How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Facing the Congalala requires agility and strategic positioning. The beast's potent breath attacks are most dangerous when you're directly in front or behind it, so stay on the move and aim to attack from the sides. The Congalala uses its hands for powerful smashes, its tail for sweeping attacks, and its breath at range, so timing is crucial.
Focus your attacks on its breakable parts for maximum damage. The forelegs are the easiest to target, as the Congalala's attacks often leave it vulnerable for brief moments. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for it to consume a mushroom, which it does visibly, and then attack when it spews gas from its front or rear. If you avoid the gas, you can strike these vulnerable spots safely.
If you're caught in the gas, use deodorant or roll through water to neutralize the effects. Take advantage of the wounds you create by employing Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal significant damage and halt the Congalala's attacks.
How To Capture Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing the Congalala requires patience and preparation. When the beast's health is low, indicated by a skull icon on the minimap and comments from your character or other hunters, follow it until it attempts to sleep and recover. Set up either a Shock or Pitfall Trap near where it rests, then switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the Congalala and lure it into the trap, then use 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
