Tips for Fighting Rathalos

Prioritize Evading Attacks When Rathalos Is In The Air

Rathalos has more troublesome attacks while mid-air, so until you get used to it, prioritize dodging attacks. Melee weapon users will have an especially difficult time on attacking the enemy, so if you want to attack while Rathalos is flying, it is a good idea to prepare a long-range weapon as a sub-weapon.

Avoid Facing The Enemy In Front And Move Around

Rathalos has many attacks from the front, such as breath and tail attacks, so avoid the front and move around. However, there are also spinning attacks, so do not let your guard down and watch the enemy's movement.
