Walkthrough

1
The Rathian is a Flying Wyvern that primarily uses its wings for mobility, but has one notable aerial attack: a vertical spin that smashes the ground with its tail, inflicting poison.
2
Other attacks include bites, charges, and fireballs (single or volleys of three).
3
Its tail is a dangerous weapon, used for sweeps and a spinning tail flip.
4
The Rathian moves unpredictably, making it hard to find a consistently safe side to attack. The head is a major source of its offense.
5
It can also rush back and forth, dealing damage.
6
Use Flash Pods (crafted from Flash Bugs via the Slinger) to blind flying monsters and knock them out of the air, leaving them vulnerable. Load them into your Slinger by selecting them via the Item Bar and pressing [Square] or [X].
7
The Rathian often occupies areas with uneven terrain, which can be used to your advantage to mount the beast.
8
After taking sufficient damage, the Rathian will flee to its nest, where it can be captured to end the fight faster.
