Rajang Attack Patterns

Lightning Beam

Rajang's signature attack is the beam of lightning it fires from its mouth. Rajang can unleash this attack rather quickly so its best to never be directly in its line of sight.

Jumping Lightning Blast

Rajang jumps high into the air and fires a blast of lighting down at its target. When Rajang jumps hunters should prepare to dodge.

Ground Slam

Rajang will rear up before slamming its fists down directly in front. The telegraph for this attack is easy to spot so hunters should remain aware.

Jumping Slam

Rajang will occasionally jump before slamming back to the ground, dealing massive damage to anyone caught in it.

This is telegraphed by a short roar while standing straight on both legs and can only happen while in Enrage Mode.

Fists of Fury

Rajang will swing its fists wildly in wide arcs while moving forward. This attack has a very wide range and can catch unaware hunters off guard.

Cannon Ball

Another one of Rajang's jump attacks. It will curl into a ball before crashing down. This attack has an area of effect so be sure to be a good distance away from the impact zone.

Lunging Grab

Rajang lunges at a hunter. If this attack connects the hunter will be picked up then smashed and thrown across the field. If being thrown doesn't KO the hunter, then a potential follow up Lighting Beam, Fist Slam or Jumping Slam will.

Triple Slam Combo

Rajang does three slams on either side with its fists. The third slam is a delayed overhead slam that is more powerful than the first two.

Take note that Rajang can pivot itself before the third slam, which can potential catch anyone directly behind it.

Furious Zig-Zag

Rajang hops towards its target destination in a zig-zag pattern, dealing damage and tripping anyone caught in it.

It is important to note that Rajang can propel itself backward in a straight line after reaching its destination.

Spinning Fist

Rajang quickly postures up before spinning towards its target. Anyone caught in this attack suffers high damage and gets knocked down.

Upheaval

Rajang breaks the ground in front of it, dealing damage and launching anyone caught within the area.

How to Beat Rajang

Rajang's Enrage Mode

Rajang can enter Enrage Mode whenever its fur glows yellow. The transition to this state is telegraphed by a strong roar, shortly followed by its fists turning red.

Here are a couple of things to note whenever Rajang enter its Enrage Mode:

• Rajang's fists are incredibly thick while in this state and will deflect most attacks regardless of sharpness.
• Rajang's attacks are generally faster and deal more damage during this state
• Rajang unlocks its Jumping Slam attack while in this state and can combo it with Lunging Grab instead of the usual Lightning Beam attack.

Attack the Tail During Enrage Mode

Rajang can be knocked out of its Enrage Mode by dealing enough damage to its tail. This will also knock down Rajang making it a perfect time to strike.

Some Attacks Leave Rajang Open to Counters

Even Rajang needs a breather after its flurry of attacks! Some attacks opens Rajang up for counterattacks.

Timing your dodges just after it locks onto the target and positioning appropriately throughout the fight are the keys to efficiently hunting down this fiercesome monster!

Be Mindful with Traps

While it is possible to trap Rajang, It is important to remember that Rajang can break traps when in Enrage Mode. Make sure not to waste any traps by only using them in during its normal state!

Always Have One Wirebug

Rajang's Lunging Grab is always followed-up with either a Lightning Beam, Fist Slam, or even a Jumping Slam (Only in Enrage Mode).

With this in mind, it is important to always have one wirebug with you at all times to wirefall away from the follow-up attack!

Be Mobile

Rajang is a fast monster and its super mode greatly increases its speed and power. Hunters should be prepared to move or guard at all times as attacks are fast and wild.
