The "metal" Raths aren't even Key Quests, though I'll admit they have some decent armor.
Throughout like 95% of HR4-7 I've been using Ioprey/Iodrome's armor to get me by... Then the final Urgent-before-G-Rank Quest shows up. Granted, I could've just dodged/defended my way through the fight, still... I ended up getting S.Zinogre's armor and weapon (the monster in question is primarily weak against Dragon). The rest is now history
