Hunt Guardian Rathalos, Gravios, Guardian Ebony Odogaron and Gypceros in high rank for the monster parts; the rest is mined, gathered or bought. Each piece is forged separately at the Smithy under High Rank.

Guardian Rathalos α carries 14 skill levels and 7 decoration slots (2-1-1-1-1-1-1); Guardian Rathalos β carries 7 skill levels and 10 slots (2-2-2-2-2-2-2-1-1-1).
