Just to make sure we're on the same line, I repeat:

I am not 100% sure they have their full health in dual quests. Doesn't make sense if you look at the mechanics in mhf2 and later on. However, in MHF1 there seems to be no difference regarding time needed to kill the same monster whether it's a dual or single quest. For that reason I assume they have full health.

One thing is certain though, in G-Rank the attack power is downgraded during dual quests.

Speaking of Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos, those quests shouldn't take much longer than 35 minutes. You've got stronger weapons than in MHF2 and they're not particularly harder either. Get War Basher (1248 raw in mhf1 lolwtf and can get white sharpness) and smash their metallic heads to death!
