Evil Afoot – Monster Hunter Rise
Our next quest in Monster Hunter Rise is the 7-Star Hub Quest, Evil Afoot. We’re off to the Lava Caverns to hunt a Rajang. You’ll find the location of the Rajang highlighted on the map so he’ll be no issue to track down.
A d-d-demon, I tell you! A demon! No one’s safe with that thing around! No one! The Felynes, the dango, the twins – ME! Oh my God! ME! I’m not safe! AHHHHHH! Hunter! What are you doing!? Go get rid of that thing!
Monster Hunter Rise
Rajang is a Fanged Beast Class Monster found in the Shrine Ruins, Frost Islands, Sandy Plains, Flooded Forest, and Lava Caverns. It is weak to Ice and Water elemental damage.
Rajang uses the Thunder element in many of its most dangerous attacks, so high Thunder Resistance is key for this fight. It has the ability to avoid or destroy traps so pinning it down with them will be difficult. In a rage it can destroy Shock Traps, so only put them down if it is not enraged. While in its normal form it will avoid pitfall traps.
Part of what can make it so devastating to fight is that it can inflict Thunderblight with its attacks. Thunderblight makes it more likely for you to be stunned, which when paired with this monster means you’ll be unable to avoid its follow up attacks or combos. To prevent Thunderblight altogether, your Thunder Resistance must be higher than 20. Above 20 points in Thunder Resistance and you’ll gain total immunity to the Thunderblight status, as well as dampen the damage from some of Rajang’s most powerful attacks.
Carves, Drops, and Rewards for slaying a High-Rank Rajang can include; Rajang Blackfur, Rajang Claw +, Rajang Fang +, Rajang Tail, Gold Rajang Pelt, Beast Gem, Great Stoutbone, Rajang Horn +, and Large Beast Tear.
