Nobody Saves the World Rat guide

by Chris Hyde on January 18, 2022

The Rat form will be the first one you unlock in your adventure in Nobody Saves the World. It is essential for navigating small spaces, and is the only form small enough to squeeze through the small gaps in the dungeon you find yourself in, early in your journey. Being the first full form you unlock in Nobody Saves the World, the Rat introduces a swathe of various options for you to experiment with and is a solid form choice throughout the early adventure.

Tips

The Rat form instantly feels like a step up from the Nobody form you begin with. Its attacks are quick, pack a punch, and can instill a poison effect over time. You’ll find yourself going in quick with Gnaw to do damage, and backing it up with residual poison. You can then tactfully use Consume to restore health that you will lose because you’ve had to get up close and personal. Detonate is great for clearing crowds that have been poisoned, especially if you find yourself surrounded by a swarm.
