Congalala’s size and agility demand constant movement. Avoid its front and rear to evade its breath attacks. It employs powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks. Focus your attacks on the forelegs for easier damage opportunities, exploiting openings created by its attacks. When it consumes a mushroom, wait for the breath attack, then exploit the vulnerable moments afterward. Use deodorant or water to cleanse yourself of its fumes. Utilize Focus Mode and Focus Strikes for significant damage, particularly during breath attacks or ground smashes.

Weaken Congalala significantly before attempting capture. The skull icon on the minimap and hunter dialogue indicate its weakened state. Prepare Shock or Pitfall Traps, lure it into the trap, and use 2-3 Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
