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 launch breath attacks at a distance.
Focus your attacks on its breakable parts for maximum damage. Targeting the forelegs is advisable 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 visibly clear, and then strike when it expels gas from its front or rear. If you avoid the gas, you can attack these sensitive 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 create by using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver heavy damage, effectively countering breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala follows a similar process to other monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Monitor the beast's health until the skull icon appears on the minimap, signaling it's nearing defeat. Follow the Congalala to its resting spot where it attempts to recover. Set up either a Shock or Pitfall Trap near the sleeping beast, then switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the monster, lure it into the trap, and throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
