Facing the Congalala requires agility and strategic positioning. Its massive size and swift movements necessitate constant movement to avoid its potent breath attacks, which are most dangerous when you're directly in front or behind the beast. Be wary of its powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks.

To maximize damage, focus on its breakable parts. Start with the forelegs, as they leave the Congalala vulnerable for a few seconds after certain attacks. For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the beast to consume a mushroom, which it does visibly. After it spews gas from its front or rear, strike these areas when it's safe to do so.

If you find yourself affected by its fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to neutralize the effects. Exploit the wounds you create by employing Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deliver significant damage, effectively halting the Congalala's attacks and countering its breath or ground-smashing moves.
