How to Beat and Capture Rey Dau in Monster Hunter Wilds

Confronting the enigmatic Rey Dau in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Comprehensive Guide

During your pursuit of the elusive dragon, Rey Dau, you'll inevitably encounter a fierce battle. This enraged beast will target your hunting party, demanding a strategic approach. This guide details effective strategies for defeating or capturing this formidable foe.

Recommended Strategies:

• Exploit Weaknesses: Rey Dau, a lightning-element dragon, is immune to lightning attacks. However, it's vulnerable to ice and water-based attacks. Prioritize its head (4-star weakness) and wings (3-star weakness). Avoid its torso and legs, which offer superior protection.

• Utilize Status Effects: Employ poison, sleep, blastblight, and exhaust. Stun and paralysis are ineffective.

• Strategic Item Usage: Flash Pods temporarily stun Rey Dau, creating openings for significant damage, especially to its glowing red horns (visible in Focus Mode). Pitfall Traps are crucial for capturing it.

• Elemental Resistance: Equip gear that enhances elemental resistance, such as the Hope Armor set with its Divine Blessing skill. Consider consuming food buffs to further boost resistance.

• Environmental Awareness: In the Windward Plains, utilize Vine Traps on the lone tree to briefly immobilize Rey Dau. However, exercise caution near its nest, as it possesses a powerful follow-up lightning attack.

• Optimal Positioning: Staying near Rey Dau's legs minimizes exposure to its attacks, as it primarily targets areas in front and behind it.

Capturing Rey Dau:

To capture Rey Dau, reduce its health to critical levels (indicated by a skull icon on the minimap). Deploy a Pitfall Trap, followed by a Tranquilizer, within the limited timeframe. Shock Traps are ineffective against this lightning dragon.
