Characteristics
A Rakna-Kadaki is usually seen covered in sticky webbing. Clinging to its abdomen are its offspring, known as Rachnoid, which it controls using the flammable gas that builds up there. Rachnoid spit fire, capture prey, and support the Rakna-Kadaki's massive body. As their numbers dwindle, the beast will hatch more, at which point it is extremely dangerous.

Rakna-Kadaki Hunting Tips

It moves quickly by tethering webs to its offspring, but a strike timed well enough to sever these threads will cause the Rakna-Kadaki to lose its balance and provide you an opening. If, however, you become entangled in its web and roasted by its flames, expect to take a significant amount of damage.

Status Effect Vulnerabilities

If an ailment has more stars it means that it has better effectiveness.

How to Beat Rakna-Kadaki

Rakna-Kadaki Tips
Bring Cleanser Remove Rakna-Kadaki's Webbing Take Out the Rachnoids Interrupt Flamethower Attacks with Flash Bombs

Bring Cleanser

Rakna-Kadaki, being a spider-like monster, has a ton of web-related attacks that can disable hunters and opens them up for more dangerous attacks from the monster. Head Lunge, Web Spray, and Web Traps inflict the Webbed status to anyone it hits.

Fortunately, Cleansers easily and quickly remove this status. Make sure you bring a full stack before heading into the hunt!

Remove Rakna-Kadaki's Webbing

Sometimes the best way to hunt a monster is to take the fight to it! Maintain the offensive throughout the fight to slowly chip away at its webbing.

Once enough damage is dealt, Rakna-Kadaki's webbing will unravel—exposing all of its parts and disabling certain Flamethrower patterns.

Take Out the Rachnoids

Removing the Rachnoids on its abdomen will disable its various silk dashing abilities. Keep damaging this particular part until the abdomen is completely exposed, this will make the fight a lot easier.

Interrupt Flamethower Attacks with Flash Bombs

Rakna-Kadaki's Flamethrower attacks are arguably its most dangerous attacks. Always bring Flash Bombs with you to interrupt these attacks at important situations!

Rakna-Kadaki Master Rank Attack Patterns

In addition to its attacks in High Rank quests, Rakna-Kadaki uses the following attacks in Master Rank.

Silk Slide Flamethrower

Silk Slide Flamethrower Attack Information
Silk Slide Flamethrower: Rakna-Kadaki tosses out a Rachnoid and tilts its head to one side before letting out a long beam of fire. As it releases its flames, it rapidly slides towards the Rachnoid it previously launched. While this attack travels fast, it takes a while for Rakna-Kadaki to set up, so move away from the path of the attack before it happens to avoid getting hit.

Double Flamethrower Lunge

Double Flamethrower Lunge Attack Information
Double Flamethrower Lunge: Rakna-Kadaki rears its head back before quickly lunging it forward to spew out a long beam of fire in two different directions. This attack usually occurs after Rakna-Kadaki repositions with a Silk Slide. To avoid this attack, pay attention to Rakna-Kadaki's head movements and move perpendicular to the path of each flamethrower lunge.

Rakna-Kadaki General Attack Patterns

Rakna-Kadaki uses the following attacks in High Rank quests.

Web Spray

Web Spray Attack Information
Web Spray: Rakna-Kadaki fires streams of webbing from its mouth, applying the Webbed status to anyone hit by the attack. To evade this attack, try to get some distance between you and Rakna-Kadaki at the start of the attack then sneak back in once the gaps between streams are wide enough.

Head Lunge

Head Lunge Attack Information
Head Lunge: Rakna-Kadaki springs its head forward, dealing damage and applying the Webbed status to anyone it connects to. You can remove this deadly status via Cleanser.

Sharpclaw Attacks

Rakna-Kadaki can use its massive sharpclaws at the front to deal damage and potentially knock down anyone in its path. Stay on your toes and keep an eye out for these deadly attacks!

Sharpclaw Attacks Variations
Single Sharpclaw Swipe: Rakna-Kadaki extends one of its sharpclaws before swiping its front, dealing minor damage and tripping anyone caught in the attack.
Double Sharpclaw Swipe: Rakna-Kadaki extends both sharpclaws before swiftly swiping its front with each of them. This attack can knock hunters down if it connects.
Sharpclaw Slam: Rakna-Kadaki stands on its back legs then slam back into the ground in front of it, dealing massive damage and knocking anyone down caught in the attack.

Flamethrower

Rakna-Kadaki will spray fire in various directions while moving though out the fight. This attack has an easy telegraph so once you see the red mist all hunters should sprint, dodge or wirebug their way to safety.

Rakna-Kadaki can immediately transition to this attack whenever someone gets snagged on a web trap.

Flamethrower Variations
Sideward Flamethrower: Rakna-Kadaki releases red mist towards one of its sides before igniting it it flames. The flames persist for a certain amount of time and Rakna-Kadaki will advance a few steps towards that side as well.
Frontal Flamethrower: Rakna-Kadaki extends its head upward, choosing a starting side before unleashing a beam of fire that sweeps its entire front. Rakna-Kadaki also advances a few steps forward during this attack.
Grounded Gigantic Flamethrower: Rakna-Kadaki unleashes a massive beam of fire from its head before leading it outward in a spiral pattern. Anyone caught in this attack suffers massive damage. This attack is telegraphed by a red mist surrounding Rakna-Kadaki's entire body.
Hanging Gigantic Flamethrower: Rakna-Kadaki unleashes a red mist from its body before tethering to the cavern ceiling and unleashing a massive beam of fire. This particular pattern also leads the beam in an outward spiral, but this time the beam is tethered to the ground.

Abdomen Hammer

Rakna-Kadaki can use its massive abdomen as a weapon, smacking unsuspecting hunters who stay behind it for too long!

Abdomen Hammer Variations
Abdomen Slam: Rakna-Kadaki flexes its abdomen up high before slamming it down, causing damage and knocking down anyone it hits.
Abdomen Swipe: Rakna-Kadaki swipes its rear using its massive abdomen, launching anyone it connects to. This particular attack is only available whenever Rakna-Kadaki's abdomen isn't covered in web armor. It is important to note that this attack flings Web Traps around the attack area.

Rachnoid-Based Moves and Attacks

Rakna-Kadaki nests a group of Rachnoids on its Abdomen. These little critters aid Rakna-Kadaki in a series of moves and attacks, making the hunt even more dangerous.

Rachnoid-Based Attack Variations
Silk Slide: Rakna-Kadaki flings one of its Rachnoids in a designated spot as an anchor point. It will then slide towards the same area shortly after.
Sliding Sharpclaw Slam: Rakna-Kadaki flings a Rachnoid towards its target, using it as an anchor point to slide forward and perform a Sharpclaw Slam at the end of the slide.
Rach-Attack: Rakna-Kadaki ejects a bunch of Rachnoids towards a specific area. These Rachnoids will then shoot flames or webbing in a certain direction after landing on their destination.
