again, the Fateless One can use the environment to isolate indiviual rats, to funnel them into smaller groups, or to take cover while unleashing powerful area-of-effect abilities. Once the rats have been exterminated loot the chest in the northeastern corner and dispel the warded chest (Hard-level ward) in the southwestern corner to collect the items inside before proceeding to the final warehouse.

Crossroads Inn Warehouse[]
The third and final warehouse is inside the Crossroads Inn. Head to the building’s northeastern side, break the boxes surrounding the door, and use the final Warehouse Key to unlock the door and enter the warehouse. Again, there are ten Giant Rats to exterminate. Use the environment to the Fateless One’s advantage to unleash their most powerful weapons and abilities to quickly exterminate the vermin.
(Crossroads Inn)
Slay the Rat Queen[]
- “The infestation of vermin in Gale Crossing seems to be the work of one wild Rat Queen. I must destroy her to end the plague.”
Once the Fateless One has finished exterminating the rats their queen will emerge from her lair in the southwestern corner of the Crossroads Inn warehouse. The Rat Queen may be stronger and more aggressive than the rest of her brood but she only attacks with the same pounce attack typically used by Giant Rats. These attacks are well-telegraphed and easy for the Fateless One to either Block and Parry or Dodge and then counterattack with their most powerful weapons and abilities.
