How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. Avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast to minimize the impact of its potent breath attacks. The Congalala can perform powerful smashes with its hands, whip its tail, and use breath attacks at range.
Focus your attacks on its breakable parts for increased damage. The forelegs are the easiest target, as the Congalala often leaves them open after certain attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the beast to consume a mushroom, which is clearly visible, and then strike when it spews gas from its front or rear. If you avoid the gas, you can attack these vulnerable areas without fear of immediate retaliation.
If you get hit by the fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to remove the effects. Exploit the wounds you cause by using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal significant damage, effectively countering breath attacks or ground smashes.
How To Capture Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing the Congalala requires reducing its health until a skull icon appears on the minimap, signaling it's near death. Follow the beast to its resting spot, where it attempts to recover. Set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap near the sleeping monster, then switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the Congalala and lure it into the trap, then throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
