Congalalas are large, pink fanged beasts with a distinctive crest. Common in temperate forests, these voracious eaters utilize consumed mushrooms to unleash a variety of breath attacks inflicting poison, blast, paralysis, and other debilitating statuses.
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 powerful breath attacks. It also employs devastating hand slams, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks. Prioritize targeting its forelegs for easier break opportunities, capitalizing on attack openings. After it consumes a mushroom, wait for the breath attack, then strike its head, tail, or rear. Use Deodorant or water to cleanse yourself of its fumes. Utilize Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to maximize damage, especially during openings created by its breath attacks or ground slams.
How to Capture Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Weaken Congalala significantly before attempting capture. The skull icon on the minimap and hunter dialogue indicate its weakened state. Prepare a Shock Trap or Pitfall Trap, place it near its sleeping location, and switch to Tranq Bombs. Lure it into the trap and use 2-3 Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
