Don't know if you're a blade/gun hunter. I hunt with blades (usually Switch Axe for Rathalos) but I'll try to keep these tips as general as possible:

Flash bombs: essential for any Ratgalos hunt. Throw them in front of him when he's in the air with his tail touching the ground & he'll fall to the ground so you can get some easy hits in.

When he's tired, he'll stay in a pitfall trap for a LONG time, so this is another good way to get some easy damage in.

The diving claw attack can be a pain, but it's usually fairly easy to see it coming & eveade with a panic dive.

If you are a blade user, attacking the legs/tail while he's hovering is a great opening that will often result in him falling to the ground. Also, when he's on the ground shooting fireballs, this is a good time to attack his head, from the side of course. When he's doing his spin on the spot attack, getting underneath between his legs to attack is good, but be wary of him taking of & fireballing you.

These are all tactics I've used while solo-farming him for his armour in both 3U & 4U, so hope they help & best of luck for your next attempt :)
