Rey Dau Boss Fight Guide

Key Weaknesses & Strategies:

• Habitat: Windward Plains
• Breakable Parts: Horns, Wings, Tail (Prioritize head and wings for optimal damage.)
• Elemental Weaknesses: Ice and Water (Lightning is ineffective.)
• Effective Status Effects: Poison (2x), Sleep (2x), Paralysis (1x), Blastblight (2x), Exhaust (2x) (Avoid Stun.)
• Recommended Gear: Element-resistant armor, such as the Hope Armor set (Divine Blessing skill reduces damage and offers Lightning/Fire resistance). Consider food buffs for enhanced elemental resistance.

Tactical Approaches:

• Flash Pods: Utilize Flash Pods to temporarily stun Rey Dau, creating openings for critical hits, especially targeting its glowing red horns during its lightning attack (remember to activate Focus Mode).
• Strategic Positioning: Maintain proximity to Rey Dau's legs to avoid many of its attacks. Its primary attacks focus on areas in front and behind.
• Environmental Advantages: In the open plains, utilize Vine Traps found on the lone tree to briefly incapacitate Rey Dau. Exercise caution near its nest due to its powerful follow-up lightning attack.

Capturing Rey Dau:

For a successful capture, reduce Rey Dau's health to critical levels (look for the skull icon on the mini-map). Employ a Pitfall Trap, followed immediately by a Tranquilizer to secure the capture. Time is of the essence! Remember, Shock Traps are ineffective against this lightning dragon.
