Tips

Side Chomp: A weak attack that trips the player. Little threat.
Charge: Rathian charges up to three times. Stay behind her hind legs to avoid being hit.
Fireball: Breathes fireballs on the ground, sometimes in a pattern of three (left, center, right) or as a single projectile.
Fireblast: When enraged, she unleashes an explosive fire blast in front of her. Stay out of its large radius.
Tail Whip: Performs two 180-degree spins with her tail. Stay between her legs or slightly in front to be safe.
Talon Strike: An aerial attack where she swoops down. If she pins you, rapidly swivel the joystick to break free or use a Dung Bomb for an immediate escape. She may also spit fire while pinning.
Backflip: Her most dangerous attack, especially when enraged (can be done twice). She flips backward, hitting with her tail and inflicting poison. Cutting her tail reduces its range but it will still poison. This can also occur mid-air.
Aerial Charge: Flies forward to run you over, then lands with a talon strike. May perform a shorter, rapid left-to-right swoop before landing.
Diving Claw: On areas with ledges (like Heaven's Mount and Ancestral Steppe), she dives from a higher ledge, ending with a talon strike.
Breakable Parts:
Head: Scales break off, smoothing its appearance.
Wings: Webbing tears, wing talons break.
Tail: Can be severed and carved.
Back: Scars appear after successful mounts and topples.

Weaknesses:

Elemental: Dragon, Thunder.
Status: Blast.

Rathian is susceptible to Flash Bombs when airborne. Throw them in her facing direction to blind her and cause her to fall.
