How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. Avoid positioning directly in front or behind the beast to minimize exposure to its potent breath attacks. The Congalala employs powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks, making it essential to stay mobile and vigilant.

Focus your attacks on the breakable parts for maximum damage. The forelegs are an ideal target, as they leave the Congalala vulnerable for brief periods after attacking. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the monster to consume a mushroom, which is visibly clear. When it expels gas, take the opportunity to strike these vulnerable areas if you're not caught in the attack.

If you find yourself affected by its fumes, utilize deodorant or roll through water to negate the effects. Exploit the wounds you inflict by using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver substantial damage, effectively countering its breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala in *Monster Hunter Wilds* requires strategic preparation. Monitor the monster's health until you see the skull icon on the minimap, indicating it's nearing its end. Follow it to its resting spot, where it attempts to recover. Here, set up either a Shock or Pitfall Trap near its resting place, then switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the beast and lure it into the trap. Once it's ensnared, deploy 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture the Congalala.
