How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its large size and agility. To minimize damage, avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast, where its potent breath attacks are most effective. The Congalala uses powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks, making it a challenging opponent.
Focus your attacks on the breakable parts for increased damage. Targeting the forelegs is advisable as they are often exposed after certain attacks, leaving the Congalala vulnerable for a few seconds. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the beast to consume a mushroom, which is easily noticeable. After it spews gas from its front or rear, you can safely attack these parts without immediate retaliation.
If you're caught in the gas, use deodorant or roll through water to neutralize the effects. Exploit the wounds you create by using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal heavy damage, effectively countering breath attacks or ground smashes.
How To Capture Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing the Congalala requires patience and timing. When the beast's health is sufficiently reduced, a skull icon will appear on the minimap, signaling that it's nearing its end. Your character or other hunters may comment on its weakened state.
Follow the Congalala to its resting spot where it attempts to recover. Set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap near the sleeping monster. Once it's in the trap, use 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture the Congalala.
