Congrats, you've just beaten The Last of Us Part 2's freakiest encounter.


Kill the stalker like you would any other enemy and get out of the hospital. After crawling through a vent to get out of the room you're stuck in, you'll get pulled out by one of the Stalkers that came off the Rat King during the fight. Be nimble, keep the pressure on, and you will eventually defeat the Rat King.

Your strategy doesn't need to change, just be aware for the stalker trying to flank you. Once you deal enough damage, a stalker will fall out of the Rat King, and while you'll also have to deal with it, it's a good sign that you're dealing a lot of damage. Try for headshots from a distance with the Hunting Pistol, or any gun you've upgraded with a scope. Hit him with fire then flee for cover, to scour for possible supplies, craft, and heal. Pipe bombs and the flamethrower are particularly effective here. Also, don't worry about conserving resources during this fight, this is when you'll need that ammo the most. If the Rat King grabs Abby it's instant death, so you'll have to keep your distance and dodge as needed. Stay moving and unload everything you've got: Once Abby and the Rat King fall through the floor, you'll have no choice but to fight the grotesque beast. If you're having trouble getting to that point, follow the yellow exit arrows on the walls. Jump over the obstacles in your way at the right time and follow the necessary quick time events and you should fall through the floor in the arena where you fight the Rat King in no time. It will always be right on your tail, but you should be okay if you never slow down or turn around. This is one instance where being prepared truly is half the battle.Īlways keep moving during the chase sequence: When the Rat King is first encountered, Abby will try running from it. Make sure all your weapons are fully loaded so you don't lose precious seconds in the heat of combat. Craft all of the health kits and pipe bombs you can beforehand, and try to conserve ammo in all of the enemy encounters prior to the Rat King fight. Have enough supplies going in: This can be a bit tricky to manage in a stealth survival game, but you'll want to be as prepared as possible going into the Rat King fight.
