How to beat Gold Rathian in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

All Gold Rathian weaknesses

The Gold Rathian will become more powerful as the battle continues. The neck will begin to glow bright blue underneath its skin, indicating its entering its Incandescent state, which enhances its fire attacks, causing them to explode into blue flames, and it uses its tail far more often. You want to attack its head to knock it out of this state, lowering its damage potential, and try cutting off the tail as quickly as possible to prevent it from using this weapon against you and your party. The Gold Rathian resistances are similar to the Silver Rathalos but has stronger armor.
