So I got my 50 scales and I’m done unless I ever go back to augment the gear and make it dyeable. That said I did get better at dodging this move. Anecdotally it feels more like an invisible cone than a line, as I ended up having way more success if I ran diagonally towards him rather than perpendicular to his path.

Fun fight though. Never could beat Behemoth in Monster Hunter, but Rathalos in FFXIV was entertaining.
