"Guide to Defeating and Capturing Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Eager to conquer the Chatacabra in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? This long-tongued amphibian is one of the first monsters you'll encounter, making it a prime target for honing your hunting skills. Whether you're aiming to slay it or capture it, here's your comprehensive guide to mastering the Chatacabra.

How to Beat Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Chatacabra, a formidable frog-like creature, primarily engages in close-range combat with its tongue. However, it can also charge at you if you're out of its immediate reach. Known for being one of the easier monsters to battle, any weapon can be effectively used against it, though larger weapons like the Bow and Charge Blade might be less efficient due to the Chatacabra's smaller size.

Most of the Chatacabra's attacks are centered around its tongue, posing the greatest threat when you're positioned in front of it. Besides its tongue attacks, it uses its front limbs to slam the ground, which is always preceded by it rearing up—a clear sign to dodge or block. The only notable attack from the back is a sweeping tongue move, which occurs when it raises its head skyward.

To defeat the Chatacabra effectively, position yourself near its sides. This minimizes your exposure to its frontal attacks. Dodge or block when it prepares to slam, and exploit its weaknesses to Ice and Thunder for a quicker victory. With the right strategy, you'll soon be sporting a new frog skin hat!

How to Capture Chatacabra in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing the Chatacabra in *Monster Hunter Wilds* follows the standard procedure for capturing monsters in the game, with the added advantage that this creature cannot fly. To prepare, ensure you have either a Shock Trap or a Pitfall Trap, along with at least two Tranq Bombs. It's wise to carry one of each type of trap and up to eight Tranq Bombs to account for any mishaps.

Engage the Chatacabra in combat until its icon on the mini-map displays a small skull, indicating it's weakened and about to limp to a new area for the last time. Follow it to its destination, set your trap in its path, and lure it into the trap. Once trapped, use two Tranq Bombs to sedate the Chatacabra, completing the capture successfully.
