V Rising: Where to find Nibbles the Putrid Rat

Tracking down Nibbles the Putrid Rat in V Rising is one of the most confusing tasks you're likely to encounter early on.

V Rising 1.0 Hot Fix #1

Greetings Vampires!

We give the dust no time to settle on our coffins! We’re hard at work slaying the first round of bugs following our full launch. We’re doing everything to make your bloody massacre across Vardoran as dignified and bug free as it should be, and in the spirit of that we offer the following bug fixes.

The hotfix, which will begin at 7 UTC and will be rolled out over Official Servers over the next 30-60 minutes, will have the following changes:

Fixed an issue where players were unable to mount horses when using a gamepad.
Fixed an issue where the Incursion Events would not run correctly on select PvP servers, causing all events to stop running for an additional 24 hours+.
Fixed an issue where cosmetic items could be salvaged into high tier materials than intended.
Fixed an issue where the client could crash when using the “Fill Wallpaper” feature in large castles.
Fixed an issue where the Castle Heart blood essence drain modifier server setting would not work correctly when modified.
Fixed a few issues related to castle relocation that could cause flying roofs to stay in place as well as blocking the possibility to build new castles in the affected territory.
Fixed an issue where saplings/trees planted in growing plots in the castle got stuck in an invisible state blocking them from growing as well as blocking dismantle.
Fixed a rendering issue where terrain did not render correctly if viewed through the walls of a castle that was in the “disabled defenses” state (PvP).
Fixed an issue where rulesets in the advanced settings menu did not update the “save” button correctly, causing ruleset changes to not apply unless the player manually altered a setting before exiting the menu.
Fixed an issue where players were unable to save settings after loading a preset.
Fixed a rendering issue with the rim light effect causing it to not work on all types of units.
Fixed a rendering issue on clouds while in bat form.

If you're having issues with the game, make sure to take a look at our known bugs and fixes to see if there's a potential solution to get you back into Vardoran as quickly as possible!

All V Rising bosses, locations, and rewards

What are all of the V Rising bosses? As V Rising rises out of early access, there have been some changes to its bosses. A few new additions, changes in their rewards, and level adjustments. For the sake of completion, we have the list of every single boss in V Rising including Simon Belmont who joins the lineup of bosses as part of a crossover with Castlevania.

One of the major changes coming with V Rising 1.0 is the way you obtain spells. Instead of bosses dropping specific spells, you now earn Spell Points within their respective element and tier which the player can spend freely. Later on, you also have the option to reset your spend Spell Points so there is no reason to fuss over which ones to pick. For more on that check out our ultimate V Rising beginner guide here.
