Rathian

Learn how to defeat Rathian in Monster Hunter Generations. Discover its weaknesses, attacks, and strategies to overcome the poison princess.

Alright, let's talk about Rathian, the 'poison princess'! She's been around since the start of the Monster Hunter series, and while she's beautiful, she's also pretty dangerous. Unlike her male counterpart, Rathalos, Rathian likes to keep her feet on the ground, which actually makes her a bit easier to deal with. But don't get too comfortable – she's got a nasty poisonous tail and a signature backflip move that can really mess you up. Make sure you stock up on antidotes before you head out!

Rathian's Attacks:

• Side Chomp: A pretty weak bite, not much to worry about.

• Charge: Rathian charges at you, usually three times in a row. If she's tired, she might even crash and fall.
• Double 180 Tailswing: She'll spin around twice, swinging her tail.
• Backflip: This is her most dangerous move! She'll jump into the air and flip backward, hitting you with her tail. It deals heavy damage and poisons you. She can do this up to three times in a row!
• Flame Bursa: She'll stand and breathe a large explosion of fire right in front of her.
• Flying Charge: She'll fly low to the ground and charge at you. Thankfully, she only does this once.
