Was pretty fun. They translated the mechanics pretty decently, even removing the enemy tells which force you to actually watch Rathalos's animations to know what it's gonna do.

Normal mode had the standard 8-man full party but the Extreme version put you in a 4-man light party. First phase was a pretty standard trial boss with unique mechanics like mounting but the second phase all healing was turned off from spells and you could only heal with the 10 Mega-potions allotted to you. Healers in the second phase instead had to cleanse the DOTs the Rathalos applied.

At the end of the fight you had to carve to get the tokens for the rewards. Originally the tail stayed on the for the entire fight but they updated it in Endwalker/Dawntrail so after enough damage was dealt the tail would cut off automatically. Regardless, you could still carve the tail before that.
