Stun the Monster

Ebony Odogaron's speed is its most daunting feature, making it a challenging foe for many players. To halt its relentless attacks, consider stunning it. You can find a Flashfly in the vicinity to trigger for a temporary stun. Additionally, crafting Flash Pods allows you to shoot them at the monster, effectively immobilizing it and giving you a crucial window to attack.

Bring Teammates

Facing Ebony Odogaron solo can be overwhelming, as you'll spend much of your time dodging its swift strikes. To enhance your chances of success, bring teammates. Use SOS signals to call for backup; fellow players might join your fight. If no one responds, NPCs can serve as valuable shields, drawing the monster's attention away from you. When targeted, focus on dodging until the monster shifts its focus to your allies.

Pull Down Entangled Rocks

During the battle, Ebony Odogaron may enter an area with Entangled Rocks overhead. Use your slinger to pull these rocks down, stunning the monster for several seconds. This tactic can be employed once per fight. Moreover, you can craft Pitfall and Shock Traps to immobilize the creature two additional times.

Beware of Dragonblight

In addition to its physical assaults, Ebony Odogaron can inflict Dragonblight, which hampers your ability to deal elemental or status effect damage. To counteract this, use a Nulberry to remove the status effect or equip a decoration with Level 3 Dragon Resistance or Blight Resistance to mitigate its impact.

Inflict Paralysis

Inflicting Paralysis on Ebony Odogaron is highly beneficial. This status effect immobilizes the monster temporarily, simplifying the fight. If you can knock it down while it's standing over roots, it may become further entangled, providing you with more time to inflict damage.

Aim for the Head

The head of Ebony Odogaron is its most vulnerable spot, boasting a 3-star weakness. Targeting this area maximizes your damage output, though it positions you directly in the monster's line of sight. If you prefer a safer approach, aim for its forelegs and tail, which, while less damaging, may allow you to break its limbs.

How to Capture Ebony Odogaron in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Ebony Odogaron requires strategic preparation. Deploy a Pitfall or Shock Trap to subdue the monster, but ensure its health is reduced to 20 percent or less first. If the monster's health is too high, the tranquilizer won't be effective, and it will soon break free, forcing you to resume the battle.
