Taming Ebony Odogaron's Speed

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

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Soloing Ebony Odogaron is incredibly difficult. Summoning help via SOS flares is highly recommended. Even if other players don't join, NPCs provide valuable distractions, allowing you to focus on dodging attacks while they draw the monster's attention.

Environmental Advantages

Utilize the environment! In certain areas, you can knock down Entangled Rocks with your slinger to stun the beast (once per fight). Combine this with Pitfall and Shock Traps for additional immobilization opportunities.

Countering Dragonblight

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

Paralysis: Your Best Friend

Paralysis is exceptionally effective against Ebony Odogaron. This status effect will halt its movements, providing crucial openings for damage. Ideally, paralyze it while it's near roots to maximize its entrapment.

Strategic Targeting

While its head is a 3-star weakness, dealing significant damage, it also makes you a prime target. Consider focusing on its forelegs and tail for less damage but a safer approach, potentially breaking limbs.
