Rajang experience

[Velkhana's Summer]

Anyone wanna share your first memories?

I know mine was when it first starts you out of the cutscene he ripped me off and threw me into the lava pit xD Lesson one instantly learned, don't be greedy with flinch shots. If you don't know the openings, leave it to someone else if you are in SOS or just keep poking his face and butt. Lesson two was learned when I thought I shouldn't dolphin dive his ape slam and got sent into the heavens. Still one of my favorite fights atm right behind velkhana.

The giant slam he does still gives me trouble, I've i-framed it a few times but I don't have the timing down and you get punished really hard for messing it up.

you need to have distance and weapon sheathed for the most part especially without evade extender. then roll directly away from him, if you try to go to any side you have a chance to get hit, when he initially jumps up and is first off the ground he peaks at a high point, that is when you want to start roll as he locked onto your location and it doesn't heat seek like nerg. As for the case where you have to eat it with weapon equipped. He's using his arms in the attack so you want to head to his tail with you side hop or whatever it may be. I've done it a couple times with lance when i didn't have the stamina to block or time to sheath, makes me sweat lol.

Wore a temporal Mantle and he peel me off like a banana, threw me away and follow by grand slam. Never survive the hit.

Note to myself : KEEP YOUR DISTANCE AWAY FROM THIS APE!

The only thing I remember from the special assignment is the feeling of extreme relief once it started limping.

I first faced him in MH4 (started playing in Tri)

As a long time Capcom fan I couldn't help but compare him to Blanka and thought he was kinda goofy if not challenging.

The new incarnation though is just awesome. Terrifying beast indeed! My first pin resulted in a cart, I thought he was done with me- but then he lifted that big arm of his above his and before I knew it I was a hunter pancake.

I remember in 4U, Apex Rajang gave me my first "Oh ♥♥♥♥" moment in MH (started in MH3). I bounced off of Apex Jang's arms in SA sword form and went "Oh ♥♥♥♥, that's not normal".
World's wasnt as bad tho, I'm excited for Furious.

Honestly I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know that SA sword mode bouncing was even a thing.

Seriously?

in 4u. fighting Apex w/ group
On last faint.

I was sent flying, and was stunned.

He picked up a rock.



I swear i could feel my bones breaking irl

I was getting through MHFU with a friend that was already a veteran in the series, so he kinda helped me understand the game, we really liked to do the urgents quests together so he can watch my reaction to any new monster for me.

For Rajang he really warned me but I was in a killstreak of a lot of quests without dying since I farmed my Nargacuga armor so i felt pretty confident in my skills.
Although it wasnt THAT bad for my first time (I carted twice tho), for some reason I tried to hunt him without the Narga armor and MAN I really noticed a big difference.

Evasion +2 really carried me thru a lot of the game...

I really got what my friend was trying to tell me when we get to hunt a Furious Rajang.

Sword Form naturally has Mind's Eye, so I had, at that point, been used to Sword Form being just a shredder of monsters with it; Apex Rajang made me wish I had like two, maybe three different mind's eyes because boy, that bounce with sword form changed my perspective on a lot of things in MH
Luckily, Jang doesnt have the bounce in Sword Form in MHW, unless Furious brings it back

[Washing Machine]

My first reaction was "Yo he tiny wtf".
I was expecting Donkey Kong, instead it was Diddy Kong.

[General Jelly Jiggler]

I sneezed, he pushed me to the ground and banana slammaed me into the dirt.

[Viece]

My special assignment the savage deviljho fight him for me while i hide in the bush.
