It's an interesting fight for sure, since the boss has no "tells" and you have to watch his movements -- like a real hunter taking down its larger prey.

"We want bunny suits for guys!" -- OK! ✅
"We want Ishgard housing!" -- OK! ✅
"We want Viera!" -- OK! ✅
"We want Cloud's motorcycle!" -- OK! ✅
"We want Blue Mage!"-- OK! ✅
"We want the ability to earn past Feast rewards!" - OK! ✅ to armor
"... and mounts?



Once again... I don't want ppl to be misinformed here.
Rathalos absolutely DOES have "tells" or telegraphs for his attacks, you have to pay attention to his posture and movements which clearly indicate what attack he is going to do next. What he lacks are AoE markers... which technically isn't a new a concept for this game either. The manticore/diresaur type monsters have attacks without markers which are instead telegraphed by posture (Ganderwa, Stone Vigil (Hard) 3rd Boss, Manticores in HoH, etc.) and the demon monkey things (Angada) as well.



Since it doesnt have a hard ilvl sync. Come this time next year or even at 4.5 it should be alot easier. At 5.0 it will be a cake walk and you should have the mount no problem.



The fight will become trivial once the next set of gear raises everyone's HP well above 40k.
He can hit and kill dps/healers with 45k+ Hp with some of his moves. Second phase rush, stuns you then poison, only a healer or maybe a dps that knows erase can help you. If it's the healer you're dead. Yet he hits tanks for maybe 20k or less. I'm doing multiple runs today, and the tank literally ignores his rushes until there's stunlocks. Meanwhile just one rush murders me and the dps.
It's like literally you cannot make a single mistake. I said in another thread I just plan on clearing it once and forgetting about it; doing it 50+ times is absurd.

You could always wait, and then do it very overgeared later and unsynched like Derio has said
As for only be from the Ex version, mounts have always come from that so why change it now.
I do not see why it should drop from the normal version


"I'm scared of Extreme so this is bad design choice SE".
Come on...





poor litel au ru
come here, i protect
When the game's story becomes self-aware:



I find mount and armor set from it very ugly. So there is no incentive for me to even run it. To me it just another waste of space that they could used to add more character options and better looking glamour items.


he has very few attacks to remember and they are all very simple, just like monster hunter
if you don't want to put any effort into something that seems more like your bad job than the creators.
the fight is a blast imo, ill be a bit sad once i have no reason to do it anymore. Should get some more monster hunter fights...
That said we have the giant mess of Pagos to complain about, leave the poor rath alone
