“Summon forth your mighty Rathalos─a wyvern far, far from home.
Many a brave hunter has attempted to topple this flame-belching beast from his fiery throne atop the forest, yet only a few can claim to have conquered the King of the Skies.— In-game description

Acquisition Guide
The Rathalos Whistle, which summons this mount, has a rare chance of dropping from The Great Hunt (Extreme), so the most common way of obtaining it is to exchange 50 Rathalos Scale+, which can be obtained from the extreme trial. For easy loot farming, it is strongly recommended that players form a pre-made party via Party Finder and use an Unrestricted Party (level sync disabled), as this will not affect loot drop rates. Solo queuing through Duty Finder is not advised. A party of four DPS jobs is ideal, but not strictly necessary, and any composition, including fewer than 4 players, works at level 90. The boss can also be easily defeated solo at level 100.
Players who wish to farm with Level Sync enabled should also form a premade party in Party Finder (which enables the use of Minimum Item Level and Silence Echo for an additional challenge). They can also attempt to solo the boss for a more challenging experience.
