Ready to conquer the Chatacabra, the long-tongued menace of *Monster Hunter Wilds*? This early game foe is a great training ground, so let's master the art of both slaying and capturing it.
How to Defeat the 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 attempt a rush attack if you maintain distance. While any weapon works, its smaller size might make weapons like the Bow and Charge Blade 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 zone. Besides its licking attack, it slams its front limbs into the ground after a noticeable rearing motion. The only significant attack from a distance involves it raising its head and sweeping its tongue behind it.
The optimal strategy involves flanking the Chatacabra and dodging or blocking its slam attack. Utilizing its elemental weaknesses will significantly speed up the fight.
How to Capture the Chatacabra in *Monster Hunter Wilds*
Monster capture in Monster Hunter Wilds follows a consistent process. The Chatacabra's inability to fly simplifies things. Equip a Shock Trap or Pitfall Trap, and bring two Tranquilizer Bombs. However, carrying one of each trap and eight Tranquilizer Bombs is advisable for a smoother capture.
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 Tranquilizer Bombs to tranquilize it, completing the capture.
