Rajang | Monster Hunter World Wiki

Imagine if Rajang would hit as hard as Fatalis, now that's a good challenge.

Y'see, there's an easy way to get rid of this guy.

You gotta destroy the moon.

Barioth is harder than Rajang.

Change my mind.

Submit

he has no style
he has no grace

Submit

Wait Rajang is not an Elder Dragon???? WHAT????

Submit

Came in woefully unprepared, but still managed to capture him on first try with 1 life left. Shoutout to Savage Pickle for doing the majority of the job for me

Submit

bruh

Submit

its super fast, no fun. At least as Long Sword.

Submit

That thing hit me so hard that it stunned me......While having stun resistance 3........

Submit

He really isnt as bad as people seem to think. As long as you watch him and exploit openings and use traps and such he isnt too bad. The only thing i carted to was the pin

Submit

Reject the Fifth Fleet, return to monke.

Got decimated on my first try because I didn't check wiki and using dragon weapons, my second time savage jho was there and I decided to let them fight, and my god, jho got DECIMATED, I'm taking a long approach and got 3 turf wars with jho, and everytime it happens, jho got knocked down!!!

Submit

woah... funny monke, wait no... NO NO NO NO NO

Submit

Beo GS + 900 Def did the Job

If it's enraged run to a savage deviljoe or an Elderdragon If possible

GS is pretty good because you have no time for fancy Combos and you need to dish out most damage per hit

Submit

Thunderproof Mantle is a pretty good choice to bring if you get off guard from the Ultra Bellyflop. Usually wear it when Rajang powers up. Second equip I use Temporal Mantle whenever. Usually for free flinch shot or avoiding damage if flinch shot cannot be used. Rajang is a pain to hunt and not my favorite monster to go up against, but you'll feel pretty good after beating it. Don't give up!

Submit

This fight wouldn't be nearly as bad if they didn't give him ridiculous amounts of damage, why do I lose 1/8 of my HP bar from him walking past me

Submit

funny monkey

Submit

Failed two times and decided I needed a change in equipment. Temporal mantle helped me dodge the "Jumping Ultra Bellyflop" which allowed me to complete it with zero deaths.

Submit

A few ideas for how rajang could kill other monsters.
1. Rajang beats up the Barroth carapace after jumping on the barroths head, then splits it apart and yeets the barroth into a wall.
2. Rajangs snaps off Barioth's fangs, then stabs it to death with them.
3. Rajang tears off Glavenus's tail, then shoves it into the Glavy's back.
4. Rajang shoves explosive scales down bazelgeuse's throat and then shoots a lightning beam down the throat.
5. Rajang force feeds the pickle it's own tail, making the pickle choke to death.

Submit

So I had just joined a random person's Glavenus investigation, and I found this monke vibing outside of the cave we were fighting in. I thought they were only found post shara, and this of course says they're only found in the guiding lands (We were in the elder's recess). Can someone please explain this?

Submit

I think it should be a feature that if you cut off the tail, it will have a slim chance of leaving the area, even on a quest. Than, a quest for a furious rajang will show in the place of the rajang quest, and his health will be a lot less, depending on how much damage you did to the original rajang. Like if you agree, dislike if you don't.

When he grabs me, i shout like tarzan

Submit

Bro, I've never felt that much adrenaline in a videogame then when I fought this guy. My hands were actually tingling. First try though, thank god.

Submit

Okay, so basically… he’s monkey.

Submit

wow so hot! wouldn't bang

"There might be a dragon ball reference here"

Submit

there is something legitimately wrong with Rajang attacks. seems like they do direct damage like bomb barrels or sticky ammo. not to the hunter but to other monsters and tail raiders. numbers will pop up on the screen when he damages others monsters. because of the reason he keeps toppling other monsters and can even kill them (if they are weak like Kulu) if the hunt goes for long enough.

Submit

Does his very fast bellyflop slamming at incredible hihg speed can only be avoided by superman dive??? I've managed to roll/run away from nergi's 20 km hitbox ground slam, but the only times I can dodge rajang's ultra mega thundering lightning slam is by doing the superman dive.

Submit

Seems like his ultra slam hits two times. I was using rocksteady mantle when I got hit, and it did two instances of damage. I think the first one is when Rajang actually hit the ground, and the second one was from the lightning burst.

Submit

it says on here that it has no attacks that target hunters behind it, yet i have been kicked in the teeth by this thing more time than i care to count

Submit

Way too strong for regular monster

Submit

I think the problem most people face is that Rajang is actually boss-level difficult. I mean think about it; how often do you go into a hunt, and expect you'll just never faint? How often do you assume that you'll execute your objective perfectly, before having even tried once? That's not normal. Bosses are supposed to be hard, you're supposed to fail a couple of times to get the hang of them.

And also; Rajang is relentless aggro. You don't counter relentless aggro with aggro of your own (at least not in this game), you need to play defensive. Took me 4 tries with LS and a pretty good setup.

Submit

so i have hunted 15 rajang but only ever got one clutch claw opportunity. like why is weapon deflection when hitting his red arms a thing even with minds eye jewel if there are no opportunities to tenderize his arms. sure it can be done after wall banging but for a slow weapon like gs i will prefer to complete the true combo then go for tenderize. rampage mode is my biggest gripe with rajang otherwise very fun monster to destroy and get destroyed by!

This is literally a miniature behemoth.

seeing people complain about this boss is kind of weird to me... its attacks are well telegraphed and have easy opportunities to dodge. I guess some people just want to be able to be hit by things and not die immediately despite the game being designed like that. I suppose that happens when you crutch yourself constantly with temporal mantle or vitality mantle. you just get used to being bad.

Submit

More likely a reference to Sun Wukong, the monkey king, from the novel "Journey to the West"; which dragon ball was also based on.

“Is hostile on sight” that’s not true he is immediately hostile. -_-

i think it amazing that people have been complaining about this monster since for more than a year now

Submit

I take back my previous comment about both rajang (including furious) and raging brachy. Truth be told Im just ****ing awful at lance somehow and wasn't prepared. I'm not particularly fond of some of rajang mechanics but its not as bad as I had thought. Sometimes, one just needs to get good (no matter how much I have come to despise this term)

Submit

I just saw this, has anyone noticed how his HH is the same as the Conga HH in MHGU? I had a little PTSD moment of these farting pink monkeys and I'm sad they didn't come to Iceborne

Submit

i thought seething bazelguese was bad. i thought blackveil vaal hazak was bad. but there is nothing that can compare to how little fun you will have fight a rajang. there is no advice, no redeeming qualities, you just suffer through. and then they send you to fight the harder variant. enjoy getting one shot.

Submit

I despise this fight but it most likely stems from my first fight being with the lance. Still am not a fan of these style of monsters.

Submit

He makes devilho look weak

he go bananas, you go behind and ram your banana to stop monkey business

Can somebody tell me why Rajang is starting out angry aka enraged when I literally started fighting him

Submit

Putting Rajang to sleep ends his enrage phase without touching his butt.

Submit

"Only fanged" ??
Even if we assume you are excluding the ones from the base game (Dos Jagras, Tobi Kadachi, Dos GIrros, Odogaron, Dodogama) There are a few others added in Iceborne, i.e. VIper Tobi Kadachi, Ebony Odogaron and Zinogre, Stygian Zinogre.

Submit

In the Razzle Frazzle Dazzle event quest, I always lure him towards the Savage Deviljho and let them fight eachother, saves a lot of time and trouble. Let Joe do the dirty work for you. =)

Submit

Tremor Res 1 will help mitigate tremor caused by ground pound. With Evade Distance 3, you can get out of the jumping ultra belly flop range even when your weapon is equipped.

Submit

Best advice I can give: If you need to dodge, go left or right, but do not back up because of how linear most of his attacks are, especially his pin.

Submit

So I was hunting a Rajang today to complete the daily bounties for the Sizzling Spice Fest. And after a few minutes of fighting him I blacked out so hard I got carted in 5 seconds, and got mad af XD. I rage quit the game and restarted. And did the mission again after cooling down. Got him that time without fainting. But not without getting stunlocked and beat the sh*t out of me XD. Sometimes you just have one of those days, you know? Still love him tho.

Submit

When I SOS for Guiding Lands farm runs, I love to lure tempered Rajang out after group kills 1 or 2 monsters. It's hilarious watching people fainting left and right.

Submit

I wonder if anyone in the comments had figure out how to wall rajang first time seeing him (go on his arms) but do it quickly since he can grab you off.

Submit

Not only am I not a masochist, but weapons and armor don't look all that interesting at first glance. So why do I want to fight this thing?

Submit

I feel blessed, because he only has 19,000 HP . (TT)

This monster is a Dragon Ball Z Super Saiyan ripoff. Big monkey (check), hair turns yellow when powers up (check), tail is weak spot (check).

Fought him for the first time last night and almost immediately fainted out; collected myself and ran it back to him without fainting once! He is tricky because nothing else in MHW fights you like Rajang, so you're going to be pretty blind going in. He is very fun though once you find your groove!

Submit

Rajang is indeed a reference to DragonBall (aka anime shout contest) and FAT one at that (the reference, Rajang itself isn't fat). You've got the golden hair when angry, the fact that Sayan's have a monkey form, but lose this ability if they lose their tail, (which is usually cut by their parents at their "teenage" years or younger because of the fact that they lose basically all intelligence/self control in this form, at least until trained). And no, I'm not a DGB expert, as I barely know 6 or so character's names.

Submit

I have confirmed that you absolutely do NOT have to beat Rajang to advance to Stygian Zinogre, merely seeing him in the quest and failing or quitting will suffice

Submit

Finally beat him with charge blade, this big boy barely has any opening for cb to land hits effectively.

Submit

I took on Rajang solo using IG today like the fool I am and while I was straight up not having a good time during the hunt, after I beat it with a minute left on the clock, that rush of relief and pride is worth it.

Submit

Ridiculously annoying with IG, the encounter really seems to be intentionally designed to make melee players insane. This jumping ball of fur keeps moving THE WHOLE DAMN TIME with nearly continuous charging. His attacks are rather simple to avoid but you need to run after him ALL THE DAMN TIME, then when you try to get at least one quick combo in, he turns and bashes you around or makes you interrupt your attack at least. Mounting him with IG is nearly impossible since he's surprisingly small and, more important, will be 20 times around the arenaa before you finish your jump attack. I don't understand how they design a monster that is only fun with ranged weapons. I hate ranged weapons. Let's see: any slow-moving melee weapon is useless from the start, including ones with shield since you may block his attacks but his charge is not stopped, i. e. have fun running after him with CB or Lance. No worse experience, not even Daora. That's why I tried IG but its speed comes from jumping and he will no longer be where you need him in 90% of cases. You jump, he's 20 miles away by the time you have reached the position. Also: attacking tail in his super-rage mode? Forget it. He becomes even more jumpy, it's hard enough to stay out of his way, let alone move behind him in time to do more than 1 hit. Honestly, worst designed melee encounter in the game.

Submit

Are you able to capture him?

Submit

How can i have a rajang heart

Submit

From the hunts I’ve done, this guy seems a lot easier to handle in groups. His main strength is the ability to overwhelm a single hunter into moving into the defense, but many of his attacks are strictly forward facing; his sides have some resistance, but he has minimal ability to protect his back legs. While I can’t guarantee you won’t end up with good ol’ XxEliteMaster47xX using low defense and fire weapons to prove his Alpha Status, a sort of reverse crowd-controlling, in which you provide too many targets for him to really force one into panic, can help take Rajang down. Just watch out when he’s enraged for his super; when it starts, scatter asap, because it can be hard to tell who he’s targeting, and a group cart is bad news. His super is telegraphed by him curling up a bit and snarling, sort of flexing his arms inward, almost like his transition into the red arm enraged mode. You can also use Rajang targetting someone else to learn his moves with less panic, but for the love of a Fatalis, don’t run in the corner like a Kut-Ku with its head chopped off. Dipping away to drink a quick potion so you don’t cart is fine, but no one likes a spectator.

Submit

I commented a while ago how this thing was bs to fight. Well that was after only one encounter, and after fighting him several more times, he has definitely grown on me. The first time fighting can be absolutely horrible for some (myself included), but once you learn his moveset and adapt to his fighting style, he can become arguably most exilerating and intense hunt in the whole game. Not to mention him invading whilst fighting another monster, which is both terrifying and awesome to watch at the same time. I also love his soundtrack, and i retract my earlier comments about him. I judged him too quickly

Submit

I beat this guy solo, only after I was disconnected from my party, but he was such a pain to keep up with

Submit

Just finished the Tempered Rajang solo using hammer first time at 20mins, really tough and stressful fight, My strategy was to drag the fight longer since you have 50mins (unless investigation), wore immortal set with Defense lv. 7, and to also ONLY wear mantles when he buffs up his arms red.

Submit

There's a quite a few monkeys in the comments, but Rajang ain't one of them

Anyone know what level of tracks i should be getting in order to get monkey investigations?

In these comments, elitists with the brain power of a Rajang complaining that it's too easy. The rest, sensible people.
