How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its large 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 execute powerful smashes with its hands, whip its tail, and use breath attacks at range.

Focus your attacks on its breakable parts for maximum damage. The forelegs are the easiest target, as the Congalala's attacks often leave it vulnerable for a few seconds. 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're 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 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 either a Shock or Pitfall Trap near the sleeping monster, then switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the Congalala and lure it into the trap. Once trapped, throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
