Black Rat's Moumousetrap

Quests linked to Black Rat's Moumousetrap

Two quests require defeating the Black Rat “on a specific map”, meaning in its room: Trapped Like A Rat, open to everyone, and When Threats Don't Work for Brakmarians. Accept them before entering: a fight won without the quest in progress does not count.

The 5 rooms of Black Rat's Moumousetrap

Five rooms. Rooms 1, 3, and 5 are loaded with obstacles: use them to break the lines of sight of Radioactivity, Raffia, and Black Plague. For each room: the scenery, then the tactical view with the starting cells (blue: you, red: the monsters). Tap an image to enlarge it.

Defeat the Black Rat

The four-step strategy against the Black Rat

KilleRat, the instant kill

KilleRat places a one-turn state on all enemy entities in a cross around the Black Rat. A target under KilleRat that takes Earth or Neutral damage dies. If a character survived the Black Rat's turn with this state, keep them away from any source of Earth or Neutral damage until their next turn.

The spell only comes back every 7 turns: giving the Black Rat a summon, or a sacrificed character, solves the problem for a long time.

Korrattion, the elemental trap

Korrattion protects an ally of the Black Rat for 3 turns: every Earth or Neutral hit fully heals it. Recast every 2 turns up to 8 range, it can target any monster. Hit it with Air, Fire, or Water, or switch targets while the effect lasts.

The monsters of Black Rat's Moumousetrap

Five level 102 rats, around 2,000 HP, that heal, teleport, and remove AP, MP, or range. The resistances in red are their weaknesses.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Shrynk Rat — it heals its allies in an area, Black Rat included, and summons.
2. Flatt Rat — it reduces your Heals Received, removes range, and boosts the pack.
3. Rat Lly, then Rat Phink — they teleport onto you and break your distance.
4. Rat Shio — resistant across the board, it is mostly a nuisance on contact: slow it down.

Preparing your run through Black Rat's Moumousetrap

A level 110 dungeon of medium difficulty, where the danger mostly comes from healing at the wrong time. People come for Trapped Like A Rat, the Brakmar quests, and the Ochre Dofus soul, with a Soul Stone for Big Souls (captures up to level 150).

How to enter Black Rat's Moumousetrap

The entrance is in the Bowels of Brakmar, the city's sewers, at [-28,37] ; the nearest zaap is The Breastplate's [-26,37]. There are three ways to open it: a Black Rat's Moumousetrap Key (consumed), the key ring if it is registered there, or the automatic group search.

Crafting the Black Rat's Moumousetrap Key

It is crafted at a handyman. Five ingredients drop from the dungeon's rats: Rat Lly's Old Book, Flatt Rat's Ear, Shrynk Rat's Magic Skull, Rat Phink's Rusty Pipe, and Dried Meat. Grey Sea Bream (fishing), Edelweiss, and Rye (harvesting) complete the recipe.

Which team to bring against the Black Rat

Air and Fire characters. The Black Rat loses 20% in these two elements and resists Earth by 50%. An Earth character remains useful against the pack in the first rooms, but becomes a risk against Korrattion.

A careful healer. Bring healing or protection, but save them for the characters without Black Plague. Life steal is your best ally for the marked target.

A summon with strong lock. Bloqueuse, Sacrificed, or Pandawasta in contact with the Black Rat: it takes KilleRat in your place, and the spell doesn't come back for 7 turns.

The classes that are comfortable here. Anything that hits from a distance in Air or Fire. The Sadida (Bloqueuse, Sacrificed) and the Pandawa (Pandawasta) offer the Black Rat a summon to cast KilleRat on. The Pandawa is also useful for Blitzkrieg, with Vulnerability, and for Impertinence, by carrying an ally into contact with a monster.

The six achievements of Black Rat's Moumousetrap

Each achievement gives 5,343,000 XP and 2 Black Rat Mane, and Duo doubles the XP; Sidekick gives 8,014,500 XP. Duo requires nothing more than the basic strategy.

Blitzkrieg

Every enemy attacked must die before its next turn. You need enough damage to remove all of the Black Rat's HP in one turn, in Air and Fire. Boost yourself and increase its damage taken, for example with the Pandawa's Vulnerability, before starting. Open on it with the character who plays right after it: you will have the whole team's turn. Poisons act before the start of its turn and complete the challenge if they finish it off.

Impertinence

Every ally must end their turn next to an enemy. All the difficulty comes from KilleRat. Three counters: sacrifice a character or a summon in contact with it, then kill it before the 7-turn cooldown; stick to another monster and kill the Black Rat first, from a distance, before it casts KilleRat; or trap it in a corner between two or three of its henchmen, with enough lock, and focus it. A Pandawa can carry an ally into contact with a monster, and sticking to an enemy summon like the Splat Rat is enough.

Special: Ratch-Up

The Black Rat must take no damage before all the other enemies are dead. Kill the whole pack while staying away from the Black Rat, which must never be able to cast KilleRat. Watch your areas and your spreading effects so you don't hit it by accident.

Duo

Two characters maximum, fewer than 20 turns. No particular difficulty: the basic strategy is enough. Everything must be finished by the end of turn 19.

Sidekick: Rats… literally or figuratively

Four characters minimum, including a companion among Rapiat, Plunder, Ougicle, and Hulkrap. The basic strategy doesn't change. Keep the companion out of KilleRat's reach and don't heal them if they carry Black Plague.

Black Rat's Moumousetrap as a guild Expedition

The Moumousetrap also exists as a Guild Expedition. There are no rooms: you go straight to the Black Rat, with no invulnerability or constraining mechanic. The danger is the enemies' enormous damage:

• the Black Rat applies stackable Air poisons to two targets per turn: they disappear if the target receives a heal, so heal the poisoned characters;
• a character marked by Memento Mori sees the Black Rat teleport onto them on the next turn, hit them, and make them unhealable for 2 turns: protect them beforehand;
• it also applies a 50% vulnerability and a black glyph that pulls toward its center;
• the Shrynk Rat hits in an area up to three times per turn and heals its allies in the area: move away from the Black Rat when it is your target;
• the Flatt Rat massively boosts the rats by reducing their resistances, the Rat Lly teleports onto you, the Rat Phink hits hard on contact;
• all monsters except the Black Rat have 50% Air resistance, and the Black Rat, with no invulnerability and few resistances, is quickly killed first: this is the best strategy, with healing or protection.
