A Gluttonous Fanged Beast

The Congalala is a Fanged Beast best known for its huge appetite, as well as the farts and burps that come with it. Although the Congalala looks like a cute gorilla, its attacks make it one of the harder fights in the early game.

Its Attacks Change Based on What it Eats

You will almost always see the Congalala with food, held by its curled up tail. During a Congalala hunt, they will usually eat whatever food they have, which will then change the effects of certain attacks.

If it eats a Parashroom, for example, its Breath attack and Fart can paralyze you.

Usually Found in Groups

Congalala Group

You will likely find Congalalas surrounded by Congas, smaller versions of the Congalala. These can and must be killed first, as they can affect your fight with the Congalala if left alone.

Additionally, the Congalala is likely going to be found in Monster Herds, with an Alpha Congalala leading the group.

How to Beat Congalala

Congalala Monster Fight Tips




Bring Deodorant to Remove Stench

As the Congalala's Stench prevents the usage of consumable items, it is important to carry around Deodorants to quickly remove the debuff. Should Deodorants not be available in Monster Hunter Wilds, bring whatever item can clear debuffs (like the Nulberry).

Kill the Congas First

The Congas that accompany the Congalala may not deal much damage, but they can interrupt your attack combos and leave you vulnerable to attacks. As such, it is important to take them down first before fighting the Congalala.

Take Note of What the Congalala's Tail is Holding

The properties of Congalala's Fart and Breath will change depending on what food they eat. Keeping track of what food the Congalala is holding in its tail will give you an idea of what to expect once the Congalala performs its Fart and Breath attacks.

Go for the Congallala's Head

The Congalala's head is its weakest point, so focus all of your attacks on it. Additionally, breaking the "horn" on its head will yield more rewards.

Do Not Attack Its Belly

The Congalala's Belly is perhaps its toughest body part. Melee attacks on the belly can bounce off, especially if the Congalala inflates it. Avoid attacking the belly so that your attack combos will remain uninterrupted.

Possible Congalala Moves

Congalala Attack Pattern on Previous Games

Although the Congalala was not present in the previous Open Beta, it is possible to guess what its possible moves are based on previous games.

Move Explanation
Claw Swipe A basic attack where the Congalala swipes with its claws. It can do this with one or both claws. Dodge or block this attack.
Body Check The Congalala will use its body to hit anything immediately to its left or right. Avoid this by dodging away, or by blocking.
Enlarge Belly The Congalala will inflate its belly and point it towards you. Any melee attack on the inflated belly will bounce off, so attack the Congalala from behind.
Fart The Congalala will fart, applying Stench on any hunter near enough to be hit by the fart cloud. Use a Deodorant to clear Stench, as it will prevent you from using your healing items. If the Congalala has eaten anything recently, that food will change the effects of Fart.
Breath Attack
Only performed after eating, the Congalala will unleash a breath attack in a line in front of it. The effects of the breath attack will changed based on what the Congalala has eaten.
Jump and Slam The Congalala will jump into the air before slamming down on the ground. Dodge this by blocking or by running away from it.
