Phase One
The Rat King boss fight
begins with a chase sequence
As the mutant forces its way into the ambulance where Abby is located, she finds herself fleeing through the hospital corridors pursued relentlessly by the Rat King. Throughout this ordeal, the creature repeatedly smashes through walls to obstruct Abby’s path. Gamers must remain vigilant because being cornered during this pursuit means an immediate game over.
Phase Two
After the conclusion of the chase scene, Abby and the Rat King will tumble into a laboratory.
resulting in an all-out confrontation
The initial step for players is to flee towards the opposite end of the laboratory to restore their health. When prepared, collect the shotgun and fire two shots at the beast before retreating again. Continue cycling through this tactic until the Rat King advances to the subsequent stage of combat.
Phase Three
During the third stage, the Rat King will detach one of the beings from itself and dispatch it towards Abby. This segment of the battle proves to be the most challenging since maintaining your position becomes nearly impossible. The smaller entity moves swiftly and can rapidly close the distance between you. Seize this moment to flee and collect all available supplies within the laboratory.

So, keep running from one room to another, and try to unleash the flamethrower when the Rat King is approaching you in a straight line. Once you deal enough damage, the main body of the Rat King will die. Now, Abby will chase down the smaller creature and put it out of its misery, marking the end of the Rat King boss fight in
