The Congalala, a large fanged beast with pink fur and a distinctive crest, is a common sight in temperate forests. Its voracious appetite for mushrooms allows it to unleash a variety of breath attacks inflicting poison, blast, paralysis, and other debilitating effects.
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 breath attacks. It utilizes powerful hand slams, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks. Focus your attacks on the forelegs for easier openings. After consuming a mushroom, it’s vulnerable during its breath attack animations. Use this window to attack its head, tail, or rear. If afflicted by its fumes, use deodorant or roll in water to cleanse yourself. Leverage Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to maximize damage during these openings.
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. Set up a Shock Trap or Pitfall Trap near its resting spot. Use Tranq Bombs once trapped to secure the capture.
