Rat Pits
Written By JD Morgan
Special Thanks to Neo Avatars & Mole After completing the Rat Catchers quest, you will have access to a minigame - The Rat Pits. Each of the rat pits is for different growths of cats - eg: lazy cats. The rules may vary but the general idea is that two players duel and gamble with their cats, and the cat that catches the most rats wins. The number of rats killed is set though. If your cat either dies or runs away from the fight your opponent will win. Warning: your cat may die during this minigame, if it does you have to buy a new cat from Gertrude. Locations There are 4 different rat pits across RuneScape. Each pit is for a different growth of cat - kitten, grown cat, overgrown cat and wily.
Getting There Kitten rat pit in East Ardougne - to get to the minigame you must go to the house in the northwestern area of East Ardougne. Talk to Jimmy Dazzler to start the minigame.  Grown cat rat pit in Varrock - To get to the Varrock Rat Pit, go near the start point of the Family Crest quest. Next to a manhole will be Hooknosed Jack. Talk to him to start.  Overgrown cat rat pit in Keldagrim - To start the overgrown cat rat pit minigame you must talk to Smokin' Joe, who can be found in the basement of the Laughing Miner pub.  Wily cat rat pit in Port Sarim - To stat the Wily Cat rat pit minigame you must talk to Felkrash in Port Sarim. He can be found slight northeast of the Port Sarim fishing shop.  There are only 2 requirements for this minigame - you have a Kitten, grown cat, overgrown cat or wily cat. Lazy cats cannot be used in the rat pits. The other requirement is to have completed the Rat Catcher quest. You need money to place bets (about 20k is suggested), and an Amulet of Catspeak (obtained from the Icthlarin's Little Helper quest.) to tell your cat about what tactics to use. Before you can actually play, you need to challenge another player. Right click the player and choose the challenge option. Wait until they accept and a screen like this will appear:  Use the plus (+)and minus (-) to place a bet that your cat will win. The minimum amount per round is 100gp. Each player must bet the same as their opponent. A confirmation screen will be shown, so you can confirm your bet. If you accept (which you have to do in order to play the minigame) your cat will run into the pit and start attacking rats. A certain amount must be caught in order to win the minigame. The amount of rat's that must be caught are: Kitten - 5 rats Tactics There are tactics you and your cat can use in the pits. If you are wearing your amulet of Catspeak the following option list will appear when your cat enters:  Choose a tactic and your cat will catch rats using that tactic. The tactics and what they do are:
Choosing either of the cautious options is recommended for new players in the rat pits, whereas the offensive options should be used for more experienced rat pits players. Each game has a time limit of 2 minutes Winning If you win you will obviously be rewarded. You can win by either catching the required amount of rats faster than your opponent, or if your opponents cat runs away/dies. You will get your money back as well as the money your opponent betted. Losing Obviously there has to be a loser. If you lose, you will lose that money that you bet before the game started. The ways you can lose are if your cat runs away/dies or if your opponents cat gets the required amount of rats first. Drawing There will not be a winner every game, as sometimes you may draw. Each game has a time limit of 2 minutes, so if neither cat has caught the required amount of rats, and they are both still in the game when the time is up then the game will be declared a draw, and each player will get their money back. |
