Let’s be real—Monster Hunter Wilds Ajarakan is not here to make friends. This fiery Fanged Beast is basically a walking rage volcano that shows up in the Monster Hunter Wilds story quest "Ajarakan Ablaze" and immediately tests if you’ve actually been paying attention during hunts. It's fast, aggressive, and set on turning you into monster jerky with its explosive attacks.

If you’re soloing this fight, buckle up—it’s one heck of a brawl. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back with a complete breakdown of how to beat Ajarakan Monster Hunter Wilds without losing your sanity (or all your potions).

Get Started

MH Wilds Ajarakan isn’t shy about throwing hands—or claws, lava, rocks, and occasionally you. Learning its moves is step one if you want to walk out of Oilwell Basin in one piece.

Ground Punch

Two fists, double the pain. Easy to dodge or guard—unless it's in Ignited Phase, where the punches explode. Yes, literally.

Side Swipe

A casual "get off me" swing that becomes lava-spitting fury in Ignited Phase. Back-dodge it like your life depends on it—because it does.

Shoulder Slam

This one’s a crowd-pleaser: shoulder bash, charge, and a pool of fire to top it off. Don’t try to tank it—sidestep that chaos.

Rock Toss

Flaming boulders. Poor tracking, but don’t get cocky. Ignited Phase switches rocks for lava bombs. Stay mobile.

Tail Slam

If you're chilling behind Ajarakan, it’ll remind you why that’s a bad idea. Tail slam incoming! Want it to stop? Cut off the tail.

Ground Slam

Full-on "HULK SMASH" energy. Massive AOE damage—either roll away or use this moment to grab a quick snack from your item bar.

Lava Charge-Up

This is the Ignited Phase starter pack. Ajarakan heats up and all its attacks get way nastier. Keep pressuring it here—wounding parts mid-charge makes a big difference.

Lava Slam

The claws go boom. Watch for the tail pounding—it’s the telegraph. Once it starts glowing bright, circle behind it to stay safe and dish out damage.

Ground Roll & Slam

This beast turns into a giant rolling pin of doom. Once it finishes its tumble and slams down, you get a juicy damage window. Don’t waste it.

Dive Attack

If Ajarakan disappears above you, it's prepping to go full WWE from the ceiling. Get ready to dodge the fallout. The AOE hurts.

Grab Attack

This one’s personal. Ajarakan picks you up, screams in your face, then slams you to the floor. Don't let it grab you—just... don't.

Ajarakan Weaknesses

You’re not helpless here. Ajarakan has weak spots—so let’s exploit them like a true hunter.

Damage Type Weakness

Both Sever and Blunt damage work great. Aim for these weak zones:

• Head – Big damage, easy wounds.
• Left & Right Foreleg – Also solid.
• Tail & Tail Tip – Chop it off to disable tail attacks. Avoid the torso (Back, Belly, Hind Legs). It’s tanky and a waste of time.

Elemental Weakness

• Best Elements: Water and Ice
• Completely Immune: Fire (obviously)
• Status Effects (2-star): Poison, Sleep, Paralysis, Blastblight, Stun, Exhaust

Useful Traps & Items

You're gonna need more than just a sharp weapon.

• Nulberry & Deodorant – Cure Fireblight and Blastblight. Essential.
• Flash Pod – Interrupt its lava fiesta.
• Shock Trap & Pitfall Trap – Classic "stay still and let me whack you" setup.
• Flashflies – Use the environment! Nature's version of flashbangs.
• Chillmantle Bugs – Reduces heat effects so your health bar doesn’t evaporate.

Strategy to Beat Ajarakan

Alright, here’s the game plan:

• Stick to the sides. The front legs and head are your bread and butter for damage, but stay mobile to avoid side swipes and slams.

• Cut off the tail. It's worth the effort—removes tail attacks and adds bonus carve rewards.

• Punish Ignited Phase smartly. It’s dangerous, but it’s also an opportunity. Stay aggressive if you know the move set—you can wound and break parts while it’s powering up.

• Watch for openings. Moves like Ground Roll & Slam give you solid windows. Don’t waste stamina flailing between attacks—strike with intent.

• Use traps. When it gets wild, reset the tempo with a trap or flash. Create your own openings.

Ajarakan Drops

Get ready to cash in. Drops differ based on your rank.

Low Rank Drops

• Ajarakan Scale, Shell, Ridge, Tail – Common
• Ajarakan Jewel, Certificate, Monster Hunter Wilds Ajarakan Marrow – Rare

High Rank Drops

• Scale +, Ridge +, Carapace, Tail – Frequent
• Jewel +, Medulla, Marrow, Certificate S – You’ll need that Lucky Voucher. Don’t forget to use a Lucky Voucher to boost your rewards post-hunt.
