Rasknitt | Bosses in Warhammer Vermintide 2 Warhammer Vermintide 2 Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 02 August 2018

Rasknitt is a boss that can be encountered at the end of The Skittergate mission in Warhammer: Vermintide 2. You can access it once you complete all the available acts.

The boss' skills and behavior:

1. Rasknitt starts the fight mounting a monster called Deathrattler - an upgraded Stormfiend with an additional cannon. During this part the boss is protected by a magic shield that makes him invulnerable to damage.
2. He often uses teleportation and he moves around the entire battlefield. Rasknitt also teleports to places that are unreachable by the players.
3. Rasknitt doesn't have melee attacks. Instead, he casts lightning bolts that deal damage over time. Besides that, he can also cause a small shock wave that pushes back nearby heroes.
4. He summons lesser Skaven. However, special types of enemies can also appear (e.g. Gas Rat).

Tips and ways of fighting with this boss:

1. Start with killing Rasknitt's mount - aim at Deathrattler's head or attack the creature on its back.
2. Rasknitt has no armor which means that you can attack him wherever you want to. However, you have to be fast and keep looking around - the boss likes to teleport and change location.
3. Rasknitt's lightning bolts are rather slow - keep an eye on their trajectory and try to avoid them. You can hide behind a few objects that can be found on the arena.
4. Besides the regular enemies, a horde summoned by the boss can also have special opponents. Stay vigilant and eliminate them as fast as you can - a Gas Rat's bombs will make this fight more difficult.
