Monster Hunter Wilds Chatacabra strategy

The key to defeating the Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds is to focus on its long soft tongue. Typically the Chatacabra will use its long tongue to attempt to eat nearby Bulaqchi, the mosquito-like creatures in the Plains region. The Chatacabra tongue is its weak point, but there’s also a strategy to exposing the Chatacabra’s tongue for easy damage.

If you look at the front legs of the Chatacabra, you’ll see multiple ore veins stuck to their forelimbs. Attacking and breaking the ore on the Chatacabra’s legs will expose its entire frontal area, allowing you to more easily attack its tongue.

The forelegs of the Chatacabra are also the only two breakable parts of the large monster. As you continue to focus your damage on the ore deposits on the Chatacabra’s forelegs, you will eventually break it off, allowing you to then collect Chatacabra Shells for doing so.

In terms of🎃 Elemental Attacks, the Chatacabra is vulnerable to Ice and Thunder damage and can be affected by Flꩲash Pods, Shock Traps, and Pitfall Traps. The Sonic Bomb, however, is not effective.
