How to Beat Rathalos

  • Use Ranged Weapons to Destroy Its Wings While Flying

Equip a Thunder Element Weapon

Rathalos is weak to the Thunder element. Equip a build that supports this weapon type to help you take down the King of the Skies!

Best Builds and Armor for Each Weapons

Use Ranged Weapons to Destroy Its Wings While Flying

It will be extremely troublesome when Rathalos enters its airborne state. For an easier hunt, we recommend using ranged weapons. When Rathalos flies up, target the wings and destroy it. This will cause it to drop to ground, making it easier to attack.
