Hunting Arch-tempered Rey Dau will unlock the ability to craft the 'Rey Dau γ (Gamma)' series. In previous games, Arch-tempered equipment was based on αβ versions, so it is expected that the Rey Dau equipment will feature enhanced abilities, such as the activation level of Latent Power and the effects of Thunderous Roar, which are key characteristics of the Rey Dau equipment.

Things to Prepare in Advance
| 1 | ▼ Raise your HR to 50+ |
|---|---|
| 2 | ▼ Familiarize yourself with Rey Dau |
| 3 | ▼ Craft Ice Weapons |
| 4 | ▼ Max Out your Armor |
| 5 | ▼ Increase your Stun Resistance |
Raise your HR to 50+
Only Hunters who have reached HR 50 and beyond are allowed to challenge Arch-Tempered Rey Dau. If you are interested in hunting Arch-Tempered Rey Dau during its limited availability, it would be better for you to raise your HR beforehand while simultaneously crafting ice weapons and maxing out your armor.
How to Raise Hunter RankFamiliarize Yourself with Rey Dau
Even though this monster is 'Arch-Tempered', it is still a Rey Dau. This implies that it will share many of its moves with its base counterpart. Therefore, it would be beneficial to familiarize yourself with base Rey Dau's movements and telegraphs to make this fight easier.
Although, make sure to note that Arch-Tempered Monsters have been known to add new moves to their repertoire, so make sure to stay alert for new tells during the hunt.
Rey Dau GuideCraft Ice Weapons
Base Rey Dau is susceptible to the Ice element, therefore, it is highly likely that Arch-Tempered Rey Dau will share the same weakness. Even though you don't go so far as to create a perfect Artian Weapon, it would still be a good idea to prepare a suitable weapon with the Ice element.
Max Out your Armor
Because Arch-Tempered Monsters are stronger than Tempered Monsters, it is logical to assume that Arch-Tempered Rey Dau will hit very hard. Therefore, you should maximize the levels of each piece of armor you intend to equip for this fight.
Moreover, you could also slot Protection Jewels into your armor to receive the Divine Blessing skill, but this method isn't as reliable as simply increasing your defence.
How to Farm Armor SpheresIncrease your Stun Resistance
Base Rey Dau is known to inflict the 'Thunderblight' status ailment, which makes the Hunter more susceptible to getting stunned. Assuming Arch-Tempered Rey Dau is capable of inflicting Thunderblight as well, you should increase your Stun Resistance by crafting and slotting Steadfast Jewels.
