(Alternate Method) Taming Radioactive Subject--Green Rat

Unread post by Earthen_Whispers »

My hunter friend wanted to tame the new green rat (Radioactive Subject), but didn't have the rocket pack yet that drops from delves. With a little climbing on her part, she got part of the way up, then I flew from a nearby rooftop with my Evoker by using Glide and Hover. Once you get line of sight, the hunter can be brought up to the roof using Rescue and the rat tamed.

You'll need to go to a building north of the location of the Radioactive Subject and climb to the top using stairs inside the building and then some parkour in the alley on the north side of that building. There may be other ways to reach the top, but I had to jump from the balcony, then climb a pointed chimney (jump and glide). Once you get on top of the building and head to the south face, you can reach the platform where the Radioactive Subject sleeps by jumping and gliding, followed by a quick 2-3 Hovers forward. You can get a third charge by using Time Spiral.

There are a few gear spokes that stick out at the top that can be used to get line of sight on the hunter to bring them up with Rescue. I've included screenshots of most of the steps: hope this helps somebody! Enjoy your awesome rat. :)

Just tamed it myself. Tho I did it solo and working on making a video on how I did it. I still haven't gotten the rocket pack from the Delves either and many of the toys that could toss you in the air or made you jump higher don't work as they are now only usable in their corresponding zone/expansion.. (Atleast the toys I had in my collection) :(

I also wanted to add, there's an additional solo method where you can just run across the pipes that are high above the city, all it requires is a goblin glider of some sort to get down to the roof. There's a detailed comment on the Radioactive Subject's wowhead page.

I went on the pipes, used no gliders. There was one place that was hard to jump and took me two attempts and third ones a charm. I was able to reach it with no glider, I just jumped and harpooned to the rat, and boom tamed it, SV hunter’s harpoon is pretty neat for traversal

It can be done without a glider. When you are in the pipe in front of the rat, using Disengage you get to the building

There's another unconventional and easy way to do it; The Weasley Method. I made a quick video showing how to get to the rat with just the D.R.I.V.E. and a feathermane. Just requires a little parkour that anyone can do with ease.
