Facing the Congalala, a creature known for its size and agility, requires constant movement. Positioning is key; avoid standing directly in front or behind the beast to minimize the impact of its potent breath attacks. Be prepared for its powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks.

Target the Congalala's breakable parts to maximize damage. The forelegs are the easiest target, as the beast often leaves them exposed after attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the Congalala to consume a mushroom, which is visible, and then strike when it exhales gas from either its front or rear. If you manage to avoid the gas, you can attack these vulnerable areas without fear of immediate retaliation.

If you're affected by the gas, use deodorant or roll through water to neutralize the effects. Exploit the wounds you inflict by using Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver significant damage, effectively halting the Congalala's attacks and countering its breath or ground smashes.

Capturing the Congalala in *Monster Hunter Wilds* requires reducing its health significantly. Look for the skull icon on the minimap next to the monster and listen for cues from your character or other hunters indicating it's near defeat. Follow the Congalala to its resting spot, set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap nearby, and switch to Tranq Bombs. Wake the monster, lure it into the trap, and then use 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
