I don’t like Rajang! I don’t! I especially hated Apex Rajang! I just didn’t beat it in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. If I have to fight that damned beast, I’ll get whatever ice equipment I can and try to blow it up, but I know it is going to be a tough fight. Like I love the challenge Monster Hunter provides, but this can be too much sometimes when facing off against Rajang. — Jenni

Nergigante… I love this spiky friend, but to this day, I don’t know how to dodge its big supersonic slam thing. I can deal with pretty much anything else in the game, but when it comes to Nergigante, it always comes down to whether I can do enough damage before it gets a third one of these moves off, and I’m sent back home in a cart! — Elliot

Monster Hunter World threw a lot of curveballs with some tough monsters over its time, but Lunastra will always stick out as one of the most annoying but enjoyable. Good luck if you don’t bring any cold drinks, as she will destroy you. Fortunately, ice is a solid weakness if you can exploit it. — Cody

Now that we’ve shared which Monster Hunter creatures gave us the most challenge, we are curious about which monster you struggled with the most in the Capcom franchise. Please let us know in the comments!
