The Gold Rathian fights just like a Pink Rathain, but with greater speed and damage. Great weapons to use against Gold Rathian is Devil Slicer. Why is this weapon so great against Gold Rathian? The reason is Rathian has a low hit point stagger limit on its wings and it is possible to have two hunters wing lock it on both sides. Another great weapon is the Thunderlance and Black Tempest.

Do this give a 2% chance of getting a plate or ruby in rewards. It is always best to take a team of three to fight rathian. I particually like taking a gunner, Great swordman, and Sword and shield user. This give the Rathian more targets to attack and give you time to heal up or sharpen your weapon.
