How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. Avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind it, as these are prime spots for its potent breath attacks. Be wary of its powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks.
Focus your attacks on the breakable parts for maximum damage. The forelegs are the easiest target, as the Congalala often leaves itself open after certain attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for it to consume a mushroom and then attack when it's vulnerable after spewing gas. If you're hit by 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 deliver heavy damage and interrupt its attacks, particularly during breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala is similar to other monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Wait for the skull icon to appear on the minimap next to the monster, indicating it's on its last legs. Follow it to its resting spot, set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap nearby, and then use Tranq Bombs to subdue it once trapped.
