Monster Hunter Outlanders Radiant Monsters

What are Radiant monsters in Monster Hunter Outlanders?

Radiant monsters are versions of familiar monsters changed by Radiantite, the glowing mineral of Aesoland. They are stronger and more aggressive than the base form and add new attacks: Radiant Kulu-Ya-Ku digs up Radiantite to use as a weapon, Radiant Anjanath rips it from the ground and throws it, and Radiant Rathalos breathes near-molten flames. Their materials make Radiant weapons and armor, whose set bonuses differ from the base sets.

Do Radiant monsters have different weaknesses?

Some do. Radiant Pukei-Pukei and Radiant Rathian swap to a thunder weakness, and Radiant Anjanath stays weak to water. Radiant Diablos has no element above one diamond, so bring raw damage and paralysis instead. Compare every base form on the Monster Hunter Outlanders weakness chart, then use this page for the Radiant form.

Why some Radiant weaknesses say “awaiting live data”

Several sites fill Radiant weaknesses from older Monster Hunter games or the closed beta and label them “untested”. We only show a rating after a guide has read it from the live Hunter's Notes, and we call it confirmed when two independent guides give the same grid. If the guides disagree, as they do on Radiant Jyuratodus, we show the disagreement rather than guess.

Where to find Radiant monsters

Radiant forms roam the Giant Tree and Scorching Sands regions as the story opens them up, and several appear only in den hunts. Habitats on each card come from the in-game notes; the full map is on the Monster Hunter Outlanders materials map. Element picks for each fight are on every monster page, and the Adventurers who deal each element are on the tier list.
