The new monster Rajang has been wreaking havoc since October 10 in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. And not even the strongest beasts are safe from him.
Who is Rajang? Rajang, one of the fans’ favorite monsters, came with the latest free update to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and immediately showed in his intro cinematic that he is not to be trifled with.
The new monster is a brutal and aggressive beast with high physical strength and speed. He can also shoot lightning bolts and projectiles from his mouth in his rage mode.
This is what territory battles with Rajang look like: In his intro cinematic, he breaks off Kirin, an Elder Dragon and one of the strongest monsters in MHW, its horn and eats it right before our eyes. This demonstrates his massive strength. The brutality of Rajang’s territory battles can easily compare to any other monster in Monster Hunter World.
But even outside the cinematic, he successfully confronts Kirin. You only need to listen to the cracking of bones in the video.
The Thunder Pony is truly not to be envied. However, Kirin is not the only Elder Dragon that Rajang fights. The Elder Velkhana, which came with the Iceborne expansion to MHW, also gets its share of hits from the monkey. And here too, Rajang manages to bring his opponent to the ground.
Rajang also likes to take on one of the champions of territory battles and one of the most brutal monsters in the game: Deviljho. Jho may not be an Elder Dragon, but upon his arrival in the New World, he also caused spectacular fights.
In battles against other monsters, Jho likes to use his trusty suplex attack, which allows him to easily lift beasts like Diablos into the air. However, it doesn’t work as well with Rajang as it does with other monsters.
If you encounter Rajang on your hunting trips, try to lure him to another monster and pit them against each other. Big cinematic action is guaranteed.
This is what you get from Rajang: If you belong to the people who have successfully withstood Rajang’s beatings, then rewards await you. With the materials, you can for example craft his Alpha+ armor. It has the following stats:
- Head: Weakness Advantage 2, Crafting 2
- Chest: Fury 2, Quick Sharpening 2
- Armguards: Fury 1, Crafting 2
- Waist: Weakness Advantage 1, Crafting 1
- Legs: Fury 2, Attack Boost 2
- Set bonus with 2 pieces: Rajang’s Rage 2, grants the skill “Inner Eye / Ballistics” (prevents attacks from bouncing off. Reduces the distance before ammunition and arrows reach maximum power)
- Set bonus with 4 pieces: Rajang’s Rage 4, grants the skill “Protection Polish” (weapon sharpness does not decrease for a certain time after sharpening)
The “Beta+” armor has slightly fewer abilities, but more space for decorations.
Have you fought against Rajang already? What did you think of the monkey?
