Stun the Monster

Ebony Odogaron's speed is its most daunting feature, making it a challenging opponent. To counter this, stunning the monster is crucial. You can find a Flashfly in the vicinity to trigger a stun, or craft Flash Pods to shoot at the monster, effectively immobilizing it for a brief period.

Bring Teammates

Facing Ebony Odogaron alone can be overwhelming due to its relentless attacks. To mitigate this, consider bringing teammates into the fight. Use SOS signals to call for backup; if no players respond, NPCs can serve as effective distractions, allowing you to focus on dodging until the monster shifts its attention away from you.

Pull Down Entangled Rocks

During the battle, you'll encounter areas with Entangled Rocks overhead. Use your slinger to pull these down, stunning the boss 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 twice more.

Beware of Dragonblight

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

Inflict Paralysis

Inflicting Paralysis on Ebony Odogaron is highly recommended. This status effect immobilizes the monster, giving you a window to attack safely. If you can knock it down near roots, it may become further entangled, extending your opportunity to deal damage.

Aim for the Head

The head of Ebony Odogaron is its most vulnerable spot, with a 3-star weakness. Targeting this area maximizes your damage output, though it also puts you at greater risk. Alternatively, you can 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

To capture Ebony Odogaron, deploy a Pitfall or Shock Trap when its health is reduced to 20 percent or less. Ensure the monster is sufficiently weakened; otherwise, the tranquilizer won't be effective, and the monster will break free, forcing you to continue the fight.
