Azure Rathalos | Monster Hunter World Wiki

I know there is sheer hatred for this fight, I myself find it a bit unfair, but this man has saved my life on so many hunts that i am starting to loose count, however the most impressive one for this beast was against the first assigned quest against brachydios as it was in the fight about 50% of the time and distracted it so much that it shaved off about fifteen minutes of the hunt. All the other times it has helped me immensely were mostly in expeditions and a couple optional/event quests. Another noteworthy time was when it not once, not twice, but 4 times it has chased off an invader from messing up my hunt. An example of this was when i was in a hunt against a brute tigrex with a banbaro swooping in out of no where to pile a tree onto me (I was in a healing animation and at low health) when all of a sudden azure rathalos nuked it with one of its fireballs and comletely staggered it out of the attack, and it sat there and 2 v one'd the brute tigrex and banbaro with me and allowed me to claim the victory as the banbaro would have carted me. I didn't even see azure rathalos enter the zone, for all i know it teleported there.

Due to the hardships that this monster has gotten me through (particularly in the elders recess) i have crafted and worn the entire layered azure starlord alpha set (i know that i could have crafted its regular armor but the starlord set looked cooler) and worn that for the entirety of the end game once i learned about it, and i can proudly say that azure rathalos is my FAVORITE monster. If monster hunter 6 brings back frontier pvp, and this legend is in the game, then i will use him no matter what.

Literally **** this guy. They absolutely ruined him from previous titles. Rathalos has been my favorite monster throughout all MH games since Tri. I can say without a doubt, Azure Rathalos is the hardest, most infuriating thing in MHW Iceborne. I would rather fight archtempered Kush solo again. It wasn't fun but nothing compared to this piece of garbage. There's just no excuse for this.

He's pretty chill when sitting down. I don't like his wife though, she always screams at me on sight.

Submit

this mother****ing for god sake piece of ****

Submit

STOP. DASHING.

Submit

this blue blob is really annoying.
HR one is manageable since he can be flash-bombed.
MR one though... flash pod only works a few times and he keeps flying after that

Submit

I have two words for you... Light Bowgun... Enough said.

Submit

I use fire long sword on him( wyvern blade azure yes i beat him up with his own kin) then i capture him with 4 trank bombs and i think i use to much

Submit

He is pretty

Submit

I use sword and shield and rekt this boi twice he is not hard i use dragonbone version for extra damage on this guy

Submit

Since people are struggling here is a tip. Your clutch claw can reach them at their normal flying height and flinch shots on the head will force them to the ground regardless if they hit a wall or not . As long as they are not enraged this will always work

Submit

I legitimately have no idea what everyone is talking about with the difficulty. It's just a Rathalos that likes to hover 2 feet off the ground. Hit the tail and feet...

Submit

Crying in Dual blades :( it literally takes me 20 to 30 min to kill this and rathalos in master rank because the flashes stop working i just spam clutch claw to their tail its really annoying

Submit

Many questions because im trying to develop a strategy before encountering it and immediately getting frustrated based on feedback below:
1. Do dung pods bring a monster out of enraged state, before making them flee?
2. Does clutch clawing while dung podded immediately enrage again if yes to 1?
3. Can the clutch claw even reach this guy?
4. Is it possible to switch to normal slinger ammo fast enough from dung pods to be able to flinch shot if all above are true?

Submit

I’m sword and shield user and I have no problem with azure rathalos

Submit

Azure rath is ez in ancient forest it was harder when pickle showed up

Submit

I know other Master Rank monsters are harder (say, Kushala Daora) but to me the MR Azure Rathalos epitomizes everything I dislike about the expansion in a single monster. Lots of body parts like its tail bounce now so you need to clutch claw it all the time. It flies literally +85% of the fight and never lands on the ground. The frequency of attacks is so high you often can't even clutch claw it cause you'll get knocked off.

"Take flash pods" was great advice until Capcom nerfed them into the ground. Monster's gain flash immunity after one flash now, and flying monsters in MR don't even crash into the ground anymore when you flash them.

I'm of the opinion Capcom did not give melee users enough new tools to deal with flying monsters like this since the flash pod nerf. Flinch shot would be more useful if the clutch claw actually had a reliable aiming mechanic.

My advice is to either dung pod it if you're fighting somewhere without a lot of ledges so it will move locations or just give up and join the Bowgun cheese meta that everyone just falls back to now since standing on the ground unable to hit a monster for 35 minutes isn't a fun experience.

Submit

for those having a hard time grounding this winged flying fucc, just shoot a flash in front of its face or the ground where it's looking and it'll come crushing down dazed for a while. the 3 flash you could carry is normally enough for the take down if you don't miss :)

Submit

Wait since when was azure Rathaus weak to ice and not thunder

Submit

azure never comes down!!! even with bow/bowgun it is still impossible to hit it. when ever i fight it i end up thinking, gee i sure do love just sitting here with my hammer waiting for him to come down super fun

Submit

imagine killing an uragaan after 20 minutes of being under levelled only to have the corpse camped out by azure rathalos then i miss the crave haha i m a g i ne

Submit

I sure do love standing there with my gs on the ground doing nothing.

Submit

This is the "Who cares" out of every monster, like it doesn't even feel like it has new moves it just flies more and spits hot fire

Submit

While hunting for Brachydios, one of these kept coming into the same area and unintentionally ended up helping with the quest. :)

Submit

The only weapon that I can kill this thing effectively with is the SA but even still with the long reach. "SIR! CAN YOU STOP FLAPPING AROUND FOR 1 MINUTE SO I CAN HIT YOU WITH THIS GIANT AXE!?!?!?!"

Submit

I just video taped me killing dis dude and for fun I changed his head to shrek’s in the video lol

Submit

Even Silver Rathalos doesn't fly this much

Submit

Bastard with wings.

Submit

What if you Wanted to hit a TCS while the monster is landing But AzRath said Flyback blast

Submit

This things annoying to deal with. Mainly because the frequency of attacks is cranked up to 11. The worst part is if you don't use flash pods and use melee weapons, you'll be stuck dancing with this thing for what seems to be an eternity until it finally decides to land. If you're a ranged user fighting an azure rathalos its the equivalent of dio and jotaro just attack rushing each other to see who hits the floor first.

Mantle Rathalos on bonus reward

Submit

Why the hell doesn't this page include the Rathbringer Axe II and Azure Rathbringer switchaxes? They are nearly exclusively built out of his parts.

Submit

Azure Rathalos is automatically worse than normal Rathalos, because he starts fights with Dodogama, AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE!

Submit

really tough mofo .. hell be flying almost all the fight so becareful of that !

Submit

if you having trouble with this fight for some reason then just take some extra flash bugs with you and or cut the tail when he's in the air. Both will bring him strait down to the ground and stager him for a bit.

Submit

Is anyone else having trouble getting the special arena azure rathlos. I’ve captured 10 and still no special arena

Submit

tempered Az Rath is the worst *****ing thing ever

Submit

I beat it first try with no deaths. Easy!

Submit

Anyone else see this thing and say "OMG ITS SO TINYYYYYYY"

Submit

It also attacks normal Rathalos and Rathian.

Submit

*****er interrupting my hunts

Submit

The Rathslinger III Bow requires Azure Rathalos materials.

Submit

Just encountered my first az rath while hunting my first lavasioth. Saw it, pissed myself (metaphorically), and ran into the corner and watched the 2 fight.

Submit

Why not black rathalos or something? The weapon doesn't look any better when it transforms into its blue version. Red gear made sense because fire element. Blue is...no... not good choice. At least some of the gear stays red.

Submit

it doesn't really look blue that much if you see it for yourself. at least that's what i think

Submit

I have largest at 2130.28

Submit

Tail isn’t poisonous. That is Rathian.
