Arch-Tempered Rey Dau

Vulnerabilities of Arch-Tempered Rey Dau

Despite being a much tougher opponent than its standard versions, Arch-Tempered Rey Dau still bears familiar weaknesses. To prepare effectively, hunters should focus on the following vulnerabilities:

– **Elemental Weaknesses:** Ice

– **Weapon Type Weaknesses:** Cut, Blunt

– **Breakable Parts:** Head, Tail (can be severed), and Wings (x2)

– **Susceptible Status Ailments:** Blastblight, Exhaust, Poison, Sleep, Stun (less effective)

– **Helpful Items and Traps:** Flash Pod, Pitfall Trap

Strategies for Defeating Arch-Tempered Rey Dau

Preparation is key for this encounter. Unlike previous hunts, it’s crucial to equip weapons that possess an ice element and wear armor with high resistance against thunder attacks. Given Rey Dau’s substantial health pool and heightened resistance, dispatching this beast quickly is the goal.

Arch-Tempered Rey Dau is also much more aggressive, launching attacks more frequently and chaining them together. Expect to be struck multiple times while trying to recover. Utilize your Seikret for a rapid revival before you’re forced back to camp! They can be invaluable during intense battles, allowing you to heal in a safer environment away from Rey Dau.

Electric Attacks and New Abilities

A significant new aspect of this hunt is the beast’s ability to summon lightning strikes with many of its attacks. This mechanic increases the likelihood of being stunned and makes it more difficult to execute your own hits. If you favor counter-attacks, be cautious and maintain your guard longer as many of your moves will be interrupted. Equipping gear that offers the Evade Extender skill can make dodging these lightning strikes much easier.

If the electric attacks become overwhelming, targeting the blue Fulgurite crystals on its wings and tail can provide temporary relief, disabling them for approximately three minutes. Though this tactic does come at the cost of reduced damage output, it can be a lifesaver during particularly chaotic moments.

Watch for New Ground Attacks

Beware, for Arch-Tempered Rey Dau has added a new attack to its repertoire. If you linger too closely, it will emit a lightning strike directly beneath it. This pose once guaranteed safety when positioned under the creature in earlier fights but now signifies danger. If you see it charging up, make sure to dodge out of the way to avoid being hit and left vulnerable to its powerful follow-up beam.

Taking down the Arch-Tempered Rey Dau will require clever tactics due to its high resistance to wounds. Look for opportunities to deal damage after it unleashes its strongest charged beam, or focus on using mounts, traps (especially pitfall and vine traps), and Flash Pods when the creature takes to the skies.

The Pursuit and Conclusion

The battle essentially revolves around chasing the enraged electric wyvern to various locations, all while aiming to survive its relentless onslaught. Always prioritize your health and be wary of one-hit KOs. If you’ve already been carted a couple of times, consider the option to capture the monster instead—there’s no shame in a quick finish to avoid further risks.

Exclusive Rewards Await
