This electric wyvern can zap careless hunters with its powerful new abilities. Nonetheless, requiring effective planning and execution, this exciting opponent may be faced repeatedly in exchange for high-end crafting materials.
Accessing the Arch-Tempered Rey Dau
The Arch-Tempered Rey Dau and other enhanced monsters aren’t just found anywhere. They show up during special limited-time events. Players are able to take on this empowered wyvern in two quests – the Event Quest A Silent Flash, and the Free Challenge Quest The Shining Storm Rages. The opportunities have been available during various timeframes, for instance, late April-mid May, but they do not stay available permanently. Hunters need to pay attention to the event schedules so they don’t miss their chance to fight this electric nightmare.
Identifying Key Vulnerabilities

The use of Flash Pods and Pitfall Traps may be decisive during encounters.
Tactical Approaches for Victory
Pre-Hunt Preparation
To be successful with this formidable opponent, equipment is selected with care. Weapons made of ice element are necessary while armor with good thunder resistance will help you survive. The Arch-Tempered type of monsters has much greater health and defense, making it more important than ever to be precise and timed.
Combat Dynamics
This powerful wyvern is much more aggressive than the previous one. In fact, it can chain its attacks, and you’ll find yourself getting comboed if you get hit. This will hassle hunters who are just recovering from their previous hit. With Seikret companions, you are able to have a fast revive after getting knocked down. It is way better to position yourself strategically to heal safely and stay out of the monster’s attack range rather than healing sooner and taking more damage.
Rey Dau’s attacks cause several strikes of lightning which is the most troublesome part. These shocks will increase the chance of a stun and disrupt counter-attack timing, forcing hunters to play more cautiously. Although offset attacks continue to hold up, other counter techniques tend to misfire, creating dangerous windows of vulnerability. Evade Extender allows you to dodge the attacks of electricity better.
If the strikes of lightning cause too much concern, hitting the blue Fulgurite crystals located on the wings and tail will disable this effect for about three minutes. While this approach lessens your damage potential overall because you won’t attack their head, it can still feel comfortable when they follow up on you a lot.
Recognising New Attack Patterns
The Arch-Tempered variant has a new, dangerous technique where it strikes lighting straight under it. This gets rid of safe spots. If you get hit by this attack, you will be hit by a charged beam. This beam will instantly kill hunters. The charging animation should be recognised so as to dodge immediately to avoid die.
Attacking the wyvern and creating wounds on it will knock it down, but the Arch-Tempered version is harder to exploit due to a heightened resistance to wounds. After one of its big charged beams attacks is the best moment to do damage. In order to control the flow of the encounter, it is important to successfully mount the creature, apply pitfall and vine traps, and use Flash Pods whenever the creature flies.
Endurance and Survival Tactics
This battle is all about enduring and surviving, as the wyvern is always enraged during the fights. It is very important to manage health to avoid immediate defeat. After a few failures, it often makes more sense to capture the monster than to kill it.
Exclusive Rewards and Materials
This buffed version of a wyvern rewards the same as a tempered one, with extra. Instead of the usual Hunter Symbol III, the hunters who achieve success will receive the Rey Dau Certificate Y, which is a material used to forge the new Rey Dau Gamma armour sets for hunters and Palicos. The certificate can also be used to upgrade Defense Charm V and Power Charm III talismans.
The distribution of rewards for Arch-Tempered Rey Daus will probably change in the future, since players can only fight them at specific windows. When these phases are available, hunters should make the most out of farming activities so that they can get enough materials for the equipment upgrade they want.
