No dragon weapon, no bombs, etc.. Just two traps (plus two that I later combined), the chak-chak SnS, and about five flash bombs. I finished with at least 10 minutes to spare. Tail cut of, wyvern tear delivered (with the help of a farcaster), both wings wounded, and Rathian armor. Some tips (not saying this in arrogance, but in sincere desire to help): Bring a lot of flash bombs, and use them when he is in the air, near the ground. Use them carefully. I'd suggest bringing as many traps, and materials needed for trap combos, as possible, as it is a great way to get his health down Use paintballs. Searching for the Los is a great way to waste precious time. That's what cost me my first try. Bring demon drugs, might pills, etc.; anything that'll bring your attack up, really (try to get a food combo that gives you attack bonus as well). Cha-Cha is very helpful. Give him dragon elemental attack (if you can), and I'd suggest his rage ability as well. Don't stress, and don't worry about the subs or wounding him. For your first time, just focus on hurting him. Hope this helps! I'm sure most people already know this stuff, but just in case. Good luck I killed Los my second try. No dragon weapon, no bombs, etc..

I don't use Sword and Shield but for those who do, I would suggest the Lagia Sword instead of the Royal Claw+. I'm not sure what your armor composition is supposed to do. It doesn't really look like a useful setup to me. Can you explain? While Rathlos has some weakness to water, it’s much more vulnerable to thunder and dragon.

Sorry. Only the crystal Switch Axe does dragon damage. I got that one first and then I assumed it was true for all crystal weapons. My bad. You’re right. Sorry.

Rathalos is one big cruel joke. I prepared so much for fighting him; I got the wind-resistant armor, the dragon switch-axe, the traps, the bombs, the antidotes etc. I fought him for 45 minutes and used up 10 mega potions, 7 first-aid meds and 6 normal potions and 2 max potions. I broke the head and both wings and cut of the tail. I had him on the ropes, but with only a few minutes left I couldn't afford to play it safe. And then he just killed me, with his god damn instantaneous dash attack. For my trouble I now have a piece of rath marrow, carved from his tail, to remind me of my total defeat. The guy is just too tough on all fronts. Lots of health, fast, strong and relentless attacks, constant flying and short openings. On a separate note though, dragon weapons aren't too hard to get. The crystal weapons deal dragon element, and they can be made from Tundra minerals. Reading your Rathalos entries made me very happy. Rathalos is one big cruel joke.
