Stun the Monster
The speed of Ebony Odogaron is its most daunting trait, often leaving players struggling to keep up. To counter this, you can stun the beast using a nearby Flashfly or by crafting and deploying Flash Pods. These tools will give you crucial moments to attack without the monster retaliating.
Bring Teammates
Facing Ebony Odogaron solo can be overwhelming due to constant dodging. Bringing teammates into the fight can drastically change the dynamic. Use SOS signals to call for backup; if no players respond, NPCs can serve as effective distractions, allowing you to focus on evasion until the monster shifts its focus.
Pull Down Entangled Rocks
During the battle, you'll encounter areas with Entangled Rocks overhead. Using your slinger to bring these down can stun Ebony Odogaron for several seconds, though this tactic is a one-time use per fight. Complement this with Pitfall and Shock Traps for additional opportunities to immobilize the creature.
Beware of Dragonblight
In addition to its physical attacks, Ebony Odogaron can inflict Dragonblight, which prevents you from building up elemental or status effects. To mitigate this, use a Nulberry or equip decorations with Level 3 Dragon Resistance or Blight Resistance to negate its impact.
Inflict Paralysis
Paralysis is a highly recommended status effect to use against Ebony Odogaron. It immobilizes the monster, giving you a window to deal damage. If the monster is knocked down over roots, it may become further entangled, extending your attack opportunity.
Aim for the Head
The head of Ebony Odogaron is its most vulnerable spot with a 3-star weakness. Targeting it maximizes damage, though it puts you at risk. For a safer approach, aim for the forelegs or tail, which, while less damaging, can still lead to breaking the monster's limbs.

How to Capture Ebony Odogaron in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing Ebony Odogaron requires strategic timing. Deploy a Pitfall or Shock Trap once the monster's health is reduced to 20 percent or less. Ensure it's sufficiently weakened, or the tranquilizer won't work, and the monster will break free, forcing you to continue the fight.
