How to Beat Rathian
- Equip a Thunder-element Weapon
- Attack from the Side
- Beware of Somersault attacks
Equip a Thunder or Dragon-element Weapon
Rathian is weak against Thunder and is even more susceptible against Dragon-element weapons. Try to equip these weapons when you have them!
Attack From the Side
Staying infront of Rathian makes the Hunter susceptible to its fire breath and somersault attacks. Try to position yourself on its side at all times and dish out as many hits as possible.
Beware of Somersault Attacks
The somersault attack is Rathian's signature move. This deals a lot of damage in Monster Hunter Now and thankfully, it can be avoided easily. Simply roll sideways as the monster is charging to evade effectively!

Literally avoids talking about the most difficult element of this monster which is his attack that triggers twice despite only flashing red once. And the recommendation is to use what the game explicitly defines as his weaknesses already; so lazy.
