The Complete Furious Rajang Guide - Moveset Analysis, Set Recommendations, Pod/Boaboa Abuse | MHW IB

(timestamps for skipping around are below. Video contains general info, weapon/item set recommendations, environmental/misc factors to abuse, and a detailed breakdown of every move Furious Rajang can use and their tells + how to punish them)
Good grief, making this video made me hate video editing. Ended up taking 50ish hours of editing alone - I really need to get more efficient lol. I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labour! I've tried to include as much relevant information as possible, while aiming to tailor the video to those struggling with the fight who need help, and trimming out the fat to keep the video as lean as I could. Hopefully the result is decent ^^

Spreadsheet info:
I have a spreadsheet which collects all sorts of data on Monster Hunter World Iceborne that people ask about a lot - things like the materials needed to upgrade the best charms (e.g. handicraft, expert etc), a list of all the guiding land monster drops and gathering nodes (plus it's searchable), what materials you need for every possible augment (attack, affinity, defence, health, slot, element/status) in the game, etc:
docs.google.co...
It also includes things like a list of ALL the 4 slot decorations (including even the rare 12 ones which ONLY drop from sealed feystones) so you know the best deco's to aim for when farming. It even has detailed images for the guiding land gathering nodes (the one's that drop materials like the guiding dragonbones/crystals etc) which you need for custom weapon upgrades/augments!
My list of guiding land drops can be sorted either by drop type (so it finds the monster to fight for a particular part) or you can use it to just find the parts belonging to any monster (no more pulling your hair out over how to get those Enchanting Finehide/Trancehide for your health augments!). This goes up to and includes the tempered elders (speaking of which, check out my 5 slot tempered investigation farming macro if you haven't already!)
It also has a Safi'Jiiva relic checklist to easily monitor which awakened weapons you're missing from the new siege!
Feel free to point people to this doc if you think they would find the information useful :D

Pinning this comment so I can add anything I missed to it later ^^ pls do algorithm, thx if the tips here aren't enough for you, just take stickies lol Things I forgot to mention: - minds eye if you often accidentally hit the red arms

[@danielcontos5541]

I love watching all these movements in slow motion. It shows how much though capcom put into the making of these monsters. All the body movements make sense from an anatomical sense. He winds up for the moves how you would expect a primate to wind up.

[@theranmafan]

This guy: Kills Rajang in the first area. Me: Has run 3 laps around the map chasing Rajang before narrowly finishing before the time is up. I can only hope I get better at this fight thanks to your vids!

[@ConsOA]

You will! Just takes a bunch of practise, and also a run like the one i post takes quite a few attempts so dont worry, often i dont kill it in first area too!

[@davidc.8717]

I didn’t even know this was possible.....I’m on attempt 20 or so.

[@trashdood7773]

I gotta appreciate you putting in a math problem when you were missing footage. I don't think I've ever seen anyone else do that lol. Also, great video!

[@ConsOA]

haha i needed something to fill the space and my nerd ass couldnt come up with anything better lol

[@maui4564]

Wow you’re being very specific and showing good examples. Also you show things that go wrong aswell.

[@ConsOA]

Yeah i tried to give examples of stuff going wrong when i mentioned it specifically, but often i only saved footage where i was doing well so it was a little tough haha

[@Lorxboy98]

He has some audio ques as well. If you hear a bubbling that sounds like twist a bubble wrap, he's going to double attack, and if he make a lower pitched bubble noise, he's going to use ground lightning

[@stephenjohn2131]

You are natural bro this was amazing, hard work, huge effort and great guide, might be the best guide i have seen, i watch your channel from long time, iam happy to see it shine and seeing you are still delivering better than ever. Keep it up and i will look forward for more.

[@ConsOA]

Thank you ^_^ I really appreciate the kind words, makes the effort that went into this worth the time :D

[@CuttingEdges]

I’ll help with the names of the moves Charge Beam Thunderbolt Shock Wave Body Slam :^]

[@ConsOA]

thanks ^_^ is there an actual source for names or are you just using common sense and suggesting non-trash names?

[@CuttingEdges]

Cons OA Nah, no source, I just turned it into a Pokemon moveset haha

[@WisdomAkpan211]

@@CuttingEdges Lol it's funny he doesnt know they're pokemon moves cause at the end of the video he uses pokemon music if you listen carefully. Also, I would like to make a revision: either the charge beam or the thunderbolt should be replaced with electro ball cause the animation is more similar. The pokemon jumps up in the air and shoots a ball down.

[@ConsOA]

@@CuttingEdges holy shit im such a fuckin idiot lol. I didnt recognise charge beam and so the rest didnt register hahaha Also we need reversal on there somehow for when the fucker wont let me claw x_x

[@xaldynnemo47]

Honestly if there's only one thing to take away from this, it's that Rajang topples away from you in the direction you were facing when you flinched it. That is EXTREMELY useful to know and I've never seen it mentioned anywhere else before.

[@bobnewkirk7003]

Great Guide Cons. He shows up on PC in 4 days and this is going to help a lot of folks. Not going to lie, i'm just going to cheese him with stickies, till I get the heart for the HBG, but even then LBG isn't invincible. :D $45 btw ;)

[@ConsOA]

niceee, A+. And best of luck ^_^ stickies are actually insane

[@andrewr3403]

Great video! What kind of slinger pods are you using against him at the beginning to stun him?

[@ConsOA]

Thanks! And most likely thorn pods, tho i cant check atm

[@rayzhang7591]

The twist on frost craft set with natural 100% crit chance sounds good not just for rajang but other annoying monsters love moving around.

[@ConsOA]

yeah, im gonna use it more moving forwards, so i can afford to tcs more even when using frostcraft, should make the playstyle a bit more dynamic

[@liampaulgilbert]

What set/skills on your Great Sword? Thanks for this guide.

[@dor6156]

Thanks Cons! I still haven't got to fight Furious,still want to make all Raging stuff haha. Have you thought about doing this sort of guide to other difficult monsters?

[@ConsOA]

I have, it was in fact my original intention for this youtube channel, but they take so long to edit together and people find it hard to sit through 20 minutes of me rambling, so i ended up deciding to do them on occasion for fights ppl struggle with especially

[@dor6156]

[@freesiacrieyer8830]

How to triple wall bang Rajang : 1st wall bang it (duh!). 2nd MAKE SURE those Boa2 attk it(it a MUST) 3rd, wall bang it during the get up animation 4th, repeat the process 1-3 until 3rd wall bang Note : I usually single swipe him to force him facing the wall, so multiple swipe is not recommend(i never use the multiple swipe when using this trick so idk it effect)

[@ConsOA]

i had no clue this was possible, that's really cool. thanks for sharing! lots of free dps, damn

[@pickless8350]

Great guide!

[@lalakinghamog]

Thanks for reminding me to position away from the wall. I almost always get caught by that new counter. Plus the pitfall trick is suuuuper helpful for me. I personally use Tremor Res 1 for easy openings on slam + Mind's Eye because some attacks from some weapons come from weird angles and hit the arm accidentally during rampage.

[@ConsOA]

ah i cut out the bit where i mentioned minds eye x_x, ill add it to the pinned comments. Yeah its really nice, just because it means you dont get completely bodied because you accidentally hit the arm once lol and no problem, glad i could help ^^

[@tengkuhafiz4174]

The moves are and not limited to :- -Cart yo ass (red arms saiyan grab) -Fuck Rocksteady (triple lightning bomb) -Omaewa moe shindeiru (bellyflop oneshot) -Flinch shots? (Kelbi hop away from the damn wall -Damn you’re far (layser beam that pierces the hunter’s soul)

[@mistergoose69]

does anyone know what exactly makes rajang shakes his head on wake up?

[@bass.music.]

good stuff man

[@xeroeddie]

At this moment this fight seems like an impossible task. Him and Raging Brachy are so much harder than every other monster before. Guess I just have to keep on trying.

[@curnelio]

Same here. Furious Rajang and Raging Branchy are my top hardest monsters, and I can’t beat them solo.

[@abnormalmusic1477]

​@@curnelio for raging Brachydios: use insect glaive, you can easily dodge and counterattack most of his attacks.

Was the rajang MS Paint NSFW...

[@Nasa1423]

10:15 I've fought Rajang and Furious Rajang god knows how many fucking times, I've already lost count but it's close to 75 - 100 hrs worth of fight time, and I JUST found out that you can simply sprint away from this move... Oh boy my life is a lie. I realized it when I saw you're Mew are Number One first clear video you made (around 6 mins 25 secs in that vid,) after that I came here immediately only to find that iframing it is unnecessary, oh man how much time would I have saved during hunts had I known this?

[@ConsOA]

hahaha sorry you didnt know till just now, but im glad i could show it off! its a fairly easy move to dodge if you dont get screwed by knockdown timings and stuff

[@iranuk738]

Trying to fight him as a ls main is difficult

[@Death_by_Inches]

Yeah but what's that fkin popping sound when you fight him? Sounds like a bunch of bubbles or something . I honestly thought it was something wrong with my game.

[@netorodriguez9619]

I like it when you shill yourself, that way you get a bigger audience, I'll try the stickies lmao shalom!

Since launch I've fought rajang exactly once since they forced us to open the lava area that I have never hunted in until raging brachy. Rajang armor is useless to me and I hate his weapons so no reason to interact with him ever

I absolutely hate this monster and u have to run tremor res just for him.

@@ConsOA You're 100% right. Zekrom's teravolt and Reshiram's turboblaze are clones of mold breaker.
