Ready to conquer the Chatacabra, that long-tongued menace in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? This guide will walk you through both killing and capturing this early-game foe, ensuring you become a Chatacabra-hunting expert.
How to Beat Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds
Weaknesses: Ice, Thunder
Resistances: N/A
Immunities: Sonic Bomb
The Chatacabra, a large frog-like monster, primarily uses close-range tongue attacks. It might also rush you from a distance. While any weapon works, its small size makes bows and charge blades slightly less effective due to their multi-hit attacks being more efficient against larger targets.
Most attacks involve its tongue, making the front a dangerous area. Besides the lick attack, it slams its front limbs, always preceded by a telltale rearing motion. The only significant attack from a distance involves raising its head and sweeping its tongue behind it.
The optimal strategy is to stay to its sides, dodging or blocking its rearing slam attack. Utilizing its elemental weaknesses will significantly speed up the fight.
How to Capture Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds follows a consistent pattern. The Chatacabra, thankfully, can't fly. You'll need a Shock Trap or Pitfall Trap, and two Tranq Bombs. It's wise to carry one of each trap and eight Tranq Bombs for contingencies.
Battle the Chatacabra until its mini-map icon displays a skull, indicating its final retreat. Follow it, set your trap, and lure it inside. Once trapped, use two Tranq Bombs to tranquilize it—and you're done!
