- ✅ Location 6 is at 44.8 and 86.6.
- ✅ A large rat hole near the red obelisk in the ruins of the old castle.
- ✅ Various types of paths where you can build your base.
- ✅ Either use the space at the very front and build a relatively large crafting area and eject medium-sized tames.
- ✅ Or take one of the narrow corridors.
05:46 - 06:10
10. 📍 Location 7 (7.8, 65.2): Underwater Rat Hole with Two Entrances
- ✅ Location 7 is underwater at 7.8 and 65.2.
- ✅ Its two entrances make it a little easier to raid.
- ✅ However, the area can easily be expanded with vacuums and then a smaller crafting area or storage space can be set up.
- ✅ The space is not large, but can be used well to hide and defend valuable things.
06:11 - 06:47
11. 📍 Location 8 (4.5, 46.7): Small Underwater Spot for Teleporter Farming
- ✅ The spot at 4.5 and 46.7 is underwater again.
- ✅ The spot itself is relatively small and only offers space for about 3 to 4 vacuums.
- ✅ Since the spot is near a relatively large amount of resources, it is less suitable for storing creatures or loot.
- ✅ However, if you place a teleporter in this rat hole, you can easily do underwater farming runs and teleport your loot directly to your main base.
06:48 - 07:21
12. 📍 Location 9: (between Redwood and Snow Biome): Medium-Sized Rat Hole with Small Entrance
- ✅ The ninth rat hole is located between the Redwood section and the Snow Biome near the green obelisk.
- ✅ It is a medium-sized rat hole with a small entrance behind one of the fallen trees.
- ✅ The rat hole is relatively large and you can easily bring crafting areas, storage and creatures into it.
- ✅ You can easily go through the small hole, but creatures don't fit through.
07:22 - 08:08
13. 📍 Location 10 (6, 60.7): Enormous Underwater Rat Hole with Small Entrance
- ✅ The 10th rat hole is located at 6 and 60.7.
- ✅ This rat hole is enormous and has a small entrance.
- ✅ It's super hard to raid.
- ✅ Not only medium-sized creatures fit into the rat hole, but you can also build a super large crafting area.
08:09 - 08:31
14. 📍 Location 11 (11.1, 65.6): Underwater Rat Hole with Two Entrances on the Same Side
- ✅ The 11th rat hole is located at 11.1 and 65.6.
- ✅ The fact that it has two entrances is not really a problem, as they are on the same side, which means that all turrets will fire at both entrances anyway.
- ✅ It offers space for medium-sized tames and a crafting area with storage.
08:32 - 09:33
15. 📍 Location 12 (28.1, 48.3): Cave Without Cave Damage Behind the Waterfalls
- ✅ The 12th rat hole is not a rat hole in the true sense of the word.
- ✅ It would be much better to say that it is a cave without cave damage.
- ✅ It is located at 28.1 and 48.3 behind the waterfalls.
- ✅ There are two entrances to this cave, but they are quite close together and on the same side, which makes it a little easier to defend the cave.
- ✅ The space is super large and there is enough space for a good crafting area, lots of storage and all kinds of creatures.
09:34 - 10:33
16. 📍 Location 13 (40.9, 31): Huge Rat Hole with Cliff Platforms
- ✅ If you want to build in the rat hole at 40.9 and 31, you have to turn right when you enter.
- ⚠️ Under no circumstances build on the left side, as there are holes in the mesh and you can easily enter the rat hole from above.
- ✅ The space in this rat hole is huge and since you can build up to the ceiling with cliff platforms, you can build a base that is super hard to raid.
- ✅ With cliff platforms you can build along the entire length at the top, creating a huge space that can be used for building, breeding and crafting.
10:34 - 11:44
17. 📍 Location 14: The Largest Rat Hole on the List
- ✅ The 14th rat hole is the largest on the entire list and should only be built by large tribes.
- ✅ With less than three players, it makes little sense to build in this rat hole, as you will probably not be able to fill its turrets.
- ✅ The rat hole has enough space to breed all the creatures that exist.
- ✅ Due to the fact that there is a natural platform at the top of the rat hole and you don't even have to place cliffs, this rat hole is probably the strongest on the list if the tribe is large enough.
11:45 - 12:29
18. 📍 Location 15 (40.4, 48.3): Under the Big Bridge
- ✅ The 15th threshold is located at 40.4 and 48.3 in the large bridge that connects the snow biome and the canyon.
- ✅ It is quite easy to find, as you have the blue obelisk on one side and the green obelisk on the other.
- ✅ Under the broken pillows you can now enter the rat hole.
- ✅ Inside you will see a huge room where you can go all the way to the end.
- ✅ There you can build a really good base.
12:30 - 12:52
19. 📢 TBS Server Advertisement
- ✅ TBS is releasing seven brand new caves on Ragnarok.
- ✅ Whether you build, explore or raid, TBS has it all.
- ✅ The PvE bases give former PvP players the same thrill, but without the grind.
12:53 - 13:45
20. 📍 Location 16 (38.9, 45.4): Rat Hole in the Pillar
- ✅ The rat hole in the pillar at 38.9 and 45.4 is one of the rat holes where I considered whether I should even include it in the video.
- ✅ The rat hole is located in the pillar and can be entered through a small hole.
- ✅ After falling into the hole, you are underwater and can swim into a small gap until you get stuck.
- ✅ With chairs you can now squeeze from chair to chair through the gap, so that you fall into a large open area at the other end, which you can completely build and also throw out creatures like Tusus.
13:46 - 14:40
21. 📍 Location 17 (24.4, 27.5): Unknown Rat Hole in the Cliff
- ✅ The last rat hole is located at 24.4 and 27.5.
- ✅ If you see the blue obelisk and are on this edge, just go down and you will see a small hole in the cliff that you can easily go through.
- ✅ This is a rather unknown rat hole and in my opinion quite good, as it has a pleasant size, especially for the early game, and is quite well located.
- ✅ It offers enough space for crafting areas, storage and even medium to large creatures that you can breed.
