Monster Hunter Wilds: Find and Beat Ajarakan

Locating Ajarakan in Monster Hunter Wilds

The initial encounter with Ajarakan occurs during a repelling mission in the Firespring Festival, where two Ajarakans attack Azuz. After this story-driven battle, Ajarakan can be found exclusively in the Basin, primarily on the lower two levels, avoiding Azuz's location. They inhabit areas with lava pools, necessitating Cool Drinks to manage the heat.

Defeating Ajarakan for the first time unlocks the "Scorching Simian" Optional Quest, allowing repeated engagements.

Strategies for Defeating Ajarakan

Facing Ajarakan is akin to battling a fiery wrestler. It employs elbow drops, bodyslams, and fiery rages, creating pools of fire. Effective tactics involve waiting for it to perform charges or slams before attacking while it recovers.

All weapons are effective against Ajarakan, with Water-based weapons providing an advantage. Target the head and arms, especially when fire pools are absent, to exploit its weak spots. Severing the tail yields the Ajarakan Tail part, and targeting wounds in the back and rear regions may drop Ajarakan Jewels.

Utilize Flashflies in the Basin and Flash Pods to your advantage. Inflicting status effects such as Paralysis and Stun can halt its Blastblight and Fireblight attacks temporarily. Expect Turf Wars, as Ajarakan's aggression often leads to conflicts with other monsters, which can be used to wear it down.

Ajarakan Drops

Ajarakan guarantees an Ajarakan Certificate upon defeat, along with numerous Ajarakan Scales and Shells. Breaking the back or tail can yield Ajarakan Ridge and Tail parts, while the Ajarakan Jewel and Marrow are rare drops. Targeting the head increases the likelihood of obtaining marrow.

Crafting Ajarakan equipment can be challenging, particularly the Ajarakan Helm, which requires rare items such as Ajarakan Jewel, Marrow, Tail, and the certificate. The Ajarakan Mail and Ajarakan Greaves also necessitate the jewel.
