How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Facing the Congalala requires agility and strategic movement. Its size and agility mean you should constantly be on the move, avoiding its front and rear where its potent breath attacks are most effective. The beast uses its hands for powerful smashes, its tail for sweeping attacks, and its breath for ranged assaults.
Focus your attacks on the breakable parts to maximize damage. The forelegs are the easiest targets, offering brief windows of vulnerability after certain attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the Congalala to consume a mushroom, clearly visible in its behavior. Following its consumption, it will either spew gas from its front or rear, giving you an opportunity to strike without immediate retaliation.
If you find yourself affected by its fumes, quickly use deodorant or roll through water to cleanse the effects. Utilize the wounds you inflict to your advantage, employing Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver significant damage, effectively halting the Congalala's advances and countering its breath or ground-smashing attacks.
How To Capture Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing the Congalala follows similar principles to other monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You'll know it's time to capture when a skull icon appears next to the monster on your minimap, and your character or fellow hunters will comment on its weakened state.
Track the beast to its resting spot where it attempts to recover. Prepare your Shock or Pitfall Trap and set it near the sleeping monster. Wake it and lure it into the trap. Once it's ensnared, throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture the Congalala.
