I've never actually seen Rathian defeated, either offline or on. It's gotten to be superstitious. Any group i'm with, no matter how good otherwise, seems to fall to pieces against Rathian, and we'll fail whether it's my fault or not.

 

Offline, it's nightmarish. There is no safe way to attack her, and there is no weapon set that can hit more than iher legs (or if there is i haven't found it or unlocked it), unless you're suicidal enough to stand in front of her.

You've got to be kidding me. Use a damn lance. Counter-thrust her sorry ass!

I'm online everyday during 9-12AM GMT+2 time. My name is Routsou; join me. Seriously, at this point, I can solo Rathian without too much trouble. Rathalos is WAY worse, spends half the fight airborne...

Its a matter of safety. Certainly there are weapons that can hit that high, but not in a way that's going to leave me open to a counter-charge, which is the one attack of hers that breaks any of my strategies. Otherwise i'd be fine, as i learned how to deal with tail swipes from Barroth, her flippy tail thing is a non-issue from the angle i attack from, but that random counter-charge gets me every time. Also the fact that i have to be square in front of her legs, otherwise she does damage just by walking around.
