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 or behind the beast. Be wary of its powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks.
Focus your attacks on the Congalala's breakable parts for increased damage. Targeting the forelegs is advisable, as these attacks often leave the beast momentarily vulnerable. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the Congalala to consume a mushroom, which is clearly visible, and then strike when it expels gas from either end. If you avoid the gas, you can safely attack these vulnerable spots.
If you find yourself affected by the Congalala's fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to neutralize the effects. Utilize the wounds you inflict by employing Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver significant damage, effectively countering its breath attacks or ground smashes.

Monitor the beast's health until the skull icon appears on the minimap, signaling that it's nearing defeat. Listen for cues from your character or fellow hunters that the Congalala is on its last legs.
Track the Congalala to its resting spot where it attempts to recover. Set up either a Shock or Pitfall Trap nearby, then switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the beast and lure it into the trap. Once it's ensnared, throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture the Congalala.
