Stunning the Beast
Ebony Odogaron's speed is its most frustrating trait. Stunning it is key. Utilize nearby Flashflies or craft Flash Pods for temporary immobilization.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Soloing Ebony Odogaron is incredibly difficult. Send out SOS signals for backup; other players or helpful NPCs can act as valuable distractions, allowing you to focus on dodging and creating openings.
Utilize Environmental Hazards
In specific areas, you can use your slinger to dislodge Entangled Rocks, stunning the monster. Remember, this is a one-time tactic per fight. Combine this with Pitfall and Shock Traps for additional control.
Beware Dragonblight
Ebony Odogaron inflicts Dragonblight, hindering your elemental and status effect damage. Carry Nulberries or equip Level 3 Dragon Resistance/Blight Resistance decorations to mitigate this.
Paralysis: Your Best Friend
Paralysis is highly effective. Immobilizing Ebony Odogaron provides crucial openings for damage. Ideally, paralyze it while it's near roots for maximum effect.
Target the Head (Cautiously)
Ebony Odogaron's head is its primary weakness (3-star). However, this makes you a target. Consider attacking its forelegs and tail for less damage but increased safety.
