Hero Siege Pest Control Quest - Kill Fragrat in Rat Den

Pest Control is one of the first sidequests you can take, and it is short: one target, one objective.

What are the Pest Control quest steps?

Step	Where	What to do
1	1-1 Outskirts of Inoya	Talk to Ahriman
2	Rat Den	Find and kill Fragrat
3	1-1 Outskirts of Inoya	Return to Ahriman

The single objective is recorded as Fragrat slain.

Where is the Rat Den?

It is the early-game area reached from the Outskirts of Inoya, and it is the zone experienced players use as a baseline for whether a build is functioning at all — the standing advice to a struggling new player is that no class is so bad it cannot farm Rat Den.

If you cannot clear Rat Den, the problem is the build rather than the zone, and that is worth knowing before you push further.

Who is Ahriman?

An early questgiver at 1-1 Outskirts of Inoya, with his own questline. Pest Control is the first of his quests; others in the same chain include Hunger Issue, a collection quest.

Ahriman is distinct from Örre at 4-0 Dhorn Farum, who runs the later chains including Seething Souls and the Awesome Ring.

Is Pest Control worth doing?

Yes, simply because it costs nothing. You are passing through the Rat Den during normal early progression, the target is in that zone, and the quest is a single kill. There is no farming step and no difficulty requirement.

The reward is not stated in the sources behind this page.

A note on quest categories

The quest is catalogued as HS 2.0 Act Sidequests, which is how the game’s data groups optional act content as opposed to campaign progression. If you are tracking completion, sidequests like this one are separate from the main path.

The quest overview distinguishes this side quest from longer progression chains. For other documented early objectives, compare the Garden Colossus hunt and the Seething Souls route instead of assuming every quest uses the same map or reward pattern.

Next step

Take it from Ahriman on your first pass through the Outskirts of Inoya — Fragrat is in a zone you will already be clearing.
