Rey Dau, the first dragon you'll face in Monster Hunter Wilds, possesses the lightning element, rendering it immune to lightning-based attacks. However, it's significantly vulnerable to water and ice. Prioritize attacking its head (4-star weakness) or wings (3-star weakness). Avoid its sturdy torso and well-protected legs. All status effects except Stun and Paralysis are effective.
Use a Flash Pod
Employ Flash Pods to temporarily stun Rey Dau, creating openings for powerful attacks. Capitalize on this opportunity by targeting its glowing red horns during its lightning attack (remember to enter Focus Mode).
Wear Element-Resistant Gear
Fortify your defenses with element-resistant gear. The Hope Armor set, with its Divine Blessing skill, reduces damage and offers resistance to lightning and fire. Consider a meal that boosts elemental resistance as well. If dodging proves difficult, stay close to Rey Dau's legs; it primarily attacks areas in front and behind it.
Pay Attention to the Environment
Rey Dau will fly between locations. In the open plains, utilize Vine Traps on the lone tree to briefly stun it. Exercise caution near its nest, however, as it employs a powerful follow-up lightning attack in that area.
How to Capture Rey Dau in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing Rey Dau offers alternative rewards. Reduce its health until the skull icon appears near its mini-map icon. Then, set a Pitfall Trap and quickly follow up with a Tranquilizer before it escapes. Remember, Shock Traps are ineffective against this lightning dragon.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
