The Congalala, a large fanged beast with pink fur and a distinctive crest, is a common sight in temperate forests. Its voracious appetite for mushrooms fuels its unique breath attacks, capable of inflicting poison, blastblight, paralysis, and other debilitating status effects.

How to Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Congalala's size and agility demand constant movement. Avoid its front and rear to minimize exposure to its breath attacks. It employs powerful hand slams, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks. Prioritize targeting its forelegs for easier damage opportunities, as attacks will leave it briefly vulnerable.

For the head, tail, and rear, exploit its mushroom-eating habit. After consuming a mushroom, wait for it to unleash a breath attack. If you evade the attack, you can safely deal significant damage. If hit, use deodorant or roll in water to cleanse status effects. Use Focus Mode and Focus Strikes during openings to maximize damage output, especially after breath attacks or ground slams.

How to Capture Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Weaken the Congalala significantly before attempting capture. A skull icon on the minimap and hunter dialogue indicate its weakened state. It will seek rest; use this opportunity to set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap. Lure it into the trap and use 2-3 Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
