Day 3: Ring of the Golden Sol

As you know, I usually use dual blades. This monster has mostly fire attacks, with a ton of poison flips. (She's not as bad as Pink Rathian!) She's my usual wall right now, and groups of four wielding all slime weapons can kill her in less than 15 minutes. All of my previous tries ended up with me dead or poisoned...so yeah.

So, I'm wearing my Green nargacuga armour set and using the arko tri thunder bow. I bring a bunch of potions, mega potions, honey, energy drinks, max potions, ancient potions, and a bunch of farcaster materials.

The fight starts, and I mistakenly load paint coating into my weapon. I quickly sort it out, and I'm doing pretty well. I haven't fainted yet, because every time Rathian moves, I end up dodging. I'm pulling off a ton of damage by shooting her legs, and pelting her occassionally with a focus blast (arrow rain). My first faint comes when I stupidly hold the arrow for too long, and run out of stamina to evade a charge. This is 30 minutes into the fight, and it's starting to do that "charge trip".

I go back into the fray after chugging a max potion and a few energy drinks. It starts doing it's tail spin, and I'm far enough to spam arrow rains into it. It's takes five arrow rains, and it starts limping towards me. I set a trap, and get bitten by her. Ignoring the fire damage, I run up and tranq her.

Objective Complete!

Time Used: 43 minutes!
Notable Rewards: None - I just want gleems and cortexes...darn it.
Skills Learned: Dodging and aiming focus blasts.
