To the Forest walkthrough
To the Forest objectives
To the Forest is a quick in-between main mission.
As the game recommends, you’re free to hunt a random monster to grind for better gear.
Or you could skip that and head toward the forest.
But it never hurts to get more materials forbetter weaponsand armour.
Otherwise, follow the mission marker to the north end of the map to complete To the Forest.
Be sure to speak with both fresh and familiar characters as you explore your surroundings.
Once you’re ready to leave, talk to Erik and head out to set up a Pop-up Camp.
Upon reaching the Pop-up Camp spot and setting up, your crew will get back to tracking the Doshaguma.
Which leads us to our next battle as Erik suddenly goes missing.
Unfortunately, thearachnophobia modeonly impacts small monsters and other little creatures.
So here’s your warning that it doesn’t change Lala Barina.
Fortunately, they heavily telegraph this move.
The good thing about this attack is that you could walk away and Lala Barina will chase you.
Then, you don’t have to worry about those florets paralysing you.
But, when Lala Barina becomes enraged, they become a bit harder to evade.
This is due to other attacks where they’ll spray more of their florets in a larger area.
Defeating Lala Barina returns you to the Base Camp, and after a cutscene, Gemma calls you over.
This triggers another cutscene ending with you following a group of small creatures called Lynians.
Eventually, you’ll reach a group of Lynians to speak with.
And they’ll request that you deal with a monster that is likely a Congalala.
These are commonly used to capture monsters.
In other words, Congalala will make you smell, which prevents using certain items like healing items.
it’s possible for you to use Deodorant or dodge in water to remove the smelly status effect.
If you’re playing with a Palico, they may also use Deodorant on you to remove it.
Otherwise, you might wait for the effect to go away.
A quick but important tip to know about Congalala is that several of their attacks make them vulnerable.
While this is the case for many monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, Congalala makes it obvious.
For example, they have a flurry attack where they claw at you four times before falling.
This opens them up to a beating.
The early fight is a bit of a tutorial since many of their attacks become faster when enraged.
This is where you’re more likely to have trouble if you could’t evade or block easily.
This is telegraphed when Congalala inflates their stomach and slaps it beforehand.
Use this moment to attack their side or butt immediately.
Defeating Congalala completes the main mission Forest Findings and finishes Chapter 1-3.
