Tips

1. Rajang is a loner, agressive to anyone who enters his territory. Start the fight by luring him to another big monster or attack him while riding a Wyvern.
2. You'll know that the monster is enraged once you see his fur turn golden. The activation of the enraged status is signalized by a loud roar. When enraged, Rajang is extremely dangerous - his forelegs become stronger, allowing him to destroy traps without losing damage on them. A few accurate shots fired at his tail will restore Rajang to his basic state.
3. When enraged, Rajang fists glow red and he is resistant to most attacks. Moreover, his strikes are faster and deal more damage. In this state, the monster also has a jump attack up his sleeve.
4. After removing his enraged status, Rajang is easily knocked down - once in that state, deal as many blows as possible, preferably targeted at the head.
5. After a few attacks, Rajang will get tired and will stop attacking. Some of his attacks, such as the jump attack or firing lightning bolts open an opportunity to counter-attack. The key to winning this battle is to synchronize dodges with Rajang's attacks and deal damage after them.
6. To avoid being struck when fighting Rajang, use a Wirebug. Before starting the battle, look for an additional Wirebug found in this area and watch the charge bar during combat.
