Strategy

The Rathalos is the king of the skies. It spends a lot of time airborne, making Flash Pods essential for bringing it down. Its claws can inflict poison, so bring Antidotes. Focus on breaking its wings to limit its flight and its head for damage. Be careful of its fire breath, especially when it's enraged. Use the environment, such as vines, to trip it. When it's on the ground, it's vulnerable, so capitalize on those openings.
