How To Acquire Rat Bone and Rat Skin in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Rats are surprisingly tricky to hunt inHorizon Zero Dawn— not because they’re tough, but because they’re so small and quick that tracking them down can be a hassle. Hunting them feels like a game of Tom and Jerry, and their spawn points are also less common than those of other animals like Boars and Foxes.
For consistent rat farming, head to a familiar spot: theRuins just to the right of Mother’s Watch. This is the same locationAloy explored as a childat the start of the game. Once you reach the bottom of the Ruins, draw your bow and get ready — plenty of rats will spawn here, so keep hunting until you’ve gathered all the Rat Bones and Skins you need.
