How to Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Facing off against the Congalala requires constant movement due to its large size and agile nature. Avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast, as these are the prime spots for its potent breath attacks. Be wary of its powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks. To maximize damage, focus on its breakable parts, particularly the forelegs, as attacking these often leaves the Congalala vulnerable for a few seconds.
For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the Congalala to consume a mushroom, which is visibly evident. After it eats, it will either spew gas from its front or rear. If you manage to avoid this attack, you can strike these parts without fear of immediate retaliation. If you get hit by the fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to neutralize the effects. Take advantage of any wounds you cause by using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal significant damage and potentially interrupt its attacks, such as breath attacks or ground smashes.
How to Capture Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing the Congalala follows the same general principles as capturing other monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Look for the skull icon on the minimap, signaling that the beast is near defeat, and listen for cues from your character or other hunters that it's on its last legs. Follow the Congalala to where it attempts to rest and recover. At this point, set up either a Shock or Pitfall Trap near the sleeping beast, switch to Tranq Bombs, and wake it. Lure it into the trap, and once it's caught, throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture the Congalala.
