When it is about to fire its lightning beam attack, both of its horns will point forward. If you see this sign, run diagonally to avoid its attack. You can also use a shield to block it.

When is the right moment to attack? You can do some attacks when Rey Dau's horns are experiencing overheating. This condition is characterized by a red color radiating from both horns.

If you successfully dodge, you will have the opportunity to attack its legs. As a result, the range of the monster's next attack will be reduced.
