Defeat the Anjanath in monster hunter world. Weak to water, it uses powerful bites, charges, and fire breath when enraged.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You will likely find the Anjanath in AREA 12 of the Wildspire Waste, attacking a Great Jagras.
  2. 2
    After your hunter's initial strike, the Anjanath will throw the Great Jagras at you before attacking in earnest.
  3. 3
    The Anjanath is a strong monster with high aggression, damage, durability, frequent roars, and charges that can knock hunters off-balance.
  4. 4
    When enraged, indicated by its frills extending, the Anjanath becomes more aggressive and uses its most damaging attacks, including fire breath.
  5. 5
    Fire breath attacks include a powerful blast that can one-hit-kill hunters and a wide-area sweep. If caught on fire, dodge roll three times to extinguish the flames, or roll in water for an instant effect.
  6. 6
    The Anjanath attacks with bites, kicks, tail sweeps, short rushes, and a powerful ground-rending mouth-plowing assault. It can also leap great distances.
  7. 7
    While formidable up close, it can also attack from a distance with leaps.
  8. 8
    The Anjanath's head, legs, and tail are breakable. Its head and tail are vulnerable, with the head being more receptive but also more dangerous to attack. Attacks from behind are generally less damaging than frontal assaults.
  9. 9
    The Anjanath is weak to Water, resistant to Fire, and not particularly weak to any ailment, especially Blast.
Tips
  • When enraged and its frills are up, avoid being in front of the Anjanath due to its devastating fire breath attacks.
  • Focus attacks on the head and tail, but be aware of the increased damage risk when targeting the head.
  • Use Water element weapons to exploit its weakness.
  • Be prepared for its aggressive charges and powerful bites.
  • If you are on fire, dodge roll three times or roll in water to extinguish the flames.

After the battle, return to Astera. Speak with The Commander about plans to capture Zorah Magdaros, then speak with The Handler. The next assignment, One for the History Books, will become available. Before proceeding, consider upgrading your armor to at least 100 Defense using Armor Sphere+ items obtained from bounties, which are now more complex but offer better rewards.
