To find Rey Dau in Monster Hunter Wilds, you need to head toward the Windward Plains during Inclemency weather. Thunderstorms and sandstorms are signs that Rey Dau is nearby.

Before taking on Rey Dau, prepare well. Just like preparing before defeating Doshaguma, you need to eat a meal at camp to boost your stats and stock up on Grounding Pods, which are key for this fight.

Bring plenty of healing items and Nulberries to counter Rey Dau’s effects. Also, craft max potions and rations for extra stamina, and consider firing an SOS Flare if you need support from other hunters.

When fighting Rey Dau, keep close and try to stay under its body whenever possible. Dodge sideways if it charges with its mouth open, as this attack can deal heavy damage. Use Flash Pods to temporarily stun it, giving you a moment to regroup.

With these tactics, you’ll be better equipped to handle the challenges Rey Dau brings.

Rey Dau Attack Patterns

Lightning Beam


Rey Dau has a few key attack patterns to watch out for. First, it is called the Lightning Beam. When you see it charging up its mouth, that’s your cue to move. Run sideways to avoid the beam, and never try to outrun it by going straight ahead. This attack can deal heavy damage if you don’t dodge properly.

Glass Wing Attacks


Another attack to be aware of is the Glass Wing Attack. Rey Dau can create glass armor on its wings, and these attacks are combined with its electrical powers. To stay safe, make sure to keep your distance when Rey Dau is using its wings to attack, as they can be tough to deal with up close.

When it comes to Rey Dau’s weaknesses, there are a few spots to target. The head is the primary weak point, as it takes extra damage and can be wounded. Additionally, cutting off its tail will reduce its attack range. Finally, its electrified parts are vulnerable to Grounding Pods, so use them to gain an advantage in battle.
