Before coming here, be sure you have the job board quest to kill rats from New Harston. This is the home of the Rat Lord, another Avernite crazy. He'll taunt you from his ledge. Go ahead and chase after him. Go down the stairs, and you'll get into a series of fights with the rat lord's rats. Foul rats are the end rats of the first two, and an oozing stinkrat is the last one of the third. When you make it out, be on the lookout for a secret door that gives you access to a fine steel cache. Head a bit north and you'll come to a room with some swamp boots. Head up the north passageway to face the Rat Lord.

The rat lord calls some well-bred rats to help him fight. Kill him and he'll drop a bonding knife.

When you get your boat, come here briefly to pick up some herbs and use a stairway to get an "archer's band" ring. You can also use the little land jut for a quick and easy way to kill the rat king. That's it.
