Royal Rat Vanguard, Dark Souls Wiki

Not to be confused with Royal Rat Authority. The Royal Rat Vanguard is a boss in Dark Souls II. The Royal Rat Vanguard is fought in the Grave of Saints, past the second bonfire. This location is also very useful to farm souls before killing the boss, as the smaller rats continue to spawn and grant a fair amount of souls each. It should be noted that killing the boss will stop rats from spawning in the area as when the boss was alive. The Royal Rat Vanguard has a very similar appearance and size
