What are Rajang weaknesses, resistances, & drops | Monster Hunter Rise

Monster Hunter Rise allows players to track down and hunt the most formidable monsters in the wild. Each of the beasts populating the world of Monster Hunter Rise offers a unique challenge. The farther players progress through the campaign, the more challenging these monsters become. One of the story's more formidable foes, the Rajang, is an electric ape known as Destruction Incarnate. One wrong move and hunters will end up dead, which is why it's essential to know the Rajang's weaknesses, resistances, and drop rates before fighting the foe for the first time.

All Rajang Weaknesses

Rajang Elemental Weakness

Rjang's main weakness is ice. Make sure to pack a weapon imbued with this element before heading out into the field. If you don't have an ice weapon, water is your only other option, though the increased damage from this element is minuscule. Do not use fire, thunder, or dragon weapons on the Rajang, as it is immune to these damage types.

If you've got an ice weapon, be sure to focus your attacks on the Rajang's Head to deal the most damage to this monster.
