Accept the Event Quest (Online)
The 'Like a Fire Hidden by Sand' event quest can be accepted by talking to Alma or opening the quest menu from your Tent while Online. You must be HR 9 or higher to accept the quest, so if your Hunter Rank is too low, progress through the main story first.
Starting at Area 10 is Recommended
The target monster, Rathian, initially spawns near Area 10, so starting from Area 10 allows for a more efficient approach to its location.
Hunt the Rathian
Rathian's weaknesses are Thunder and Dragon Element, but crafting specialized equipment isn't necessary. If you already have a weapon with Thunder or Dragon Element, equip it to improve your farming efficiency.
