How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its immense size and agility. It’s crucial to avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast, as these areas are most vulnerable to its potent breath attacks. The Congalala can execute powerful hand smashes, whip its tail, and launch breath attacks at a distance.
To maximize damage, focus on its breakable parts. Target the forelegs for an easier approach, as they often leave the Congalala 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 either its front or rear. If you avoid the gas attack, you can safely attack these vulnerable areas.
If you find yourself affected by the fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to neutralize the effects. Utilize the wounds you inflict by employing Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver significant damage and halt the Congalala's movements, effectively countering its breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala follows the same principles as other monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You must first weaken the beast until a skull icon appears on the minimap, signaling it's nearing its end. At this point, follow the Congalala to where it attempts to rest and recover.
Prepare either a Shock or Pitfall Trap and place it near the resting monster. Wake it and lure it into the trap, then quickly deploy 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to secure the capture.
