Ready to conquer the Chatacabra, that long-tongued menace in Monster Hunter Wilds? This early-game foe is a great practice target, so let's master the art of the hunt!
How to Defeat the Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds
Weaknesses: Ice, Thunder
Resistances: None
Immunities: Sonic Bomb
The Chatacabra, a large frog-like monster, primarily uses close-range tongue attacks. However, it can also charge if you're too far away. While any weapon works, its smaller size makes weapons like the Bow and Charge Blade slightly less effective due to their multi-hit attacks being more efficient against larger targets.
Most attacks involve its tongue, making the front a dangerous area. Besides its licking attack, it slams its front limbs into the ground after a noticeable rear-up. The only significant attack from a distance is a head-raised sweep with its tongue.
The optimal strategy is to stay to its sides, dodging or blocking its slam attack. Exploiting its elemental weaknesses with Ice or Thunder weapons will significantly speed up the fight.
How to Capture the Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds
Monster capturing in Monster Hunter Wilds is consistent, and the Chatacabra's inability to fly simplifies things. You'll need a Shock Trap or Pitfall Trap, and two Tranquilizer Bombs. However, bringing both trap types and eight Tranq Bombs is recommended for a smoother capture.
Battle the Chatacabra until its mini-map icon displays a skull, indicating its final retreat. Follow it, set your trap, and lure it inside. Once trapped, use two Tranq Bombs to put it to sleep, completing the capture.
