Monster Hunter Rise has dozens of monsters for players to fight throughout their journey. Each of the game's monsters has characteristics that set it apart from the other predators in the ecosystem, and few monsters are as unique in appearance as the Rakna-Kadaki. This gargantuan arachnid guards its body with adhesive webbing that houses its offspring and shoots fire at all who get too close. It's a monster that can make quick work of any inexperienced or unprepared hunter, so make sure you don't end up on the dinner menu by learning its weaknesses, resistances, and drop rates.
All Rakna-Kadaki Weaknesses
Rakna-Kadaki Elemental Weakness
The Rakna-Kadaki's main weakness is ice, so if you have a weapon with this element, be sure to bring it along for your battle with the giant spider. If you lack an ice-imbued weapon, take a water one instead, as this is a viable second option. Avoid using fire, thunder, and dragon weapons on the Rakna-Kadaki. Its immunities make these weapons ineffective.
If you've brought your ice or water weapons, focus your attacks on the Rakna-Kadai's Head and Claws to deal the most damage.
| Location Damage | Fire | Water | Thunder | Ice | Dragon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head | 0 | 10 | 0 | 20 | 0 |
| Chest | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0 |
