Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. Avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast, as these areas are most vulnerable to its potent breath attacks. Be cautious of its powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks.

Focus your attacks on the forelegs for easier damage opportunities, as the Congalala's attacks often leave it momentarily vulnerable. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the beast to consume a mushroom, which is clearly visible. After it spews gas, you can attack these parts safely if you're not caught in the blast. If affected by the fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to cleanse the effects.

Exploit any wounds you create and use Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver heavy damage, effectively countering its breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala requires reducing its health until a skull icon appears on the minimap, indicating it's on its last legs. Follow the beast until it sleeps to recover. Prepare a Shock or Pitfall Trap near its resting spot, then switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the Congalala and lure it into the trap, then throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
