Rajang Hunting Tips

A Rajang is most dangerous when its arms are powered up, allowing it even to destroy Shock Traps. Attack its tail to remove this effect. In its regular state, it will also avoid Pitfall Traps. It will immediately attack anything that invades its territory, so watch your step.

How to Beat Rajang

Rajang Tips
Be Aware of Rajang's Enraged Mode Attack the Tail During Enraged Mode Some Attacks Leave Rajang Open to Counters Be Mindful with Traps Always Save One Wirebug Remember to Stay Mobile

Be Aware of Rajang's Enraged Mode

Rajang can enter Enraged 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 Enraged 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 Enraged Mode

Rajang can be knocked out of its Enraged 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 open Rajang up for counterattacks.

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

Here's a list of attacks with counterattack opportunities:

Backstep	Rajang can perform a backstep after its Furious Zig-Zag. Positioning at the tip of its trajectory allows you to dish out heavy attacks for free.
Jumping Slam	Rajang takes a while to recover from its Jumping Slam. Use this to your advantage by dishing out your heavy attacks! Additionally, weapons such as the Charge Blade, Lance, and Long Sword can use their counterattacks on the slam itself.
Lightning Beam	Lightning Beam's animation is fairly long compared to Rajang's other attacks. Take advantage of this by landing heavy attacks during the animation.

Be Mindful with Traps

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

Always Save One Wirebug

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

Remember to Stay Mobile

Rajang is a fast monster, and its Enraged State increases its speed and power even further. Hunters should prepare themselves to move or guard at all times as this monster's attacks are quick and wild.

Rajang Master Rank Attack Patterns

In addition to its attacks in High Rank quests, Rajang uses the following attacks in Master Rank.

Quick Claw Swipe

Quick Claw Swipe Attack Information
Quick Claw Swipe: Rajang closes the distance with a quick leaping claw swipe, dealing moderate damage on hit. This move comes out quickly and often occurs as a follow-up to its other attacks, so stay alert when fighting Rajang in Master Rank.

Rapid Rajang Charge: Rajang rapidly charges toward the player, ending its stampede by thrusting its horns upward. To avoid this attack, quickly dive-evade or dodge perpendicular to Rajang's path.

Fists of Fury

Fists of Fury Attack Information
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

Cannon Ball Attack Information
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.

Triple Slam Combo

Triple Slam Combo Attack Information
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

Upheaval

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

Lightning Beam

Lightning Beam Attack Information
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.

Lunging Grab

Lunging Grab Attack Information
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.
