The first rat in More Pest Control can be found in the hallways the leads to the Dining Hall. Go the back left portion of the Grand Hall and venture through the door toward the narrow hallway leading to the Grand Hall. Here, players should be able to spot this rat.

Bear in mind, these rats will scurry and can leave the rooms you may find them in. Be sure to listen out for the rat’s noises if you lose sight. While this rat may make it to the Grand Hall, the rodent will be easy to dispatch once it gets caught on a chair.

The second rat can be found just outside of the Armory. If you are coming from the Great Hall, go toward the door on the left side. This hallway will be fairly dark, though you should still be able to spot this rat standing in the middle of the red carpet.

The third rat can be the trickiest to locate. First, players need to reach Chapter Ten before being able to access the room where the rat is located. Players may spot the final rat during Chapter Nine while playing as Ashley, however you cannot kill this rat to complete the request until freeing Leon.

Once reaching Chapter Ten, go through the doors leading to the new room and venture to the location where you originally assumed control of Ashley. This hallway will be very dark, however with the flashlight you should be able to spot the rat.
