How to rescue Ratatoskr in Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals' Season 1.5 is here, and it's introduced Midnight Seasons II, a new Event with limited-time Achievements to complete and Event-exclusive prizes to unlock. One of these Achievements, "Rescue Rachel Oskar." challenges players to free Ratatoskr, the monstrous squirrel at the center of the new Central Park map. How to jump right into Central Park in Marvel Rivals Image via Destructoid Empire of Eternal Night Central Park is a Convey map, and Millionaire's Row's resident payload is Ratatosr, the messenger-carrying squirrel from Norse mythology. Depending on which team you're on, your goal is to free Ratatoskr from his prison and escort him to Dracula's throne room or keep Yggdrasil's mail courier from reaching the King of Vampires until the clock runs down. Usually, Marvel Rivals doesn't let you choose which map you play in, so unlocking map-specific Achievements can devolve into a frustrating game of chance. Luckily, the developers over at NetEase are giving players a brief window to jump straight into Central Park. Here's how to ensure you'll play a match in Central Park in Marvel Rivals. Click the "Play" button on Marvel Rivals' home screen." Once you're in the "Play" menu, click the "Change Mode" option over the "Start" button. Click the "Quick Match - Central Park" button. Hit the "Start" button on the "Play" menu. The game should send you into a match playing on Central Park. A quick note before we move on: the option to jump into a Central Park match won't be around forever. I don't know how long this option will be available; it could last until Season 1.5 ends in April 2025 or disappear tomorrow. So hop in and unlock the Achievement while you still have an easy way to do it. How to free Ratatoshkr in Marvel Rivals Image via Destructoid Freeing Ratatoshkr from his chains works like releasing Spider-Zero from her prison in Spider Islands does. You need to be on the team tasked with freeing Ratsoshkr, so you may have to play a few rounds until you end up on the pro-demonic Sciuridae side of the match. If you land on the "keep the squirrel in its cage" squad, take some time to memorize the map layout so you know how to get to Ratatoskr's cell. Once you're on the right team, fight your way to the center of the map and maintain control over Ratatohkr's cell until you've filled all three slots on the wheel at the top of the scene. Depending on how many of your team's players are in the area, this could happen in less than a minute or stretch into Overtime. Ultimately, releasing Ratatoskhr boils down to working together with your teammates. If you play Vanguard, make sure you're the one tanking the enemy's attacks. If Duelists are more your persuasion, focus on rival players raking up big KO streaks. And if you're a Strategist main, do everything you can to keep your teammates alive. If you work together, you'll bust out the Marvel Universe's most terrifying squirrel and net yourself the "Rescue Rachel Oskar" Achievement.
