Congalala's size and agility demand constant movement. Avoid its front and rear to evade its powerful breath attacks. It also uses powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks.

Prioritize breaking its forelegs for easier attacks. These attacks will leave it momentarily vulnerable. 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 safely exploit its vulnerability.

If hit by its fumes, use deodorant or roll in water to remove the effects. Capitalize on these openings using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes for maximum damage. This is particularly effective during breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing Congalala requires significantly weakening it first. The skull icon on the minimap and hunter dialogue will signal its exhaustion.

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