How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
With its huge size and agile movements, it is quite important to always be on the move when facing the Congalala. The key is to avoid being directly in front or behind the beast, as that will be the main areas in which its potent breath attacks will affect players the most. The beast is capable of powerful smashes with its hands, using its tail to whip around the area, and even use its breath attacks at range.
As with most monsters, you would want to concentrate on one of its breakable parts for increased damage. Direct your attacks towards the forelegs for the easiest time, as there will be attacks that leave the Congalala open for a few seconds.
As for the head, tail, and rear, the best way to attack these parts is to wait for the beast to consume a mushroom, which can be seen clearly, and then wait for it to either spew gas from its front or rear. If you are not caught in the attack, you are free to hit the enemy where it hurts without any fear of reprisal.
However, should you unfortunately get doused in such fumes, using either a deodorant or rolling through water will remove its effects. During the process, be sure to take advantage of the wounds you will inevitably cause, and use Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal heavy damage to the Congalala and stop it in its tracks. This can be a great way to counter a breath attack or when it starts smashing the ground.
How To Capture Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds
Similar to the other monsters found in Monster Hunter Wilds, the Congalala can be difficult to capture if you have not whittled down its health. The cue to prepare for capture is the appearance of the skull icon on the minimap next to the monster, and you will hear your character or other hunters remark that it is on its last legs.
Follow the monster to where it will eventually sleep to try to recover. At this juncture, prepare either your Shock or Pitfall Trap, place it near the monster, and then switch over to Tranq Bombs. Wake the monster and lure it to the trap, and once it is caught, throw down 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs, and you will be able to capture the Congalala.
