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.

Once you learn Rathian's attack patterns and tell signs, she is surprisingly easy. If you can try manuvering around her and attack her from behind from an angle but don't be directly behind her, the same strategy can be used to attack her neck and head. Don't do more than a few attacks though because she will turn and face your direction to attack. I use the Switch axe mainly because it has reach, has a side step dodge, and can attack her tail even when she is on the ground. When she is about to use her poison back flip attack, dodge to the side and then attack her tail after she she flips  but hurry before she turns and attacks you again. Never let stand or attack directly in front of her. Also flash bombs are great to use after you cut off her tail, use it directly after you cut it off so she won't directly chage you or fire blast your ass
