Monster Hunter Now: How To Find And Beat Rajang

As a seasoned Monster Hunter Now player with countless hours spent dodging, tracking, and slaying some of the most fearsome beasts this universe has to offer, I must say that the arrival of the lightning-fast, furious beast known as Rajang has me truly excited!


It was inevitable that the ape monster Rajang would show up in Monster Hunter Now. Known by various monikers among enthusiasts, one of the most popular being Furious George, Rajang has always been a formidable force since its entry into the series. It shakes the ground violently, grabs Hunters to squeeze them mercilessly, and even alters its shape, much like Goku from Dragon Ball Z, to unleash devastating attacks.

In Monster Hunter Now, it’s not surprising that Rajang isn’t typically accessible without certain conditions – players need to reach a particular milestone in the Season 3 Story Questline before they can battle him normally. However, during the 1st Anniversary event, Hunters are encountering Rajang, Aknosom, and Magnamalo in the wild. This guide will cover tips for defeating Rajang, as well as detailing all the items you can gather to craft new weapons and armor from them.

To encounter Rajang in the wild, you must complete a time-sensitive mission within Season 3’s narrative, where you have to battle Rajang solo. Unlike Aknosom who shows up earlier, it’s uncertain when exactly Rajang will join the fight. This guide will be revised as more information becomes available. After defeating Furious George in Story Mode, you can locate the thunder-element ape in any of the three biomes: forest, swamp, or desert. Regrettably, you cannot rely on the Monster Tracking system for guaranteed encounters with Rajang.

In Monster Hunter Now, Rajang stands out as the most formidable of all monsters, with Magnamalo coming in a close second. The rapid speed of Rajang can be quite tricky to dodge effectively, even at ideal moments. A better strategy might be to prioritize dodging attacks rather than striving for perfect evasions, until you become accustomed to its swift tempo. It’s also crucial to be on the lookout for when Rajang charges up its energy, as it gains the ability to unleash a massive thunder-based attack that can be hard to dodge. Once charged, Rajang can enter a “Rampage Mode,” making its fists incredibly solid and increasing the impact of its attacks.

As a fan, I’d like to share some strategies that can help you tame down this formidable foe. One method is to deliver a well-timed blow to its tail while it’s active, or alternatively, employ Sleep weapons to transport it to a peaceful slumber. Interestingly, Ice seems to be Rajang’s primary vulnerability, so consider upgrading a melee weapon like the Great Sword to a high level before attempting to hunt this primate at higher rankings.
