Rat problem

Kouryuu

Landlubber
While surfing the net found some interesting info on CoAS, got curios and even reinstalled the game.

Now, one of the more annoying things in the game are rats. They eat (or spoil) anything you can carry. Food, weapons, cargo. They are a REAL pain and very annoying.

Here's how to deal with them. You'll need some cash to get this done. Say, 30 to 50k, depending on how costly the prostitutes you like are. :)

Go to a brothel, the cheaper the better. Port Royale is expensive. I used the one on Martinique.

Find a lady inside and tell her that she is the most beautiful creature you've ever seen. If she tells you to quit the sweet talk, go to another lady. If she likes your flirting, note the name.

Now, go to the madame and tell her the name of this woman that you want. You then go upstairs for some rather silly moaning and a CENSORED screen. You must do this at least five times. DO NOT leave town during this sequence else the lady may leave the brothel. Instead, have sex, go sleep in the tavern and repeat. You will lose some reputation.

Beginning with the 5th encounter, speak with the lady after sex. Sooner or later (5-8 tries) she'll tell you that she has fallen for you and that she has information that may be important. She'll then tell you the location of a treasure that another captain/customer told her of. Write down the name, it will not appear in your logs.

There are four potential locations for this treasure. From just North of Peurto Bello to North of Belize. If you have trouble finding it, there's maps over at Pirates Ahoy that show where everything is. Or just ask here and I'll tell you. This could be considered mildly cheating - this is what all those in-game maps are for. So, use those if you want to play it straight.

Anyway, when you find the location look for the Rat God totem in a chest. There is nothing to fight at the destination - just and ungaurded chest. Sometimes on the beach, sometimes in the caves. Sometimes there might be another totem laying around too depending on location. As long as you keep it on you, the rats will never bother you again. :)


Got it from
http://www.forum.thelib.com/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3847.0

Most of it i can do just the part after the 5 days kinda never happens, yes dialog changes, but no clue, no falling for me.
Would like to ask if this is true or some kinda joke, cuz i cant get it working, tried wooing her for months, even made a new characters to see if authority made difference.
Does someone have done it?
 
You can edit the game to allow you to start with the rat totem or you can use cheats to turn the rats off or you can install this mod which will not stop the rats from eating things but it will reduce what they can eat ie no more eating gun powder, shot types etc.

Warning
If you have installed COAS Combined Mods or any mods that have made changes to the file included in this mod, then do not install this mod. This mod is compatable with the base game only. If you have COAS CM V2 installed then you already have these changes included.
 
Well, the rat totem is real, but that method...I don't know. :shrug
is there then an other way to obtain it?
I did not know the method of brothels. xD:
However, rats are very annoying, and it is good to have different totems. Work only on the ship that the captain with totem. Not just a totem for the entire fleet!
Find the totems in various missions
- Sharp's quest (from the spanish commander in the pearl's village)
- Flying Dutchman (in the cabin of Davy Jones)
- 8^ quest Dutch Governor (help Chumaceiro), in the treasure
- 2^ quest Spanish Governor (work for the Holy Inquisition) in the treasure on Bermuda.
and others...I do not remember

Is it the Tlazolteotl totem, cuz as you kindly pointed out i have 15 totems, i thought that there is one more, but a i now recall my ship never lost important cargo and i thought that my 100 in commerce skill made the day, but may be its one of my totems. :facepalm silly me. must give it away no need for the totem in an escort ship better give it to a merchant vessel.
thanks guys and girls of course, will try to do the brothels method for confirmation and will post here in case of success.
 
:will I got it! :will
It really did work in the end, not as fast as i would have liked but she pointed me to Gulf of death near Beliz where i found that ugly piece of stone called rat god, no wonder the rats left my ship, i would not like to have it on my wall too.
the best thing is i even got my gold back, there was 150k in the chest.
i was Rank 2 so it is good for a early game.
Happy gaming Mates! :nk
 
You can also pick up several Rat God totems in CoAS if you want to give them to your companions in your squadron.
 
Your annoyying tactic works, My parents thought i was watching Corn..... when I was playing the game full blast sound..... I told them the game was stupid... it got a CENSORED Screen and only make moaning sound... mom shutup... dad laugh... and that's pretty much all that happen BECAUSE of the MOANING LOL

Anyway,

This tactic works.
But annoyying !

Where exactly did she tell me to go ?!
She said something about Gulf Of San Juan De Nero / Del Nero / De Netro. Something !
Where is that?!
It's a Gray Whitish Treasure box right? but i can't find it anywhere..... Help Me!

P.S ... Peter Blood... get near San Juan I'm Dead...
