The Congalala's size and agility demand constant movement. Avoid its front and rear, the primary targets of its devastating breath attacks. It employs powerful hand slams, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks.

Prioritize attacking its forelegs for easier damage opportunities, as certain attacks leave it vulnerable for a few crucial seconds. For the head, tail, and rear, wait until it consumes a mushroom. This triggers either a frontal or rear gas attack. If you avoid the attack, you can freely strike these areas.

Should you succumb to its fumes, use deodorant or roll in water to cleanse the effects. Capitalize on inflicted wounds, using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes for maximum damage, especially to counter breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala requires significantly reducing its health. The skull icon on the minimap and hunter dialogue indicate its weakened state.

Follow it to its resting spot. Set either a Shock or Pitfall Trap nearby, then switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the Congalala, lure it into the trap, and deploy 2-3 Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
