Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. Avoid standing directly in front or behind the beast, as these are prime spots for its potent breath attacks. It can also smash with its hands, whip with its tail, and use its breath at a range.

To maximize damage, focus on its breakable parts. Start with the forelegs, which are easier to target and leave the Congalala open for a few seconds after certain attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the beast to consume a mushroom, which is a clear signal. When it spews gas from either its front or rear, you can attack these parts without fear of immediate reprisal.

If you get hit by its fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to cleanse the effects. Utilize the wounds you cause to apply Focus Mode and Focus Strikes, dealing heavy damage and potentially stopping the Congalala in its tracks. This strategy can effectively counter its breath attacks or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala follows similar principles as other monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Wait for the skull icon to appear on the minimap next to the monster, signaling it's near death. Your character or other hunters will comment on its weakened state.

Follow the beast to its resting spot. Prepare either a Shock or Pitfall Trap, place it near the sleeping monster, and switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the Congalala and lure it into the trap. Once trapped, throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
