Strategy Points

1Your chance to attack is when it is on the ground.
2When Rathalos is flying, you can bring him down with a flash bomb.
3Prepare for poison attacks.
Your chance to attack is when it is on the ground.

Your chance to attack Rathalos is when the monster is on the ground. The monster has plenty of openings compared to when it is flying, so attack aggressively when it is on ground.

When Rathalos flying, you can bring him down with a flash bomb.

When Rathalos flies into the air, you can knock it down with a flash bomb. After it falls, it will be down, which is a great chance to attack. However, If you do it repeatedly, your opponent will gradually become resistant to it, and the downtime will become shorter or you may not be able to take it down at all so be careful.

Prepare for poison attacks.

The tail attack of the Rathalos has the effect of inflicting poison. Therefore, you need to take cures or preventive measures such as bringing an antidote.

Tips for Fighting Rathalos

1Prioritize evading / dodging when Rathalos is in the air
2Avoid facing the enemy in front and move around

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.
