Rajang - Tips & Tricks

Rajang Overview

Rajang Is Making Its Way To Iceborne

The Rajang is a second generation monster that has made its return in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. A powerful monster, the Rajang utilizes its upper body strength to attack & use Thunder-elemental attacks.

Preparing For Rajang

Bring Thunder Resistant Gear Or Nulberries

Rajang will have very powerful Thunder-based moves that can easily take you down. Use Thunder Resistance skills, the Thunderproof Mantle, or eat Nulberries to get rid of Thunderblight.

Bring Ice Weapons To The Fight

The Rajang's biggest elemental weakness is Ice. Make sure that you bring powerful Ice-based weapons to take this intimidating monster down fast.

Can't Use Clutch Claw To Its Head

When you aim Rajang's head & use Clutch Claw, you hold on to its arm & shoulder area instead of its head. You still can slam Rajang into wall by grabbing on to its arm so don't worry.

Break Its Arms & Horns To Topple Monster

When the Rajang's body parts are broken, mainly its arm & horns, it's more susceptible to toppling over when you do burst damage. Aim for these parts to create more chances to attack.

Some Traps Won't Work Against Rajang

Rajang's resistance to trap differs depending on its condition. Refer to the table below.

Pitfall TrapShock Trap
Normal Mode
Enraged
Rampage

Aim At Different Parts During Fight

Rampage Mode

Aim At Head & Arms When Not Enraged

The Rajang's arms & head will be vulnerable when it is not enraged or in rampaging mode. This is the perfect time to hit these body parts to break or wound them.

Focus On Body & Tail When Enraged

When the Rajang is rampaging, its arms will be hardened, deflecting most weapons below purple sharpness. Focus on the monster's body & tail to do damage during this phase.

Rajang - Moves & Counters

MovesDescription
Double LariatsSwings both arms and moves forward. Watch out for the tremor at the end of its attack.
Spinning AttackBends the upper body and spins. Avoid by dodging to the side.
ChargeCharges forward. Don't face in front of him since it's hard to dodge after seeing this attack coming.
Kelbi StepJumps to the side like Kelbi. The range is long enough to capture gunners.
Jumping AttackJumps vertically and falls forward. Easy to dodge since preliminary action is long.
Bear HugJumps toward the hunter and bear hugs. Use Scatternut to break away.
Lightning BreathShoots light beam. Good timing to attack from its side.
Back StepStep backward. It steps back very frequently so don't stand behind it.
Ground SlamSlams the hunter when its skin is hardened. Avoid by moving behind it.

Dodge Before Rajang Hits Ground Slam

The best way to avoid getting KO-ed during Rajang's powerful Ground Slam is to dodge right before it hits the ground. Make sure you're already a bit away, watch the Rajang roar and jump, then roll right before it hits the ground.

Sidestep To Avoid Lightning Breath

The Rajang's Lightning Breath always hits forward. When it jumps to spew out this attack, sidestep or roll to the side to prevent from getting hit with damage & Thunderblight.
