Stunning the Beast

Ebony Odogaron's speed is its greatest asset and your biggest hurdle. Stunning it is key. Utilize nearby Flashflies or craft Flash Pods to temporarily immobilize it.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Soloing Ebony Odogaron is incredibly difficult. Send out SOS flares to recruit fellow hunters. If assistance is unavailable, NPCs can act as valuable distractions, allowing you to focus on dodging and creating openings.

Environmental Advantages

In certain areas, you'll find Entangled Rocks above. Using your slinger to bring them down will stun the Odogaron (once per fight). Combine this with Pitfall and Shock Traps for additional immobilization opportunities.

Dragonblight Defense

Ebony Odogaron inflicts Dragonblight, reducing your elemental and status effect damage. Carry Nulberries to cure this ailment or equip decorations with Level 3 Dragon Resistance or Blight Resistance.

Paralysis for the Win

Paralysis is highly effective against Ebony Odogaron. This status effect will significantly hinder its movement. Ideally, paralyze it while it's near roots to further restrict its actions.

Strategic Targeting

While its head is a 3-star weakness, attacking it directly exposes you to danger. Consider targeting its forelegs and tail for less damage but increased safety, potentially breaking limbs.
