Known Habitats: Windward Plains Breakable Parts: Horns, Wings, Tail Recommended Elemental Attack: Ice and Water Effective Status Effects: Poison (2x), Sleep (2x), Paralysis (1x), Blastblight (2x), Stun (1x), Exhaust (2x) Effective Items: Pitfall Trap, Flash Pod, Dung Pod

Rey Dau is your first dragon encounter in Monster Hunter Wilds. Immune to lightning attacks, this creature is surprisingly vulnerable to water and ice. Prioritize attacks to its head (4-star weakness) or wings (3-star weakness). Avoid its sturdy torso and well-protected legs; the tail is a viable alternative target. Utilize all status effects except Stun and Paralysis.

Use a Flash Pod

A Flash Pod can temporarily stun Rey Dau, creating an opening for significant damage. During its lightning attack, aim for its glowing red horns (enter Focus Mode for better visibility) for maximum impact.

Wear Element-Resistant Gear

The Hope Armor set, with its Divine Blessing skill reducing damage and offering resistance to lightning and fire, is a strong choice. Consider a meal boosting elemental resistance for added survivability. Staying close to Rey Dau's legs minimizes exposure to its attacks, as it primarily targets areas in front and behind.

Pay Attention to the Environment

Rey Dau's flight pattern allows for strategic use of Vine Traps located near the lone tree in the open plains. However, exercise caution near its nest, where a powerful follow-up lightning attack poses a significant threat.

Capturing Rey Dau offers alternative rewards. Reduce its health until the skull icon appears near its mini-map icon. Use a Pitfall Trap (Shock Traps are ineffective against lightning dragons) followed immediately by a Tranquilizer to secure the capture. Time is critical; be prepared for a swift action.

Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
