Conquer Ajarakan: Expert Tips, Strategies, and Weaknesses
ADVERTISEMENT

As you journey through the campaign of Monster Hunter Wilds, you’ll eventually arrive at the Oilwell Basin, a stifling environment where magma simmers beneath the surface, fueling a massive iron forge. This region is inhabited by a diverse array of creatures adapted to the intense heat—some simply revel in the dry warmth, while others draw strength from the unending underground fires. Among these beasts is the Ajarakan, a type of Fanged Beast. This formidable creature is not only swift but becomes even more powerful when in groups.

During the story quest titled "Ajarakan Ablaze", your actions in the Oilwell Basin will trigger a disaster, causing magma to erupt violently from the ground. Swarms of Ajarakan will then run rampant, wreaking havoc in the town of Suja until you step in to quell the chaos. This hunt can be particularly challenging for lower-level players, especially if they are unprepared for its fast-paced changes. However, like any monster, the Ajarakan can be defeated with the right gear, preparation, and tactics. Here’s what you need to know about tackling this fiery foe in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to Prepare for Ajarakan

What to Bring

Shortly after completing the mission "Fight or Flight," you’ll encounter your first Ajarakan. If you have some time between the two hunts, take a moment to replenish your supplies. You may also run into Ajarakan later on in the Wyveria region once it’s unlocked. Be sure to stock up on Potions, Cool Drinks, and Nulberries. Cool Drinks are crucial during this battle as they’ll help regulate your body temperature and prevent steady HP loss due to the extreme heat.

Chillmantle Bugs can provide additional resistance against Ajarakan’s high temperatures if you’re fortunate enough to find one.

Ajarakan can inflict two distinct status effects: Fireblight and Blastblight. Bring along the necessary items to counteract these effects. Fireblight decreases your HP over a span of 30 seconds, while Blastblight causes your character to explode after a set amount of time. You can relieve both conditions by using Nulberries or by dodging three times. I found that Ajarakan is relatively vulnerable when attacked from a distance, making it easier to roll away from the negative effects if you keep your distance.

For this fight, wearing equipment that offers resistance to Fireblight and Blastblight is wise. Ajarakan also has a Weak Roar attack that may cause Minor Tremors, so items featuring the Earplugs or Tremor Resistance skills will be helpful. If you plan to bring traps to weaken or capture the Ajarakan, Flash Pods, Shock Traps, and Pitfall Traps are all effective choices. Note, however, that Sonic Bombs may have limited effect on this monster.

Ajarakan’s Weaknesses & Status Effects

Being a fire-oriented monster, Ajarakan is particularly susceptible to Water and Ice attacks. Wielding weapons that utilize these elements will inflict extra damage; however, you don’t necessarily need them to be victorious. Just remember, Ajarakan is highly resistant to Fire damage, so avoid using Fire-themed weapons in this battle.

The table below outlines Ajarakan’s elemental weaknesses as well as damage effectiveness depending on the body part being targeted. Keep in mind that targeting specific areas can enhance your damage output, based on the weapon’s elemental type.

Body Part Cut Blunt Ammo Fire Water Thunder Ice Dragon
Head 3★ 3★ 3★ Ineffective 2★ 1★ 1★ 1★
Left Foreleg 3★ 3★ 3★ Ineffective 2★ 1★ 1★ 1★
Right Foreleg 3★ 3★ 3★ Ineffective 2★ 1★ 1★ 1★
Belly 2★ 2★ 2★ Ineffective 1★ 1★ 1★ 1★
Back 2★ 2★ 2★ Ineffective 2★ 1★ 1★ 1★
Left Hind Leg 2★ 2★ 2★ Ineffective 1★ 1★ 1★ 1★
Right Hind Leg 2★ 2★ 2★ Ineffective 1★ 1★ 1★ 1★
Tail 3★ 3★ 2★ Ineffective 1★ 1★ 1★ 1★
Tail Tip 3★ 3★ 3★ Ineffective 2★ 1★ 1★ 1★

Ajarakan is equally vulnerable to all of the status effects listed below:

  • Poison
  • Sleep
  • Paralysis
  • Blastblight
  • Stun
  • Exhaust

In summary, Water is the most effective element against Ajarakan, though Thunder, Ice, and Dragon attacks are also viable. Any physical damage type is equally effective, so even if you lack a weapon that targets its weakness, you can still make progress with standard gear. Aim for the areas in front or behind Ajarakan, as those are its weakest spots, while the back and hind legs are slightly tougher.

Ajarakan’s Weak Points & Moveset

Ajarakan is armored with molten metal, making it tough, but it has a single weak point: its forearms. You can break its back for extra rewards, and by severing its tail, you can also gain additional materials. Breaking the back boosts your chances of acquiring Ajarakan Ridges, while chopping off the tail may yield Ajarakan Tails too.

In general, Ajarakan is focused heavily on melee attacks. Its powerful arms slam down in front of it while its long tail swings behind. Ajarakan’s tail attacks are easy to predict, allowing you to dodge effectively by staying behind it. It also occasionally jumps around or slides across the arena, using its heavy back to inflict damage and knock players back.

One solid strategy against Ajarakan is to maintain distance using a ranged weapon like the Bowgun. When it attempts to rush you or throws molten rocks, you can easily evade and keep firing.

If you find yourself in the Oilwell Basin during the fight, there’s a unique opportunity near the forge. If you aim your grappling hook at the lever sitting on the forge and activate it, the forge door will slam open, dealing substantial damage to Ajarakan. Time your shot while the beast is focused on the molten metal inside.

Ajarakan Materials & Rewards

Below are the potential drops you can obtain by defeating a low-rank Ajarakan, along with their drop frequency. Materials marked with a higher frequency indicate that they will appear more often. Don’t forget, you can break specific parts or capture Ajarakan to enhance your chances of obtaining rarer materials.

Material Frequency
Ajarakan Scale 3
Ajarakan Shell 3
Ajarakan Ridge 3
Ajarakan Tail 3
Ajarakan Jewel 2
Ajarakan Certificate 1
Ajarakan Marrow 1

With the materials you’ve gathered from Ajarakan, you’re ready to start crafting in the Ajarakan weapon tree, which features a series of powerful Blast-elemental weapons. You can also invest these items into Ajarakan armor, offering strong mid-game protection that aids in breaking larger monster parts. Either way, accumulating Ajarakan materials will set you up for victory in Monster Hunter Wilds.
