Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. Avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast, as these are prime spots for its potent breath attacks. The Congalala can also deliver powerful smashes with its hands, whip its tail, and use ranged breath attacks.

Focus your attacks on its breakable parts for maximum damage. The forelegs are the easiest target, as the Congalala often leaves them vulnerable after certain attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the beast to consume a mushroom, which is clearly visible, and then strike when it expels gas from its front or rear. If you avoid the gas, you can attack these parts without fear of immediate retaliation.

If you get hit by the fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to neutralize the effects. Exploit the wounds you create by using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal significant damage and interrupt the Congalala's attacks, especially its breath and ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala in *Monster Hunter Wilds* requires careful timing. When the beast's health is low, a skull icon will appear on the minimap, and your character or other hunters will comment on its weakened state. Follow the Congalala to its resting spot, where it attempts to recover.

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