Congalala is the second Large Monster you encounter while progressing through the Scarlet Forest area of Monster Hunter Wilds, and it’s one you can hunt again after initially defeating it.

This creature is among the more... aromatic foes in Monster Hunter Wilds, thanks to its gassy breath and rear attacks. Yes, the Congalala’s most perilous attack stems from its rear, so remember to carry Deodorant items to prevent the Stench status effect, which restricts your ability to use certain items.

Our Monster Hunter Wilds Congalala guide below offers advice on defeating Congalala, including tips, weak points, and attack details. We’ve also outlined Congalala locations, and listed the materials and items you can harvest to fully prepare for your hunt.

Tips for defeating Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds

Here are practical tips for defeating Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds:

• Congalala are susceptible to Fire and Ice elemental attacks (Fire being slightly more effective), and striking its weak points (Rear, Tail, Head, and Foreleg) will yield the greatest damage.
• Although Congalala isn’t significantly impacted by status effects, you can still apply Poison, Sleep, Paralysis, Blastlight, Stun, and Exhaust to it using items or environmental tools.
• Pitfall Traps, Shock Traps, and Flash Pods work well against Congalala.
• Steer clear of Congalala’s rear—its rear gas attacks apply the Stench status effect if they hit, limiting your access to certain items like Potions.
• Carry Deodorant—this item instantly removes the Stench status effect.
• Rolling through water or walking under a waterfall also clears the Stench status effect.
• Avoid Congalala’s breath attack, which can cause Poison, Blast, and Paralysis.
• If you successfully dodge Congalala’s lunges, it often topples over, providing an excellent opportunity to unleash powerful attacks on its weak points (Rear, Tail, Head, and Foreleg).

Monster Hunter Wilds Congalala weak points

To effectively defeat Congalala in Monster Hunter Wilds, focus on its four weakest points and utilize Fire or Ice elemental attacks when possible. Fire has a slight edge over Ice.

The Congalala’s four weak spots are: Rear, Tail, Head, and Foreleg. Its Rear is a general weak point, its Tail and Head are breakable, and each Foreleg is breakable (allowing you to break one but not both). Attacking these spots with Fire or Ice elements is the optimal strategy.

While its Rear is a weak point, it’s risky to attack from behind due to its rear gas attack, which triggers the Stench status effect upon contact. Fortunately, Congalala is somewhat clumsy and frequently falls over, allowing you to strike its Rear (and other breakable spots) with strong attacks when it stumbles.

Monster Hunter Wilds Congalala attacks

The primary Congalala attacks to avoid are its breath and rear gas moves.

Being hit by Congalala’s breath can result in Poison, Blast, and Paralysis, but its rear gas attack is even more troublesome, as it applies the Stench status effect if it hits you, restricting your use of certain items such as Potions.

The Stench status effect can be dispelled by rolling in water, walking under waterfalls, or using the Deodorant item. It’s best to avoid these moves entirely, as Congalala becomes vulnerable to attacks from the sides while executing them.

Image credit: Eurogamer/CapcomOther Congalala attacks include: a claw lunge, claw pound, and repeated claw swipes. All of these can knock you down, so be cautious when Congalala raises its claws. However, note that Congalala often topples over after its repeated claw swipes, presenting a perfect moment to use your strongest attacks on its weak and breakable points (Rear, Tail, Head, and Foreleg).

Congalala also takes some time to recover after using its claw lunge and claw pound moves, though not as long as after its repeated claw swipes attack.
