How To Beat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. Avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast to minimize the impact of its breath attacks. Be wary of its powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks.
Target the forelegs for the easiest attacks, as the Congalala will occasionally leave itself vulnerable. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the beast to consume a mushroom and then attack when it expels gas from its front or rear. If caught in the fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to cleanse the effect.
Exploit any wounds with Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver substantial damage and halt the Congalala's attacks, especially effective during breath attacks or ground smashes.
