Monster Hunter Wilds: Rathalos (Large Monster)

Rathalos is a large Monster that you can slay or capture in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Characteristics: Freasome male wyverns known as the “Kings of the Skies.” Alongside the Rathian, they stake out a wide territory around their nests, and it is the male’s role to watch from above. Armed with powerful poisonous claws and fiery breath, Rathalos use their aerial prowess to descend on invaders.

Helpful Hints: As Kings of the Skies, Rathalos will attack with a variety of aerial strikes. A bright flash should be enough to disorient them and bring them down. When Rathalos are in trouble, their Rathian mates may swoop in to help, so be sure to have dung pods and large dung pods at the ready.
