Monster Hunter Rise boasts an impressive catalog of monsters for players to track and hunt throughout their time in Kamura Village. Each monster stands as a unique adversary for hunters to overcome, and the Rathian is a monster sure to test the might of fledgling hunters. This large female Wyvern is parallel to Rathalos, and this beast provides a challenge reminiscent of its counterpart with a few distinctions of her own. Make sure you don't end up as a snack for this Flying Wyvern by studying up on her beforehand. Here are the Rathian's weaknesses, resistances, and drop rates.
All Rathian Weaknesses
Rathian Elemental Weakness
The Rathian's main weakness is dragon-type weaponry, so do your best to bring tools with this element if you have them. If you lack dragon weapons, take thunder, water, or ice gear instead, as they'll give you an edge in battle as well. Though not as impactful as dragon weapons, they still provide a boost. Avoid using fire weapons on the Rathian, as it is immune to this element.
Those with elemental weapons should focus their attacks on the Rathian's Head and Wings, as these areas take the most damage.
| Location Damage | Fire | Water | Thunder | Ice | Dragon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head | 0 | 15 | 20 | 15 | 30 |
| Neck | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 15 |
| Torso | 0 | 5 | 10 | 5 | 20 |
| Back | 0 | 5 | 10 | 5 | 20 |
