Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its large size and agility. It's crucial to avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast, as these are the prime spots for its breath attacks. The Congalala can also perform powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and long-range breath attacks.

To maximize your damage output, focus on its breakable parts. Targeting the forelegs is a solid strategy, as the Congalala often leaves itself vulnerable after certain attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, your best bet is to wait until it consumes a mushroom. Once it starts spewing gas, if you're not caught in the attack, you can safely attack these sensitive areas.

If you do get hit by its breath attacks, use a deodorant or roll through water to neutralize the effects. Capitalize on any wounds you inflict by using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal significant damage, potentially interrupting the Congalala's attacks.

Capturing the Congalala requires careful timing. When the beast's health is low, a skull icon will appear on the minimap, signaling that it's nearing its end. Follow the Congalala until it tries to sleep and recover. At this point, set up either a Shock or Pitfall Trap near it. Wake the beast and lure it into the trap, then throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
