| Mr Khan said: 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. |
how, talk about hyperbole.
I found rathian to be medium hard offline. Took me till my third try to take her down. But note, I did not figure out how to eat(never realized the importance of it) so I was doing here on 100 health.
Online? She is wicked easy. As long as you dont have a dumbass on your team that cant live than you will be ok...
The trick? Be cautious until your d is around 140 or so. Go for her head after a fireball and give her 2-3 good wacks. When she down the vertical tail swipe (the poison one) roll then hit the tail.
If you do that the tail will fall off about 2/3 the way through the battle without ever having to try to get behind her.
Also a huge tip Always keep her at either your 2 or 10 O'clock. She does a quick turn, but if you are there she turns past you. You will either easily avoid her quick charge.... or Be able to go for her head when she shoots fireballs.
It is a slow fight based on these tactics and using rare 2 weapons. Expect 30 min fight offline if things run smothly (ala you dont die)
