How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Given its massive size and agile movements, staying mobile is essential when facing the Congalala. Avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast, as these are the primary zones for its potent breath attacks. The Congalala can execute powerful smashes with its hands, whip its tail around, and launch breath attacks at a distance.

Focus your attacks on one of its breakable parts for maximum damage. Targeting the forelegs is advisable, as the Congalala often leaves itself vulnerable 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 expels 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 neutralize the effects. Exploit the wounds you cause by using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver heavy damage, effectively countering breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala follows a similar process to other monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. You'll need to reduce its health significantly until a skull icon appears on the minimap next to the monster, accompanied by comments from your character or other hunters indicating it's nearly defeated.

Track the Congalala to its resting spot where it attempts to recover. Prepare either a Shock or Pitfall Trap and place it near the sleeping beast. Wake it and lure it into the trap. Once trapped, throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture the Congalala.
