Stun the Monster

One of the most challenging aspects of fighting Ebony Odogaron in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is its incredible speed. To counter this, consider using Flashflies, which are often found nearby. Triggering a Flashfly can stun the monster momentarily. Alternatively, crafting and using Flash Pods can also immobilize Ebony Odogaron, giving you a crucial window to attack.

Bring Teammates

Facing Ebony Odogaron alone can be daunting due to its relentless attacks. To increase your chances of success, it's advisable to bring teammates. Use SOS signals to call for backup; if no other players respond, NPCs can step in to assist. These allies can serve as a buffer, drawing the monster's attention away from you and allowing you to focus on dodging and striking at opportune moments.

Pull Down Entangled Rocks

During the battle, you'll enter an area with Entangled Rocks hanging above. Use your slinger to bring these rocks down on Ebony Odogaron, stunning it for a few seconds. This tactic can only be used once per fight, but you can also deploy Pitfall and Shock Traps to immobilize the creature two additional times.

Beware of Dragonblight

Ebony Odogaron can inflict Dragonblight, which, while not directly damaging, will hinder your ability to apply elemental or status effects. To counteract this, carry Nulberries to remove the blight or equip decorations with Level 3 Dragon Resistance or Blight Resistance to prevent it altogether.

Inflict Paralysis

Inflicting Paralysis on Ebony Odogaron is highly recommended. This status effect will immobilize the monster, making it easier to land attacks. If you can knock it down near roots, it may become further entangled, giving you additional time to deal damage.

Aim for the Head

The head of Ebony Odogaron is its weakest point, with a 3-star weakness rating. Targeting the head will maximize your damage output, but it also puts you at greater risk of retaliation. If you prefer a safer approach, aim for its forelegs and tail, which, while less damaging, can still lead to breaking its limbs.
