How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Facing the Congalala requires constant movement to evade its potent breath attacks, which are most dangerous when you're directly in front or behind it. Its arsenal includes powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and long-range breath attacks. To maximize damage, target its breakable parts, starting with the forelegs, which often leave the beast vulnerable for a few seconds after an attack.
For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the Congalala to consume a mushroom, a clear sign before it unleashes its gas attack from either end. If you dodge this attack, you can safely strike these vulnerable spots. If you get hit by its fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to negate the effects. Exploit any wounds using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal significant damage and interrupt its attacks.
How To Capture Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing the Congalala is a strategic challenge, requiring you to first weaken it until a skull icon appears on the minimap, signaling its near defeat. Follow the beast to its resting spot, where it attempts to recover. Here, set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap near it, switch to Tranq Bombs, wake the monster, and lure it into the trap. Once trapped, throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture the Congalala.
