How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. To minimize the impact of its potent breath attacks, avoid positioning yourself directly in front of or behind the beast. Be wary of its powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks.

Focus your attacks on its breakable parts for maximum damage. The forelegs are the easiest targets, as the Congalala often leaves them vulnerable after certain attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the beast to consume a mushroom, which is a clear signal. After it exhales gas from either end, you can safely strike these parts without immediate retaliation.

If you get hit by its breath, use deodorant or roll through water to negate the effects. Utilize the wounds you cause to your advantage by employing Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal significant damage, effectively countering its breath attacks or ground smashes.
