Here’s what you need to know about Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds, including details on its strengths, weaknesses, how to beat it, and more.
Blangonga is a returning monster from Monster Hunter Generations. In Monster Hunter Wilds, he now roams around in the Iceshard Locale along with many Blango in its pack. This is a very straightforward fight compared to other monsters in this region. However, Blangonga is adept at using the environment around itself to its advantage. The fight can quickly get difficult without knowledge of its strengths and weaknesses.
This guide includes every detail about Blangonga, including its strengths, weaknesses, and how you can hunt it with ease.
Blangonga Overview
Blangonga is a Large Monster found roaming around in Iceshard Cliffs. It belongs to the Fang Beast species and looks like a large ape. Blangonga is an Ice elemental monster that it uses during the Frost Breath attack. The shape of this ape is similar to most other fanged beasts, such as Congalala and Ajarakan. It has muscly arms and nimble feet, which results in strong yet agile attacks.
Blangonga has one specialty that can become problematic for the Hunter. It is a very crafty monster that knows how to use its surroundings to its advantage. Due to Blangongas’ adaptability to its surroundings, it can use snow around it for surprise attacks on the Hunter. Additionally, another specialty of Blangonga is its social connection to other monsters in the area. A Blangonga can always be found moving around with its pack consisting of multiple Blango. Blango are similar, smaller ape-like monsters that help Blangonga till they don’t deem it fit as their leader.
How To Unlock Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds
Blangonga is a 5-star difficulty monster that is unlocked once the hunter has unlocked High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds. Moreover, you need to have Hunter Rank 10 at minimum.
Where To Find Blangonga
Once in High Rank and 10 HR, Blangonga can be seen roaming around in the Iceshard Cliffs, where you can engage it on sight. There are no certain places in the Iceshard Cliff that Blangonga frequents; therefore, you need to search thoroughly to find it.
Possible Turf Wars for Blangonga
Blangonga currently has only one possible turf war it can have with Hirabami. Hirabami is a serpent-like monster you can find in Iceshard Cliffs. It is highly recommended to start a turf war between these two whenever you can.
Blangonga Weaknesses
When it comes to weaknesses, Blangonga is quite weak to the Fire and Thunder elements. However, one thing that can be noted is that they are not resistant or immune to any status effect. Therefore, using Torch Pods and Thunder Pods can result in a quick buildup of Paralysis or Blastblight.
Blangonga Elemental Weaknesses
- Fireblight
- Thunderblight
Blangonga Status Weaknesses
- Poison
- Sleep
- Paralysis
- Stun
- Blastblight
- Exhaust
Naturally, Blangonga, being one of the Ice Element monsters, is resistant to the Iceblight along with Dragonblight. Slash Damage, Blunt Damage, and Projectile Damage are all equally effective on Blangonga. Due to their high agility, slow weapons are not preferable during the fight.
Blangonga Weak Points
There are two weak points you should try to focus on during a fight with Blangonga. First, its rear is the most exposed part of its body and thus takes extra damage when attacked there. The other is its fangs; both fangs of a Blangonga are separately breakable. Once broken, smaller Blango refuse to listen to the Blangonga due to losing its fangs. This can be a huge help, as you can have a proper duel with Blangonga once the other creatures leave.

Best Weapons for Blangonga in Monster Hunter Wilds
The best weapon you can use against Blangonga is anything that you can hit it with. Fast weapons such as Dual Blades and Long Swords can be quite useful due to their high-speed attacks.

Here are some weapons that can be used against Blangonga effectively:
- Great Sword
- Dual Blades

How To Beat Blangonga in MH Wilds
When you engage a Blangonga, try not to get overwhelmed due to the multiple Blango it summons. The main attack you want to avoid at all costs is its Frost Breath attack. While this attack isn’t powerful on its own, it can easily build up Iceblight on you. Having your mobility deteriorate can be quite detrimental to this fight. However, the Ice Breath attack has a long animation time. With proper movement, you can use this time to close in on Blangonga and attack its weak points.
The first part you want to focus on is Blangongas’ Fangs. Hammers and Greatswords seem to be quite effective if you can manage to land hits on the fangs. Once both of these are broken, the fight gets much easier when the Blangonga is unable to summon allies for help. Most of its other attacks are quite physical, which include punches, kicks, and leap attacks. Most of these are quite easy to dodge due to their long charging times. The leap attack especially gives quite some time to prepare for it as Blangonga jumps a few times in place before leaping towards you. Moreover, the Blangonga lands with a slide, which gives plenty of opportunity to attack its rear.
Blangonga can also use the snow around the area to its advantage. One of Blangonga’s attacks has it bury its arms in snow and throw it in front of them. Be sure to keep a good distance when it buries its hands into the snow. The last attack you need to be careful of is the Dig attack. Blangonga jumps into the snow for a few seconds and jumps out at the hunter. This can be easily dodged due to you being able to track the monster beneath the snow using your lock-on feature.

Tips To Defeat Blangonga
Here are some tips that can help you easily defeat Blangonga:
- Try to break off the fangs as soon as you can. This can stop Blangonga from summoning allies.
- Blangonga has long attacking windows after its attacks. Use this time to close in and deal damage. The window of opportunity you get after the Leap Attack is your best chance to hit its weak points.
- Traps of all sorts are useful against this monster; lay them around the arena and bait Blangonga into them. Use Flash Pods to stun Blangonga when you are ready to deal damage.
- You can use weapons from the Rathalos and Nu Udra tree to effectively damage Blangonga with Fire Element. Thunder Element weapons can also work just fine when fighting this monster.
- Armor from the Hirabami tree is quite resistant to Ice Elements, which can be quite effective when fighting Blangonga due to it being able to inflict Frostblight with its Ice Breath.
