Having experienced the fuckfest that was soloing 4U raging brachy, i soloed him accidentally on my first try in my shitty fulgur angie/beotodus set, I even forgot to bring my mantles and blast resistance. But for sure that quest (and shara too), is the first one in iceborne that managed to come close to the difficulty level of 4U and 3U G rank. I can see why so many people are struggling with him.
@@patrickhall5121 Tbh I'm still struggling lol. I didn't beat it even once despite being able to solo pretty much the whole game (except Safi and Kulve), there's just something about it that makes me play so bad I always cart. I honestly don't care anymore, I would just love to kill one to get its armor in the smithy shop and never touch that quest again xD
i was unable to play for a good while, so im justing getting to him, and ive been at it for weeks...not gonna lie, its making me question how i got through the other master rank monsters solo....
Anyone on ps4 /5 still trying to beat him? Been tryin it a week now, i stand 0 chance. Also if i'm tryin to find quest partners for this, no one is interestet. I'm on PS, MR60 or something, SwitchAxe main. If you want to invite me : seminator007 on psn
For anyone wondering how you get blastscourge in the last phase: All his melee attacks will give it to you, upon direct contact with either his fists, tail, or horn. Having had the nasty experience of soloing this thing back in 4U (where just touching his explosive parts would instantly trigger a blast resulting in 3/4 of your health gone), i killed him solo pretty easily while still wearing my yucky G1 armor i used for the story. Raging brachydios is a monster that kills you not because he is difficult, but because most players are too cautious with him. Stick like glue to his legs, and don't be scared of hitting his orange parts: you have more then enough time to get out of the way before they blow up, and the explosion radius is pretty small too. Being aggressive with this monster is probably the easiest way to kill him, especially in the final phase. Also something that wasn't mentioned in the video that is important to remember: When he does his triple horn slam (the one that was mentioned), the first two attacks will cause explosions in a straight line outwards from where he slams the horn (similar to regular brachy's forward horn slam in rage mode). However, on the third attack, he will intentionally miss you, and then pull his head towards whichever side you're on, and the explosions will come out in a sort of curved pattern, usually straight towards the hunter. This caught me off guard the first time he did it, which resulted in a cart. It seems like a minor detail but it can definitely be the difference between life and death.
him turning on the third slamdown is super important, I don't know why he didn't mention it. Easiest way to dodge it is to just keep running backwards. A bit more advanced is to bait him to turn one way, and change direction (then you can be close enough to punish as well)
terrible advice, i use GS and HH, and whenever i hit his orange parts and the puddle drops - im still in the recovery when it explodes. Not everyone is an SnS user, you know.
My friend is a stereotypical greatsword main, only concern is the damage he deals, burns through a dozen potions a hunt, always charges straight at the monster, and yet somehow manages to never cart, easily earning his confidence. I'm a LBG user who gets startled by everything that moves, almost always playing cautiously, and if I'm not using LBG, I'm running a wide range support set with either SnS or Horn. None of that is important. It's just a good time playing together, and boy our first hunt against this lad is I fight I won't forget. So much fun. So many laughs. I don't know why you read this, I'm literally just rambling about whatever comes to my mind. Well, I hope you have a good day :)
as a GS main from Monster Hunter Freedom 1 there lies a primal urge to headlock stun all the monsters all the time, and if you stop your charge before it maxes out then you are a bitch unworthy of the big sword, its in the terms and conditions when you build one
Sometime's hunter's be too dependent on a wide range user!!! I know this for sure cause i always heal my teammate but they never like to heal themselves or bring LIFEPOWDER which is most important in every hunt!!!!
@Josh derp May be hard to wrap your head around but not everyone religiously plays this game and is able to beat most of the monsters with ease like a lot of no life fanboys can who play this game for 1000+ hours and than complain about how "easy" it is. Times like these I wish I had a nickle for every time I hear a fanboy go, *snort* "I can't believe you struggle with THAT monster. He's sooo easy."
I've only ever seen gameconomist try to help people be better hunters. If giving people the information they need to succeed is elitism then you guys are soft as fuck.
One thing i don't see anyone commenting about is how, on the final stage, the slime puddles deal recoverable damage. What that means is that each tick of damage you take from them becomes the red health that you can passively recover, and you can save a bunch of mega/max potions by bringing some Astera Jerky. I don't know why, but I've NEVER seen someone make use of the fact that Astera Jerky INSTANTLY recovers all of your red health. I wish more people used this trick, it's super nice mid hunt :D
FluffySpartan I’m gonna be honest, I was; probably still am, a salty Sammy. I’ve attempted this fight eight times today and failed each one. So I made it out of angry spite, apologies on my end.
Id recommend when he jump at you with a punch, wait and jump towards him not back or sideways because of his explosions, worked better than sideways or back dodges.
Aquashots really strong here. Slime starts going orange shoot his arms and head. When it's washed off switch to your sticky. USE SLUGGER 3. You can ko him 3-4 times per stage. Also when he locks down the room, you can still come in. So use that opportunity to grab more ammo. Save your sleep and paralyze ammo for the last stage. Having 2 Aquashots is super cheese but I farmed him 10 times in a row and only had about 6 carts total! Got plenty of Reactors
"here guys, just use this set to kill; raging brachy" *set contains raging brachy pieces* also i do not understand how to fit earplugs 5 into a set and still keep practically any important skills, 5 l3 decos is a lot :/
Extra tip for number 6: he always sweeps to the sides at the end of the 3rd attack, just continue running forward instead of the sides and you won't get hit
this helped me, thank you. the wall splashing and mounting worked wonders with this, the "diffuclty" for me usually comes from not having courage. but now that i have slayed him 3 times it really doesn't feel that bad, and i am slaying him non-stop until i get an immortal reactor for a raging sword and shield (my main beloved weapon).
I'm coming back to this video because I wanted to thank you for the tips that you provided. And also a timestamp as to when I finally beat Raging Brach. I was laser focused on attacking the head and forearms that I negated his legs.. I didn't realize how easy it was to trip RB. Had it not been for this video, I'd probably still be stuck on RB. I first fought him 01/2022, put the game down for a year to play Elden Ring, and a whole year later, finally whipped his candy ass. Thanks Gameconomist :)
Hi Gameconomist, just a note that i watched your counter raging brachy vid last night and using your tips i managed to solo both raging brachy and furious rajang this morning. THX VM
Fireproof mantle also tribializes the final stage's DOTs, you take so little damage from that that almost every weapon that has one single level of Health regen cancels the damage out. Plus it has a nice kinda long timer with a couple of good deco slots. I personally recommend it.
Hey I realize I'm a little late to this party but I just wanted to say that this guide was very helpful for me. I used the GS build you posted at the end, tweaked a little because I didn't have the same decos, and used that for my first solo kill. Thank you!
My friend ran a hh while I was a great sword. We got to the final stage and then my WiFi crapped out. It was so nerve racking to solo that final stage. We both somehow completed our hunts.
This is why I'm mainly solo. My net craps out a lot, so I'm afraid to join or start a public hunt, just to disappear in the middle of it. I don't even have the raid monster stuff, like Behemoth, KT and Safi. :/
I’m late to Iceborne and these guides have been tremendously helpful for getting through. Since everything’s unlocked now, I’ve kinda been ignoring the guiding lands and just been doing all the quests. This guy’s one of the first monsters that’s given me a real problem. I have to remember to double flinch him (I play IG). Now, if only I could find other people to play with……
@@pranav_k__ is this reaally true? Cause yall SWORE Rajang was easy compared to Ultimate yet Im playing it now and hes easy as hell compared to worlds ( Though worlds also has that bs animation lag cancel punch lol)
@@XonixDerps rajang has only one spin jump in world while he does 3 in a row in MH4U, and tempered rajang is nothing compared to Lvl 140 Apex Rajang. I solo'd the world one first time quite easily and took very few hits as I was able to dodge it easily so I found it much easier
@@pranav_k__ Past Rajangs however had a lot of lags in their attacks allowing for a rebuckle compared to IB Rajang whose faster with some kind of iffy attacks, APex I give you but now we aint talkin apex huh? At least I wasnt lol
Thanks for the tips. Gonna try out some of this. Ive been really struggling with this fight. I thought I'd have a harder time with Furious Rajang but... nope. I killed him first try, haven't been able to kill Raging Brachy yet,
truly unlucky. I 've fought him solo maybe 10 or 12 times and got one about every other fight. I was able to build his longsword and also upgrade my Fury and challenger charms. keep plugging away is all I can say. Cons/OA had a method to farm using the Palico plunderblade and while I got some of all the other parts, I never got an immortal reactor in roughly 10 or 12 runs. I hope the RNG gods smile on you soon.
@@pdureska7814 thanks. This is just how it goes sometimes I guess. Only killed furious 4 times and have 3 hearts. I just wish there was a better way than farming the same optional quest. Maybe we'll get an event quest with higher drop rates
As I experienced, in the last stage his SuperNova will be somewhere around 10-20 second after he does the scream that add extra lava pools all over the stage. So if you see this move, then stay away from the puddle and wait for his final blow.
I would just like to say that I'm very happy with myself because I just killed him in 19 minutes without dying, as opposed to my last attempt in which I beat him with 2 minutes left after carting twice. Don't let your dreams be dreams.
I think Capcom messed up When Furious Rajang is on Rampage he does a slime sound When Raging Brachydios is in his final stage he does a kind of furr-ish sound F Rajang doesnt have slime R Brachy doesnt have fur
Yeah I found that weird too. Me and my group were playing and I asked them if they heard Furious Rajang taking a dump and they all said yes lol! Thought we were the only ones
xX HoRiiZoN you just got to walk bang everything. Wall bang Kulve Taroth after softening her chest. Wall bang Shara cause some people are into that. Wall bang Brach daddy. Cause if Rage Gaming has taught me anything, you want to ride Brachy
Wall bang is for shooting games. Wall splat is for games like this. May sound the same but for whatever reason they can mean two different things to a gamer
Watch where you’re hitting. If the slime on its body turns red, it’ll soon drop a bright red slime pool that will explode, dealing high damage without blast resistance. The Immunity Mantle can be used to resist Blastscourge and Poison in one of the other areas. The glider mantle has some very good slots for gemming in Blast resist +3 if you have a level 4 Antiblast Jewel as well! If you’re being focused, use a flash pod to save yourself from being obliterated.
I actually managed to solo him first try with two carts. I have to say seeing his last oraora moment in person and the music change was an amazing experience haha. Been waiting for this moment ever since I learned about raging brachy before getting iceborne
Careful with Tip 6. The third horn attack won't target you. First two will indeed, but the third one will go 90° either left or right of Brachy, aiming for the other hunters
Also when he does his 3-in-a-row slime-ground-attack, the first two attacks extend in a line, but the third and final attack spreads horizontally. His tail slam is also explosive and has a ridiculous hitbox which is easy to underestimate.
@Tristen Matkowski using my gunlance set? Eh. He doesn't hit me often enough to warrant blast resist. The few times he does I usually have a mantle on or a health booster down and can completely ignore the blast detonations
@Tristen Matkowski hops are enough to move away from most things. And gunlance's clutch claw attack sends you away from brachy so you can use them to knock his red slime off and not drop into the puddle it leaves. I keep him enraged and most of his attacks will simply explode instead of leaving a puddle to blight you
my tips: 1) be patient and don't get greedy 2) wear blast protection 3} Use a HBG with sticky ammo 4) have at least one shield on your HBG and 3 levels of guard 5} make sure your temporal and fire mantles are available for the the last area. 6) have fortify in your build 7) I like having my cat use the Stooge to distract Brachydios. that's it.
sometimes in the last stage, I found a little tendency for raging brach to use his nova moments after he does the normal (non-stunning) roar that pops up more slime puddles. The moment raging brach roars to summon up more slime puddles, that's usually your cue to start avoiding the slime puddles. before his normal roar (and after his nova), it's relatively safe to take the risk in the puddles to dish out damage, especially if you have health regen augment and fireproof mantle
I’m pretty late to this , but his slime being washed off makes his attacks easier before the last stage. He won’t drop explosive pools. Also, his third explosive line is off center so you can just run backwards from it 😉
His nova's pretty weak compared to others though. As long as your armor is properly upgraded or if you have high elemental resistance I wouldn't bother with earplugs for a move he may use only once or twice. Waste of space in my opinion and I hunt solo dual blades.
Just beat him with the longsword solo. That was pretty damn difficult. I farted twice and ran fortify so by the end of it I had 1070 defense and I was still getting two shot and nearly dying. Got down to 1hp a few times and nearly failed the quest but didn’t thank god. The explosions are so hard to deal with. I took your advice and attacked the legs so I got several trips which was nice. The thing that I didn’t know is when you attack his claws and head while he’s down then the slime falls off and explodes on the ground which ruined my damage window a couple times until I started foresight slashing them. Not an easy battle
Just managed to get him after 5 hours of trying with my friend, came to see this video after I won to see what I missed. Somehow on our last try we got to the final phase without fainting once. (We lost twice in final phase before). Extra tip: using bomb pods or piercing pods dropped from him on his red slime can remove them (if you cant hit to exploit higher damage) it kept us alive.
Friendly reminder that water moss washes the slime off his parts, makes the fight incredibly easy. Dont need to wash the tail tbh, just the front. Oh, and there a bit of a cheese with the fight. Once he progresses to the volcanic region, for some reason, he stands on top of the eruption trap and just eats it for 450-600 damage. Easy part damage and redirecting him with sling shots helps. Just keep in mind as long as hes not aggro’d on you, he’ll stand on it every time
You recommend Raging Brachy and Golden Rathian pieces, which are both very hard to get when you're fighting him first time. Maybe give us some ~entry level~ gear as well?
Theres a tip here you missed I think in that he'll roar once before he does the roar to trigger the nova in the final stage so theres an extra warning to not stand on the pools especially cos he triggers them very quickly.
last tip: also remember every hit on rocksteady wears it off, so even if it exists to make you rock steady to hits, see it as an earplugs/tremor mantle and dont stop dodging whenever possible.
The handler actually tells you during the special assignment that ice slows the build up IF you bring an ice weapon the first time and can proc it enough to keep the fists cool
considering red slime seems to come about when he is enraged it is actually better to run water given that in icebourne you can pretty much permanently keep something enraged
Whenever I hunt, I play with my cousin. We're fairly okay at the game and Its the first game we played in the MH series. We can massacre most monsters with ease. However, it takes us about 20 to 25 for a rajang fight (that's cause we're super cautious with him). We always struggle with him. But when the two new monsters dropped, its like our struggles have flipped. We beat the shit out of furious rajang plenty of times but my god, we cannot get past brachy. We've tried like 12 times. But this video helps a lot. We'll surely beat him next time.
As he zones into the lat phase, you can try following him closely into the last room and flash pod him before he goes berserk (the Wreck It Ralph move), then you can also set a pitfall then a shock trap on him before he goes crazy. The best series of event that's happened for me before he turns berserk goes: 1) flash pod 2) shock trap 3) pitfall 4) mount 5) wall smash 6) sleep would have been perfect if he gets wall smashed again with an added paralyze after though :P
this video was amazig, I just unlocked the raging brachydios, and honestly I was realy scared of him. I haven't killed him yet, but I know that this is gonna help. thanks a lot bro
I find the frostfang hammer or GS to do very good. Frostfang barioth in the event quest "the last white knight" found on the last page of event quests. Get 3 tickets for a frostfang weapon. The hammer had 600 ice and good raw, it's also amazing for alat
My biggest issue in MH is people who take resistances for granted. I traded max ATK boost for DEF and holy shit its nice to not feel as squishy. Anti blast and fire resist are your friend
How do you trip him? I mean besides hitting it. I always hit the legs and never made him trip. I also main Charge Blade. Is there any skills to add to help trip or is it just certian weapons
Could you do a build with max might secret, heroics secret, weakness exploit, crit boost and adept stormslinger with 1 affinity augment for 100% affinity and stuff? I feel like it has potential.
Yes, I know the fortify will go away when the mantle is off. I more or less was referring to the message that will popup after I cart with Rocksteady on. It's a visual reminder that I did a stupid... I was not intending on stating that this works.
What's the deal with this monster? It can't be captured, but it's not an elder? What is his classification? Also it is harder than most elders, how come? I'm a bit confused.
I had no idea his slime hurt him, for good damage nonetheless! You get like 10% oh his total health down in that final stage just from him blowing himself up. The final room looms menacing, but can be easy if you know what your doing.
u can actually flash him before he close the arena, and the proceed with flinch shot him to the wall, and as usual, u can do it twice before its enrage
How the fuck did you sólo him with sns i can't even hit that bitch other than his legs and i do barely any damage. I go for the head, arms or tail and he bitch slaps me
@@guii5041 I just played like a coward poking him after every attack, and If I got hit I healed very easily because of speed eating. I died 2 times and it took like 35 minutes. it was NOT and enjoyable hunt, but every time I tried doing it with an sos team they would all die. PS I've only hunted him 2 times and I already have 4 pieces of his armour and his chargeblade because lol plunderblade
I came here to thank you. Haven't had my ass handed to me like this one did not even Barrioth . I'm not a huge fan of this fight but I am a huge fan of this game! I've mastered dual blades n i got them like tuned up the most . After I died so quick I Was little depressed like is this it is this my wall, something's off I'm not doing something right. So i went for a walk n decided to search RUclips for help ( first time honestly because everything else is obvious to me, but how do I fix blasting goo🤷♂️) . Saw your video, finally got some use for Ogre's jaw , stacked up in health n bought my palico a 😴 weapon. I made a pedant +2 blast n Crafted armor piece with+1 more just like u Said! Everything else pretty much the same swapped 2 decorations to save my ass from flames n boost my ice DMG. Slow ass fight but I've learned with these crazy monsters u just have to play it safe n that's what I love about this game. IMO u need to be good at few weapons at least. It was about surviving it wasn't Mayhem like I do with DB. All the huge monsters I need insect glaive because Huge hit box I can stay in air there's nothing they can do. That new Rathian did half of my job lol but everything went exactly it supposed to go. I'm no GS master But I Was getting those big hits in. G mantle made sure they wouldn't see me when the monsters went at it , it was beautiful. I Was worried about the pace I'm i running out of Time it felt I'm not doing enough DMG. I wall splatted him 3x n palico but him to sleep twice. Second time I put 2 bomb's n launched shit at him boom 💥😂😂 Then I saw it, mofo is limping this is ky moment. I couldn't believe it. It was a bitch bc he didn't go tk sleep so getting him into trap was a risk but I got it n good night in 30min n some change. Wasn't even a long fight it just felt like that . DB fuks Up your game Lil bit bc u think I have to Hit then million times a minute from every angle. But everything.*3 has been like Chess, Patience. Probably Used dozen of Mega potions but omg I'm hyped. I might have to upgrade some other weapons I was naive n thought poison DB and Dragon Glaive will take me to The end. I can't say If it's my favorite game of all time but it's so beautiful when the puzzle pieces hit, u get the flow n stay brave n confident n just beat their ass. Capcom really knocked it out the park with this one. Thank you again I was horrified if I get tired of trying n loose all my shit n have to grind again. Second try, didn't faint Once not even close TBH. ❤️🫡
Doesn't he hit like a truck? My armour is fully upgraded with 20 fire resist and he can kill me in two hits. Nova at the end dealt more than 100 damage. Only way to get more armour is by augmenting but I don't have the items yet.
Ok the tail tip with red slime is bad, but without the red slime is also bad? Or is that an error? Usually the tip of the tail is where you deal extra damage on monsters?

Id recommend when he jump at you with a punch, wait and jump towards him not back or sideways because of his explosions, worked better than sideways or back dodges.
There is a loading screen tips that says to use water damage and water pods to wash away the slime
Lmao this works? Nice will try this today.
ice works just the same
Aquashots really strong here. Slime starts going orange shoot his arms and head. When it's washed off switch to your sticky. USE SLUGGER 3. You can ko him 3-4 times per stage. Also when he locks down the room, you can still come in. So use that opportunity to grab more ammo. Save your sleep and paralyze ammo for the last stage. Having 2 Aquashots is super cheese but I farmed him 10 times in a row and only had about 6 carts total! Got plenty of Reactors
Bomb pods work too, if you can't find ammo, get a light weapon user to clutch claw
"here guys, just use this set to kill; raging brachy"
*set contains raging brachy pieces*
also i do not understand how to fit earplugs 5 into a set and still keep practically any important skills, 5 l3 decos is a lot :/
use the earplug charm, it goes up to lv 4. Imo charms are better used for skills that use big slots.
I use earplug charm when in melee range and the razor sharp charm for ranged. Only 2 charms I use.
Earplugs charm and ruin nerg coil
If you look at the build near the end it actually shows how, With the Earplugs charm and a single jewel.
Pride helm and pants with 1 earplug jewel in the pants is a free lvl 5 for temporary plugs
Extra tip for number 6: he always sweeps to the sides at the end of the 3rd attack, just continue running forward instead of the sides and you won't get hit
this helped me, thank you. the wall splashing and mounting worked wonders with this, the "diffuclty" for me usually comes from not having courage. but now that i have slayed him 3 times it really doesn't feel that bad, and i am slaying him non-stop until i get an immortal reactor for a raging sword and shield (my main beloved weapon).
I'm coming back to this video because I wanted to thank you for the tips that you provided. And also a timestamp as to when I finally beat Raging Brach. I was laser focused on attacking the head and forearms that I negated his legs.. I didn't realize how easy it was to trip RB. Had it not been for this video, I'd probably still be stuck on RB. I first fought him 01/2022, put the game down for a year to play Elden Ring, and a whole year later, finally whipped his candy ass. Thanks Gameconomist :)
Haven't even beaten Iceborne yet but Brachydios is my favorite monster, so thank you for the tips and man...
Soloing him is gonna be fun
Hi Gameconomist, just a note that i watched your counter raging brachy vid last night and using your tips i managed to solo both raging brachy and furious rajang this morning. THX VM
I always bring a palico with a sleep weapon. Can usually sleep him at least twice every fight
top 10 most iconic intro's
Number 1: *gotchya* - The Gameconomist
Fireproof mantle also tribializes the final stage's DOTs, you take so little damage from that that almost every weapon that has one single level of Health regen cancels the damage out. Plus it has a nice kinda long timer with a couple of good deco slots. I personally recommend it.
Hey I realize I'm a little late to this party but I just wanted to say that this guide was very helpful for me. I used the GS build you posted at the end, tweaked a little because I didn't have the same decos, and used that for my first solo kill. Thank you!
My friend ran a hh while I was a great sword. We got to the final stage and then my WiFi crapped out. It was so nerve racking to solo that final stage. We both somehow completed our hunts.
This is why I'm mainly solo. My net craps out a lot, so I'm afraid to join or start a public hunt, just to disappear in the middle of it.
I don't even have the raid monster stuff, like Behemoth, KT and Safi. :/
I’m late to Iceborne and these guides have been tremendously helpful for getting through. Since everything’s unlocked now, I’ve kinda been ignoring the guiding lands and just been doing all the quests. This guy’s one of the first monsters that’s given me a real problem. I have to remember to double flinch him (I play IG). Now, if only I could find other people to play with……
What you play on
@@swiftlytunechi I'm on Xbox. Still play from-time-to-time
I love that they finally brought Brachy to the endgame! He is one of my favorite monsters and it’s good to see him in his rightful place!
This one is much easier than the one in MH4U
@@pranav_k__ is this reaally true? Cause yall SWORE Rajang was easy compared to Ultimate yet Im playing it now and hes easy as hell compared to worlds ( Though worlds also has that bs animation lag cancel punch lol)
@@XonixDerps rajang has only one spin jump in world while he does 3 in a row in MH4U, and tempered rajang is nothing compared to Lvl 140 Apex Rajang. I solo'd the world one first time quite easily and took very few hits as I was able to dodge it easily so I found it much easier
@@pranav_k__ Past Rajangs however had a lot of lags in their attacks allowing for a rebuckle compared to IB Rajang whose faster with some kind of iffy attacks, APex I give you but now we aint talkin apex huh? At least I wasnt lol
He’s a piece of shit
Thanks for the tips. Gonna try out some of this. Ive been really struggling with this fight. I thought I'd have a harder time with Furious Rajang but... nope. I killed him first try, haven't been able to kill Raging Brachy yet,
I've done all 9 of my raging brachy hunts solo and am yet to get a reactor. Maybe today is the day lol
truly unlucky. I 've fought him solo maybe 10 or 12 times and got one about every other fight. I was able to build his longsword and also upgrade my Fury and challenger charms. keep plugging away is all I can say. Cons/OA had a method to farm using the Palico plunderblade and while I got some of all the other parts, I never got an immortal reactor in roughly 10 or 12 runs. I hope the RNG gods smile on you soon.
@@pdureska7814 thanks. This is just how it goes sometimes I guess. Only killed furious 4 times and have 3 hearts. I just wish there was a better way than farming the same optional quest. Maybe we'll get an event quest with higher drop rates
Only hunted him twice. Once with a friend using an ice hammer, me a GS and once solo use ice GS and got the Reactor both times.
Good luck
Reactor drops from tail carves can confirm. Cut den tail cut deh tail
As I experienced, in the last stage his SuperNova will be somewhere around 10-20 second after he does the scream that add extra lava pools all over the stage. So if you see this move, then stay away from the puddle and wait for his final blow.
I would just like to say that I'm very happy with myself because I just killed him in 19 minutes without dying, as opposed to my last attempt in which I beat him with 2 minutes left after carting twice. Don't let your dreams be dreams.

Top 10 tips on raging brachydios
Number 10 - bring blast resistance
Number 5 - dodge
Number 2 - don't die
Number 1 - kill the bastard
I think Capcom messed up
When Furious Rajang is on Rampage he does a slime sound
When Raging Brachydios is in his final stage he does a kind of furr-ish sound
F Rajang doesnt have slime
R Brachy doesnt have fur
@DockyFlash No, its kinda like if you rubbed a wig against something (plus i always use blast resist so i dont get blastcourge)
The Dark Is the rajang sound that weird bubbly noise that happens when he’s enraged? Sound super out of place
Yeah I found that weird too. Me and my group were playing and I asked them if they heard Furious Rajang taking a dump and they all said yes lol! Thought we were the only ones
Timothy Moua its either rajang or the flying birds
“Some people call it the wall splat”
Bro it’s the wall bang..
xX HoRiiZoN you just got to walk bang everything. Wall bang Kulve Taroth after softening her chest. Wall bang Shara cause some people are into that. Wall bang Brach daddy. Cause if Rage Gaming has taught me anything, you want to ride Brachy
Naw fam, it's wall splat. I know from fighting games. I have literally never heard wall bang (or wall splat, to be fair) in my 700+ hours on world.
This ain't R6 siege... Fuck outta here.
Wall bang is for shooting games. Wall splat is for games like this. May sound the same but for whatever reason they can mean two different things to a gamer
I just call it a wall bang no hostility from me
Watch where you’re hitting. If the slime on its body turns red, it’ll soon drop a bright red slime pool that will explode, dealing high damage without blast resistance.
The Immunity Mantle can be used to resist Blastscourge and Poison in one of the other areas. The glider mantle has some very good slots for gemming in Blast resist +3 if you have a level 4 Antiblast Jewel as well!
If you’re being focused, use a flash pod to save yourself from being obliterated.
I actually managed to solo him first try with two carts. I have to say seeing his last oraora moment in person and the music change was an amazing experience haha. Been waiting for this moment ever since I learned about raging brachy before getting iceborne
Careful with Tip 6. The third horn attack won't target you. First two will indeed, but the third one will go 90° either left or right of Brachy, aiming for the other hunters
Also when he does his 3-in-a-row slime-ground-attack, the first two attacks extend in a line, but the third and final attack spreads horizontally.
His tail slam is also explosive and has a ridiculous hitbox which is easy to underestimate.
His attacks in the last stage still apply blastscourge. The slime just won't apply it
@Tristen Matkowski using my gunlance set? Eh. He doesn't hit me often enough to warrant blast resist. The few times he does I usually have a mantle on or a health booster down and can completely ignore the blast detonations
@Tristen Matkowski hops are enough to move away from most things. And gunlance's clutch claw attack sends you away from brachy so you can use them to knock his red slime off and not drop into the puddle it leaves. I keep him enraged and most of his attacks will simply explode instead of leaving a puddle to blight you
Boom bug cages knock him down in 1 go in the first area
Anger is what I feels during thjs fight.
my tips: 1) be patient and don't get greedy 2) wear blast protection 3} Use a HBG with sticky ammo 4) have at least one shield on your HBG and 3 levels of guard 5} make sure your temporal and fire mantles are available for the the last area. 6) have fortify in your build 7) I like having my cat use the Stooge to distract Brachydios. that's it.
sometimes in the last stage, I found a little tendency for raging brach to use his nova moments after he does the normal (non-stunning) roar that pops up more slime puddles. The moment raging brach roars to summon up more slime puddles, that's usually your cue to start avoiding the slime puddles. before his normal roar (and after his nova), it's relatively safe to take the risk in the puddles to dish out damage, especially if you have health regen augment and fireproof mantle
Good tips. I will have to try the traps, the wall splatting, and I roll Earplugs 5 as a standard base skill.
Thanks for the tips!
I’m pretty late to this , but his slime being washed off makes his attacks easier before the last stage. He won’t drop explosive pools. Also, his third explosive line is off center so you can just run backwards from it 😉
I never thought about using earplugs I didn't know the actual roar triggered the explosion I'm going to go try that
His nova's pretty weak compared to others though. As long as your armor is properly upgraded or if you have high elemental resistance I wouldn't bother with earplugs for a move he may use only once or twice. Waste of space in my opinion and I hunt solo dual blades.
@@RPGeenius yeah specing for earplugs is pretty difficult
Just beat him with the longsword solo. That was pretty damn difficult. I farted twice and ran fortify so by the end of it I had 1070 defense and I was still getting two shot and nearly dying. Got down to 1hp a few times and nearly failed the quest but didn’t thank god. The explosions are so hard to deal with. I took your advice and attacked the legs so I got several trips which was nice. The thing that I didn’t know is when you attack his claws and head while he’s down then the slime falls off and explodes on the ground which ruined my damage window a couple times until I started foresight slashing them. Not an easy battle
Lol farted
"Wallsplat", Wallbang"...
I just say "Bonk".
Just managed to get him after 5 hours of trying with my friend, came to see this video after I won to see what I missed. Somehow on our last try we got to the final phase without fainting once. (We lost twice in final phase before). Extra tip: using bomb pods or piercing pods dropped from him on his red slime can remove them (if you cant hit to exploit higher damage) it kept us alive.
Tip 1 - Get Furious Rajang HBG
Tip 2 - Show this boy what real explosions looks like
Then I need tips to hunt F Rajang.
17:21 laughs in Tigrex armor and wide range level 5
Oh man, I have been having some trouble with this special assignment.
Friendly reminder that water moss washes the slime off his parts, makes the fight incredibly easy. Dont need to wash the tail tbh, just the front. Oh, and there a bit of a cheese with the fight. Once he progresses to the volcanic region, for some reason, he stands on top of the eruption trap and just eats it for 450-600 damage. Easy part damage and redirecting him with sling shots helps. Just keep in mind as long as hes not aggro’d on you, he’ll stand on it every time
You recommend Raging Brachy and Golden Rathian pieces, which are both very hard to get when you're fighting him first time.
Maybe give us some ~entry level~ gear as well?
Theres a tip here you missed I think in that he'll roar once before he does the roar to trigger the nova in the final stage so theres an extra warning to not stand on the pools especially cos he triggers them very quickly.
last tip:
also remember every hit on rocksteady wears it off, so even if it exists to make you rock steady to hits, see it as an earplugs/tremor mantle and dont stop dodging whenever possible.
The handler actually tells you during the special assignment that ice slows the build up IF you bring an ice weapon the first time and can proc it enough to keep the fists cool
Yeah I was like... dude you heard it when she said it. Handler gets no respect🤣.
On Tip #6: The 3rd horn charge has the slime chase 2 people. It'll curve and follow for, I think, up to 6 or 7 puddles. Superman diving helps here.
I'm loving all this content you're putting out. Makes the quarantine easier!
considering red slime seems to come about when he is enraged it is actually better to run water given that in icebourne you can pretty much permanently keep something enraged
Grand Phantasma That’s a good idea. I added in some agitator as well.
16:28 classic LS player
Gotta bring Flinch Free 1 mate. My LS awaits the unprepared. :)
Whenever I hunt, I play with my cousin. We're fairly okay at the game and Its the first game we played in the MH series. We can massacre most monsters with ease. However, it takes us about 20 to 25 for a rajang fight (that's cause we're super cautious with him). We always struggle with him. But when the two new monsters dropped, its like our struggles have flipped. We beat the shit out of furious rajang plenty of times but my god, we cannot get past brachy. We've tried like 12 times. But this video helps a lot. We'll surely beat him next time.
As he zones into the lat phase, you can try following him closely into the last room and flash pod him before he goes berserk (the Wreck It Ralph move), then you can also set a pitfall then a shock trap on him before he goes crazy. The best series of event that's happened for me before he turns berserk goes:
1) flash pod
2) shock trap
3) pitfall
4) mount
5) wall smash
6) sleep
would have been perfect if he gets wall smashed again with an added paralyze after though :P
Nice I will definitely try this👍
Fireproof mantle is nice for the ground damage in the last area.
this video was amazig, I just unlocked the raging brachydios, and honestly I was realy scared of him. I haven't killed him yet, but I know that this is gonna help. thanks a lot bro
Doctor: What scares you?
Me: Nothing.
Doctor: *shows glowing ground*
Me: *terrified screeches*
Bro thanks. I needed a tutorial for this one he hard ive struggled with him . so seriously thank you
with my friends, it took us 16 hours
I’m building a charge blade build and I need 4 peace’s of R Brachy and the charge blade and this helped a lot!
I killed Behemoth years ago.
I’m here looking for help, because I main LS, this fights a nightmare.
I find the frostfang hammer or GS to do very good. Frostfang barioth in the event quest "the last white knight" found on the last page of event quests. Get 3 tickets for a frostfang weapon. The hammer had 600 ice and good raw, it's also amazing for alat
I prioritize the groin... fairly safe area, chance to hit legs and cause trips. Damage there is abysmal but as long as you dont cart :D
The resuscitate skill is very very useful and easy to include. Try it out
The red slime hitzones are for the final stage, not when the slime is active.
15th tips.. you can flashpod him in the last stage before it punch the ground to delay it opening move ( slaming the ground ) and put traps..
My biggest issue in MH is people who take resistances for granted. I traded max ATK boost for DEF and holy shit its nice to not feel as squishy. Anti blast and fire resist are your friend
How do you trip him? I mean besides hitting it. I always hit the legs and never made him trip. I also main Charge Blade. Is there any skills to add to help trip or is it just certian weapons
Could you do a build with max might secret, heroics secret, weakness exploit, crit boost and adept stormslinger with 1 affinity augment for 100% affinity and stuff? I feel like it has potential.
thank you for the build tips at the end
If you can’t heal and your stuck in a corner use a far caster to not get carted
Bruh, I always run a fortify deco on my Rocksteady. That way when I cart, I at least get a prize...
Kenneth Moore moron when the mantle breaks fortify goes away 💩
Who carts now a days.
@@FIinchfree Geez, you guys are the toxicity of the community i see. How about instead of insulting the guy, help him.
Jeremy Booth facts
Yes, I know the fortify will go away when the mantle is off. I more or less was referring to the message that will popup after I cart with Rocksteady on. It's a visual reminder that I did a stupid... I was not intending on stating that this works.
What's the deal with this monster? It can't be captured, but it's not an elder? What is his classification? Also it is harder than most elders, how come? I'm a bit confused.
I had no idea his slime hurt him, for good damage nonetheless! You get like 10% oh his total health down in that final stage just from him blowing himself up. The final room looms menacing, but can be easy if you know what your doing.
u can actually flash him before he close the arena, and the proceed with flinch shot him to the wall, and as usual, u can do it twice before its enrage
I soloed him with my scared build. Sns with earplugs 5, health boost 3, speed eating 3 and divine blessing 3
How the fuck did you sólo him with sns i can't even hit that bitch other than his legs and i do barely any damage. I go for the head, arms or tail and he bitch slaps me
@@guii5041 I just played like a coward poking him after every attack, and If I got hit I healed very easily because of speed eating. I died 2 times and it took like 35 minutes. it was NOT and enjoyable hunt, but every time I tried doing it with an sos team they would all die.
PS I've only hunted him 2 times and I already have 4 pieces of his armour and his chargeblade because lol plunderblade
was this a compilation of whiffed TCS's? :(
Pro tip:
Hit the monster until it dies
Tried this method for the first time today after many failed frustrating attempts on other days and it was a success. Thank you so much. :D
Happy birthday dude

Excellent video!
I came here to thank you. Haven't had my ass handed to me like this one did not even Barrioth . I'm not a huge fan of this fight but I am a huge fan of this game! I've mastered dual blades n i got them like tuned up the most . After I died so quick I Was little depressed like is this it is this my wall, something's off I'm not doing something right. So i went for a walk n decided to search RUclips for help ( first time honestly because everything else is obvious to me, but how do I fix blasting goo🤷♂️) . Saw your video, finally got some use for Ogre's jaw , stacked up in health n bought my palico a 😴 weapon. I made a pedant +2 blast n Crafted armor piece with+1 more just like u Said! Everything else pretty much the same swapped 2 decorations to save my ass from flames n boost my ice DMG. Slow ass fight but I've learned with these crazy monsters u just have to play it safe n that's what I love about this game. IMO u need to be good at few weapons at least. It was about surviving it wasn't Mayhem like I do with DB. All the huge monsters I need insect glaive because Huge hit box I can stay in air there's nothing they can do. That new Rathian did half of my job lol but everything went exactly it supposed to go. I'm no GS master But I Was getting those big hits in. G mantle made sure they wouldn't see me when the monsters went at it , it was beautiful. I Was worried about the pace I'm i running out of Time it felt I'm not doing enough DMG. I wall splatted him 3x n palico but him to sleep twice. Second time I put 2 bomb's n launched shit at him boom 💥😂😂 Then I saw it, mofo is limping this is ky moment. I couldn't believe it. It was a bitch bc he didn't go tk sleep so getting him into trap was a risk but I got it n good night in 30min n some change. Wasn't even a long fight it just felt like that . DB fuks Up your game Lil bit bc u think I have to Hit then million times a minute from every angle. But everything.*3 has been like Chess, Patience. Probably Used dozen of Mega potions but omg I'm hyped. I might have to upgrade some other weapons I was naive n thought poison DB and Dragon Glaive will take me to The end. I can't say If it's my favorite game of all time but it's so beautiful when the puzzle pieces hit, u get the flow n stay brave n confident n just beat their ass. Capcom really knocked it out the park with this one. Thank you again I was horrified if I get tired of trying n loose all my shit n have to grind again. Second try, didn't faint Once not even close TBH. ❤️🫡
I want to solo this bastard but he’s kicking my ass thanks for the tips!
Doesn't he hit like a truck? My armour is fully upgraded with 20 fire resist and he can kill me in two hits. Nova at the end dealt more than 100 damage.
Only way to get more armour is by augmenting but I don't have the items yet.
Ok the tail tip with red slime is bad, but without the red slime is also bad? Or is that an error? Usually the tip of the tail is where you deal extra damage on monsters?
i like how you put top 10 just so that people will click on your video more. was gonna watch either way tho
