Just started playing NotR again and am having a weird brand-new experience. This is really early in the game, I just got into Khorinis.

I ran out along the road from Khorinis to the Dead Harpy and

and jumped up to the ledge where you find the militia short sword and +4 STR ring and ring of wooden skin.

Normally, I continue along and eventually take out

two or maybe three giant rats.

But this time I just jumped down again with the booty and continued on the original road. So, around the bend near the turn-off to

the farm

suddenly THUMP! SPLAT! giant rats were flying through the air to their doom. I can only assume it was the ones I've always met

on the ledge

.

Next I went to finish off Lester's valley. Took out all the wild life and ended up clearing out

the cave where four rats live, where Lotar's tomb is. So there I am just outside the cave mouth, battling the rats

and suddenly THUMP! SPLAT! once again giant rats were flying through the air to their doom. Three of them. I am hopeless at visualising the map well enough to understand where these Giant Suicidal Rats were jumping down from.

This was new to me, and I reckon I've played the early game of NotR at least 7 times before.

Has anyone else experienced this? And can anyone figure out where the second rat rain came from?

It's good to be back in NotR.

Usually it only rains lizards from above Lotar's cave, but there are also some rats on the cliff above. You can get there by turning right at Cavalorn's fire (when you come from Xardas' tower) and explore the cliffs there. Two boars, some meatbugs, several lizards and rats and (in chapter 2 onwards) an amulet.

Thank you, Thorwyn, very interesting and helpful, as always.
