Stun the Monster

Ebony Odogaron's speed is its most daunting feature, often leaving players struggling to keep up. To counter this, stunning the monster is key. Utilize the Flashfly found nearby to temporarily immobilize Ebony Odogaron. Additionally, crafting Flash Pods can provide another means to stun and stop the monster in its tracks, giving you precious moments to attack.

Bring Teammates

Facing Ebony Odogaron solo can be overwhelming due to its relentless attacks. To manage this, consider bringing teammates into the fight. Send out an SOS signal to call for backup; if no other players respond, NPCs can serve as effective distractions. Use them as shields while you dodge, waiting for the monster to shift its focus away from you.

Pull Down Entangled Rocks

During your battle, you'll encounter areas with Entangled Rocks hanging above. Use your slinger to pull them down and stun Ebony Odogaron for several seconds. This tactic can only be used once per fight, but you can also deploy Pitfall and Shock Traps to immobilize the creature two more times, providing additional opportunities to deal damage.

Beware of Dragonblight

Ebony Odogaron can inflict Dragonblight, which hampers your ability to deal elemental or status effect damage. To counteract this, keep Nulberries on hand to cure the blight, or equip decorations with Level 3 Dragon Resistance or Blight Resistance to mitigate its effects.

Inflict Paralysis

Paralysis is highly recommended for this fight. When applied, it immobilizes Ebony Odogaron for a short time, significantly easing the battle. If you can knock down the monster over roots, it might get further entangled, providing more time to attack.

Aim for the Head

The head is Ebony Odogaron's weakest point, boasting a 3-star vulnerability. Targeting it maximizes damage, though it also puts you at risk. For safer options, focus on its forelegs and tail, which, while less damaging, can still lead to breaking its limbs.

How to Capture Ebony Odogaron in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Ebony Odogaron requires strategic use of traps. Deploy a Pitfall or Shock Trap when the monster's health is reduced to 20% or less. At this point, the tranquilizer will successfully subdue it. Failing to weaken it sufficiently will result in the monster breaking free, forcing you to resume the fight.
