Why is rajang called "rajang"?

[I LIKE DR PEPPER]

A more appropriate name would be "artificial difficulty". I get the powerful hits but the constant attacks that are impossible to dodge just to constantly link even more attacks makes many weapons obsolete against him when you could have been fine throughout the entire base game and expansion. He's an unesessary difficulty spike that doesn't fit with the natural progression of difficulty for the overall expansion.

Nothing is impossible to dodge. Rajang is just a fast monkey that needs a spanking.

Post the weapon you're using and people will answer with strategies.
Unless of course you don't want to be corrected.

Switch axe, great sword, great hammer, insect glaive, gunlance, and sword and shield.

Honestly, in terms of difficulty, he's not too bad. He's plenty fast, but his hitboxes are pretty poor for the most part and his AI is honestly the dumbest, least effective AI of all of the monsters atm. Imo, problematically so, since he's prone to literally attacking the air for no reason.

Once you realize that he's basically just a flailing ball of limbs and anger that can barely even aim for you half the time, you just have to dodge the attacks he can actually aim successfully, and punish when he starts randomly attacking the air, the wall, or some random bit of shrubbery.

[Greb]

He's a [ra]sta with a [j]giant right hook that makes people [ang]ry!

Seriously though like Raj is a kind of noble isn't it? In Indian folklore or whatever I dunno lol. Ang is like, Angst / Anger, so it's like, "Angry King" or something I dunno.

I WANNA WALK LIKE YOU, TALK LIKE YOU, IT'S TRUE

King Orangutan! I dunno.

Either way it works, it's a great name for a muscle monkey, for sure.

For no reason? He's literally a giant baboon with a testosterone level equal to 100 bull sharks surrounded by 4 hunters who are trying to kill him.

I assume you're talking about his multiple punch attack? If so, he's always aiming it at someone, so idk what you mean by "for no reason."

No, I've literally seen him start up dash attacks that send him careening in the direction opposite me, do his butt lunge away from me, and do his spindash off to the side, completely whiffing myself and my cat. All of which are problematic because the attack literally isn't being aimed at the thing stabbing him, and is just kinda going wherever the hell it wants.

He's been good at aiming the jumping strikes, uppercut, laser, and punch rush (but that attack really needs to have better hitboxes because it whiffs if you're too close to his body as the result of things like Foresight Slash phasing you part way into him.)

You get hit, you get knocked down (which is scripted), you start to get back up (which is scripted), then he hits you again before the game's coding allows you to move again (which is scripted).

It's scripted that you would get hit. It's specifically designed to be that way for the sole purpose to chain attacks that are by themselves very powerful. Your statement is either false for just not knowing the truth, or you are purposely spreading false information which is even worse.

Actually untrue. You can delay your recovery, and with Rajang's speed, you often want to do so.

I've solo'd him first try on Switch Axe without dying...
He's not that hard, just annoying. Stay in Axe-form to be mobile and don't forget to wallbang him whenever you can.
He is also not immune to traps, so you can abuse that as well.

You mean... Pin/grab attacks? Those all do like, no damage.

Besides, they literally tell you what to do in that situation with Rajang if you haven't figured it out along the way to Master Rank: use your slinger, specifically an ammo type that will cause a stagger/flinch.

Only attack rajang ever wombo comboed me with was when I got up too quickly. He hit me with a melee attack, jumped back, spit lightning on me and KO. I could of prevented that by simply laying on the ground.

I was thinking it was a stylised 'RAGING' pronounced RA(Y)-JANG (although they don't pronounce it like that in game so whatever).

On topic: Lure angry monsters towards other monsters and let the turf wars help you out.

Too bad he doesn't have one with diablos and you just end up getting double teamed.
