It should be noted for fights with poison that pills take less time to eat than potions to chug. Make sure you're bringing herbal medicine. For the same reason, max potions. Ancient potions are great if you can even make them at this point (those adorable little deer in wildspire near the start. break their faces.)

Otherwise, you're fighting your first drake. Win or lose focus on getting your dodge patterns right (they will serve you well by the time Azure Rathlos and his three friends are spamming fireballs at you), and flash pods should be shot on the ground even if she's flying.
