Accompanying the Like A Fire Hidden By Sand Event Quest that was introduced last week in Monster Hunter Wilds is the new Congalala Cravings quest. This HR 9 minimum requirement quest has players hunting a full-furred Congalala in the Scarlet Forest for Droolshrooms – an ingredient used in creating meals.
While the Congalala doesn’t pose much of a threat, you should be wary of the status ailments it can inflict. The Congalala’s infamous farts inflict Stench by default (which prevents the use of healing items) but the effects will change depending on what type of mushroom it ate last (if any). Speaking of mushrooms, the monster occasionally eats the local mushrooms to inflict different ailments with its breath attack. A Parashroom will cause its breath to inflict Paralysis. A Toadstool will give it Poison breath. Lastly, eating a Nitroshroom will cause a Congalala’s breath to inflict Blastblight.
Make sure to bring the appropriate healing items before fighting a Congalala. Deodorants counteract Stench. Antidotes, Herbal Medicines, and Herbal Powders cure Poison. Rolling around rapidly removes the Blastblight effect (provided you haven’t exploded yet). If you’re having trouble keeping track of all the counteragents, consider bringing a few Nulberries as they are a good catch-all cure. There is no other way to remove the Paralysis status ailment aside from getting hit, so be careful when a Congalala ingests a Parashroom. Alternatively, you can prevent a Congalala from eating a mushroom by attacking it while it is in mid-animation.
When it comes to weaknesses, the Congalala is weak to Fire and Ice attacks and has a normal susceptibility to Poison, Sleep, Paralysis, Blastblight, Stun, and Exhaust.
Defeating a Congalala in the Congalala Cravings quest will award you with Droolshrooms – an ingredient that adds the Food Skill Black Belt Meal (Lo) to dishes. This skill reduces the stamina consumption of moves like normal evades, the Superman Dive, and readying an arrow with the Bow.
