Stunning the Beast

Ebony Odogaron's speed is its most frustrating trait. Stunning it is key. Utilize nearby Flashflies or craft Flash Pods to temporarily immobilize it.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Fighting solo is a recipe for disaster. Send out SOS flares to summon allies. Even if human hunters don't arrive, NPCs provide valuable distractions, allowing you to focus on dodging attacks.

Utilize the Environment

In specific areas, you can trigger Entangled Rocks above the monster with your slinger, stunning it for a few precious seconds (usable only once per fight). Combine this with Pitfall and Shock Traps for additional immobilization opportunities.

Beware Dragonblight

Ebony Odogaron inflicts Dragonblight, reducing your elemental and status effect damage. Counter this with Nulberries or Level 3 Dragon Resistance/Blight Resistance decorations.

Paralysis is Your Friend

Paralysis significantly hampers Ebony Odogaron's mobility. Combine this with knocking it down near roots for extended incapacitation.

Target the Head (Cautiously)

The head boasts a 3-star weakness, maximizing damage output. However, this also makes you a prime target. Its forelegs and tail offer safer, albeit less damaging, alternatives.
