Need help with The Path of Royalty quest in Monster Hunter Rise? This guide walks you through finding and defeating Rathian, including its locations and key attacks to watch out for.
Alright, hunter! So you've hit 2-star Hub Quests and picked up 'The Path of Royalty.' This one's all about taking down the classic Rathian. Don't worry, I'll get you through it.
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, once you've accepted the quest, make sure you've got some good food like Bunny Dango in your belly and a weapon with Ice element equipped. This will give you a nice advantage.
- 2Now, you need to track down Rathian. It can show up in a few spots within the Flooded Forest. Your best bet is Area 11, where it has a 60% chance of spawning. If not there, try Area 9 (30% chance) or Area 13 (10% chance).
- 3When you finally confront Rathian, keep your wits about you. The two main things to watch out for are its fire attacks – those can hurt! – and its tail. That tail is coated in poison, so getting hit by it is a real pain and can chip away at your health over time.
- 4Your main goal is to avoid those specific attacks. If you can dodge the fireballs and stay clear of that venomous tail, you'll be in a great position to defeat it. For a deeper dive into Rathian's moves and how to counter them, there's a separate, more detailed guide you can check out.
Tips
- Always bring an Ice element weapon against Rathian; it's significantly weaker to Ice.
- Pay close attention to its movements. When it rears back, it's often about to unleash a fireball or a tail swipe.
- Don't get greedy! Focus on dodging its attacks and only go for hits when you have a clear opening.
