How to Defeat Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds
Weaknesses: Ice, Thunder
Resistances: N/A
Immunities: Sonic Bomb
The Chatacabra, a sizable frog-like monster, primarily employs close-range attacks centered around its long tongue. However, it can also charge if you maintain a distance. While any weapon can effectively dispatch it, its smaller size might make weapons like the Bow and Charge Blade slightly less efficient than others due to their multi-hit attacks being optimized for larger targets.
Many attacks involve the tongue, making the area in front of the Chatacabra the most dangerous. Besides its tongue lash, it slams its front limbs into the ground, always preceded by a telltale rearing motion. The only significant threat when not directly in front is a rearward tongue sweep after it raises its head.
The optimal strategy is to position yourself to the sides, dodging or blocking its slam attacks. Utilizing its elemental weaknesses will significantly expedite the fight.
How to Capture Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds follows a consistent pattern, though the Chatacabra's inability to fly simplifies the process. You'll need a Shock Trap or Pitfall Trap, and two Tranquilizer Bombs. However, carrying one of each trap and a full eight Tranq Bombs is recommended to account for unforeseen circumstances.
Battle the Chatacabra until its icon on the minimap 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, completing the capture.
