Bounties are one of the most fun side activities in Avowed that allow players to test their might against powerful creatures. All major regions have their own set of bounties, but the Galawain's Tusks has some of the toughest bosses due to it being a late-game region. Congasar and Crusta are a duo of ogres who happen to be one of the bounty targets in the region. They've killed several wardens, and Solace Keep has a huge bounty on their heads.

How to Beat Congasar and Crusta Bounty Target in Avowed
Players will encounter the Congasar and Crusta bounty targets in the Shrine to Galawain in Avowed. The duo sit idly until players step into the shrine and aggro them. Now, before we discuss how to beat this ogre duo, let's go over their attacks quickly. Each ogre has its own special attack that it'll use against you. So it's best to know about them beforehand so you can counter them effectively in combat.
- Powerful Stomp (Congasar): Congasar has a unique ability where it can slowly raise its feet in the air and stomp on the ground, causing AOE damage around it. However, this attack is pretty slow and can be dodged easily.
- Club Smash (Both): Both ogres have the standard club smash attack, where they'll raise the weapon over their head and hit players with a crushing blow. It's a little harder to dodge as they randomly switch from one strike to multiple without warning.
Also, you should know that midway through the boss fight, a skeleton army swarms the shrine from all directions. Although minion skeletons are easier to deal with, the priests are dangerous as they can rapidly restore Congasar and Crusta's health to maximum. It's always recommended to direct your attacks against the priest.
Best Strategy to Beat Congasar and Crusta
The best way to deal with the Congasar and Crusta bounty is through a wizard build (with AOE spells) due to the sheer number of mobs that you'll have to deal with. So, at the start of the battle, focus your attacks on a single ogre and leave the other one for your companions. Once its health is low enough, go in for the kill. If skeletons start spawning around the one you're focusing on, quickly dispatch the priest to prevent it from healing the ogres.
Once the priests are down, continue attacking the single ogre and get rid of any minion skeletons that come in the way. After one ogre is down, repeat the process with the other one. As you finish the boss fight, clear the area of any remaining skeleton enemies and pick up 2x
Half Moon Bracelet from each of the ogre bodies as trophies. This way, you'll beat Congasar and Crusta and complete the bounty in Avowed.
