  • As with all Guardian monsters, prioritise destroying wounds when they appear, as they will heal on their own after a short time.
  • Guardian Rathalos' wings are breakable, and doing so will drastically limit its manoeuvrability.
  • Be prepared to run or dodge from its big, explosive attacks. You can detonate the crystals of wyvern milk on the ground yourself with slinger ammo.
