How to beat Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds: Location, weaknesses, and strategy

Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds is a returning fanged beast that lurks in the frigid Iceshard Cliffs, always surrounded by a pack of Blangos. While not the hardest fight in the game, Blangonga’s agility, environmental awareness, and ability to summon its minions make it a serious threat.

This guide covers everything one needs to know to take down Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds, including its weaknesses and attack patterns, best weapons, armor, and items to bring along.

Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds can be found only within the Iceshard Cliffs, which have a reputation for violent blizzards and variable terrain. Hunters can obtain Blangonga when they hit Rank 10 Hunter Rank and become able to take on High Rank quests.

Contrary to other monsters that stick to prearranged patrol points, Blangonga is free to roam across various zones and, therefore, is not quite as easy to track. Watch it pull back further into the cliffs when damaged, taking cover behind the scenery.

Blangonga Weaknesses

Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds is also very vulnerable to both Fire and Thunder damage. Because it's based on Ice attacks, equipping a Fire-element weapon can cut through its defenses quicker. Unlike most monsters, Blangonga doesn't have any resistances to statuses, so Poison, Sleep, Paralysis, Stun, Blastblight, and Exhaust all function quite well.

This leaves hunters with a lot of choices when planning how to start the fight.

• Elemental weaknesses: Fire and Thunder
• Status weaknesses: Poison, Sleep, Paralysis, Stun, Blastblight, Exhaust

Blangonga Weak Points

To bring this Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds down efficiently, focus on:

• The Rear: The least protected part of its body, making it the best place to land consistent damage.
• The Fangs: Breaking them reduces its authority over Blangos, causing them to flee instead of aiding it in battle.

Best weapons for the hunt

Blangonga’s speed makes slow, heavy weapons more difficult to use effectively. Fast-hitting weapons like Dual Blades and Long Swords allow hunters to stay mobile while dealing consistent damage. However, Great Swords and Hammers are still viable for breaking its fangs, provided you can land charged attacks.

Items to carry

Blangonga’s Ice attacks and minion summons can make the battle messy. Bring these items to counter its abilities and keep the fight in your favor:

• Mega Potions
• Nulberry
• Cleanser
• Energy Drinks
• Armorskin Potions & Might Seeds
• Flash Pods
• Shock Traps & Pitfall Traps

Hunt strategy

Blangonga's Frost Breath attack is its most lethal move. It can rapidly accumulate Iceblight, slowing down stamina regeneration and making dodging more difficult. The attack, however, has a slow wind-up, so it is the ideal time to close in and strike.

At the start, focus on destroying the fangs. It drains Blangonga's grip over its Blango pack, who retreats as a result. Hammers and Great Swords perform well here with their high impact blows to the face.

Blangonga's leap attack is another to be careful of. It jumps back and forth a few times before charging off in a random arc. When it touches down, it slides across the ground, temporarily open and vulnerable — this is the ideal opportunity to strike its back for additional damage.

Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds also uses the environment, digging its hands into the snow and throwing it ahead to block the path. If it unexpectedly burrows into the ground, follow its movement and prepare to dodge when it comes back up.

• Avoid the Frost Breath attack — this is the best time to strike while it’s locked in animation.
• Break the fangs early to get rid of the smaller Blangos.
• Watch out for its leap attack — wait for the slide to punish its landing.
• Stay mobile — Blangonga’s attacks hit hard but are telegraphed. Keep moving and dodge wisely.

Tips and tricks to beat Blangonga

• Fire and Thunder weapons deal the most damage—Rathalos or Nu Udra weapons are great choices.
