Feral Ajarakan Pattern and Behaviour

Jump to a Section


Attack Behavior

Normal State Technical
Overheated State Power

The Feral Ajarakan has 2 states which are its Normal and Overheated state.

Normal State

Turn Count Move
Turn 1 Technical Attack
Turn 2 Lava Cascade Single Target (Blastblight)

The Feral Ajarakan will start out in its normal state. Other than launching a Technical attack, which players should counter with a Power attack, it will also unleash Lava Cascade. This is a single target skill that has the chance to apply Blastblight.

Overheated State

Turn Count Move
Turn 0
From the Normal State
Overheat
Used to transition to the Overheated State
Turn 1 Feral Bomb Crash
Turn 2 Sweeping Flames
Turn 3 Power Attack
Turn 4 Magma Counter
Turn 6 Sweeping Flames
Turn 7 Power Attack

In its Overheated State, it will unleash a lot of Fire based attack such as Sweeping Flames and Magma Counter. Magma Counter in particular is a very strong attack that hits all 4 party members.

You should also watch out for its skill, Feral Bomb Crash as it can hit multiple targets and apply Blastblight. However, this skill also applies Wyvernsoul Def Down to itself which would be a good opening to reduce the gauge.

Recommended Monsties for the Feral Ajarakan

Purple Ludroth iconPurple Ludroth Aurora Somnacanth iconAurora Somnacanth Dreadqueen Rathian iconDreadqueen Rathian

The Feral Ajarakan will primarily have a weakness to Water and Ice type attacks which the Purple Ludroth and the Aurora Somnacanth can cover. The Purple Ludroth can also apply moves that inflict Poison.

However, make sure to switch them out before the Feral Ajarakan unleashes its Fire type attack to a Monstie with a strong Fire Resistance such as the Dreadqueen Rathian, to tank the attack.

How to Beat the Feral Ajarakan

Jump to a Section







Level Up to at Least Level 34

The Feral Ajarakan is a Monstie that unleashes very strong fire attacks. Make sure to level up to at least Level 34, the same Level as the Monstie, to increase survivability during the fight.

Equip Water Element Weapons and the Magia Charm

Make sure to equip weapons with the Water Element like the Almudron Hammer as this helps take advantage of the Feral Ajarakan's weakness.

Additionally, players may also want to equip the Magia Charm which can help sustain the party and apply buffs as well as deal Ice elemental damage, of which the Monster is also very weak to.

List of All Weapons

Equip Fire Resistant Armor

Fire resistant armor such as the Yian Kut-Ku U can help in sustaining your protagonist when it unleashes very powerful Fire type skills.

Have Ogden as Your Partner

Ogden as an Ally
Ogden and his partner Monstie, Chirpy, can greatly help during this battle because of their sustain and poison inflicting abilities. With the Feral Ajarakan being able to deal high damage from a single attack, Ogden's skills can help heal the party members and boost their stats.

List of All Characters and Companions

Inflict the Poison Ailment

The Feral Ajarakan is very susceptible to Poison so take advantage of this by using Poison based attacks early in the match. Partner Monsties who can help with this include the Purple Ludroth and Ogden's partner Chirpy.

Save Your Kinship Skill for a Powerful Attack

The Feral Ajarakan will unleash very powerful attacks such as Magma Counter or Sweeping Flames. Try to save your Kinship Skill to use it for interrupting these attacks as this will prevent your team from taking massive damage.

Attack Its Head Only When It Is Overheated

The Feral Ajarakan will unleash a very powerful counter, (Backlash Blast) if it is attacked on the head during its normal state. With it already releasing such powerful attacks, avoid hitting this body part and instead only attack the head when it is in the Overheated state, when it will not counter the attack.

Switch Out to Monsties With High Fire Resistance

To help with sustaining your party, make sure to switch out to Monsties with High Fire Resistance before it is about to release its skill. This will help sustain your primary attacker Monstie who may still be very weak to fire, like the Purple Ludroth. If you inflicted Poison, this also helps delay the battle for the status ailment to keep dealing damage.
