Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. It's crucial to avoid standing directly in front or behind it, as these are the primary zones for its potent breath attacks. The beast can also execute powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and long-range breath attacks.

To maximize damage, focus on its breakable parts. Targeting the forelegs is advisable, as they are often left vulnerable after certain attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, watch for the Congalala consuming a mushroom—a clear sign to prepare for an attack. Once it spews gas from its front or rear, you can safely attack these parts without immediate threat.

If you're hit by the gas, quickly use deodorant or roll through water to dispel its effects. Utilize the wounds you inflict to employ Focus Mode and Focus Strikes, which can deliver heavy damage and halt the Congalala, especially useful against breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala involves reducing its health until a skull icon appears on the minimap, indicating it's near defeat. Follow the beast until it attempts to recover by sleeping. At this point, set up either a Shock or Pitfall Trap near it, switch to Tranq Bombs, and wake the Congalala. Lure it into the trap and use 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
