Is it me, or Rajang is too strong and fast?

In comparison to other titles this ape is ridiculously overpowered. His punches do more damage, including his projectiles, and his animations are faster. I tried every wep on this overpowere Ape, but no results. Does anyone know how to beat it? Rajang became a meme now...

No one tell them about hyper rajang.

Furious Rajang actually has varied moveset which means he is less likely going to waste your time spamming the same unpunishable moves like the consecutive punches.

Consecutive punches is definitely punishable, when you duck under it's arms you can attack it's body and tail, he has a lot of moves when we jumps back as well, for a GS main it's no problem because I can accurately predict it's moves then charge and attack when it gets in my range. His recovery speed is very fast, and he punishes you for punishing him, an example being when you try to knock him into a wall. He can hold himself upright then counter attack. Other than those nasty aspects, his weaknesses from previous games are still there, where when you learn where he's going to be 3secs ahead of time, you can still punish him hard, as well as attack him while he attacks. When you get into the routine of making favorable exchanges, he still dies very fast due to having low health.

Like all monsters he can be stun locked when you time it correctly, I think he is a lot harder and faster than the older games, specifically because they had to buff him, because of all the features we have, like the mantles and clutch claw. If they just imported the old Rajang, he would get destroyed on the first day he got released.

ducking under his arms only work if you are already close to him, if for example he goes from cannon ball > punch and then repeat then there is nothing much you can do but watch. Unless of course you want to risk standing right in front of him and which case might get instant combo'd by his zero telegraph punches.

Also using a longsword if I am already at red gauge and Rajang is in super saiyan mode, I want to be waiting for opportunity to do helm breaker, and not foresight slash the punches for a measly 50 damage hitting his back, and it is way too risky to go into iai stance when he is in that mode because if he turns around and starts doing his ultimate slam move then its RIP in pieces as even successful iai counter will get you killed by it.

You need to kill it again because the armor is neat on its set bonus. Oh did i mention furious Rajang? XD

I don't know if you readed the thread or you just didn't get it. If I'm comparing the new world rajang to the old world one, behind the statemnt, it tells that I have played against the old rajang in the previous titles.

Btw, furious rajang armor set looks pretty ugly af and its stats don't have what I need in an armor for hammer mains (I'm talking about lvl.7 Attack boost, lvl.6-7 critical eye, lvl.3 weakness exploit, lvl3 critical boost). I'd preffer something else.

This is why Furious George is easier than the base version, and is actually one of the best fights in the game imo: still hits like a truck and punishes mistakes heavily, but has actual openings between attacks instead of coming for your ass like a methhead who is certain you have the fix he needs.

I really don't get it. Regular Rajang has so many openings, too?



When he does his laser attack, there's an opening.

When he does his grab attack and misses, there's an opening.

When he does his spinning punch attack, there's an opening after (there's a moment where he appears to be dizzy).

When he does his multiple punch attack, there's an opening (literally just get behind him and attack while he's punching).

When he does his 3 ground pound punch attack, there's an opening after the 3rd pound.

After he does his ultimate slam attack, there's an opening.


These are just some examples and I'm sure I'm missing some others, but I hope you get the idea.

Buddy you allright there? Someone clearly hasnt played older monster hunter games huh?

Rajang is kind of overtuned compared to every other monster in the game. He deals mostly physical damage with no status gimmicks so you can't just slap on a specific skill and negate half the fight. Meanwhile, he's also combo heavy and he has one of the fastest ultimate attacks in the game.

That said, he still has telegraphs and patterns like everyone else, so you will beat him eventually.

No I don't and I figured out how to kill it as I mentioned in a comment of mine, unfortunately for YOU (and i mentioned in a comment how after your comment)

"you need an easy mode for Rajang so your feelings dont get hurt for not beating him?"

Idk if you were being sarcastic or not, you can get banned from the forum for not doing a constructive comment. I'm just warning you because the way you are advancing things on your way aren't helping anyone, inclusively you.

Bu i did beat it anyways. Traps like Shock Trap and Pitfall trap (can be used only when that thing is mad), environmental damage (like environmental traps and toads like paratoad, sleep toad, etc) and when that monster is using it's breath attack when you finally lured it into a corner, its a good time to use the slinger and send it against the wall and then theres your chance.

And for your information, smartass, the new world's rajang is very different from the old world's prodecesor in terms of stats, and seems that you are the one who didn't even play the older titles at all to compare petween the new world's rajang and the one of old world. Your attempt to to sound superior is just cringy just like another idiot who calls everyone a scrub in this thread. So keep your mouth shut and think twice before writting dumb things and go back doing your homework. And btw you just discovered monster hunter classic titles on a freaking emulator since a month or two acording to your low quality screenshots, and that doesn't make you look like a veteran, but a wannabe, and you can also cheat in a emulator also.

Rajang used to be slower and way more predictable (except at high rank, where the AI could suddenly decide to fight walls instead of you), along with being a literal walking weakspot. It was basically the same kind of punching bag Odogaron is in World. Rajang was even the easiest Apex monster to hunt, despite sharing the best reward pool with Deviljho.

Thanks for proving my point.

that wasn't a trait exclusive to rajang, everything was slower and more predictable
it's a fundamental difference between world and the older generations

rajang was the quickest apex to hunt in ideal circumstances, not the easiest
it's a different story when you're talking pug hunts, not 140s with /mhg/
