Utilizing Stun to Your Advantage

Ebony Odogaron's speed is its most frustrating trait. Stunning it is key to survival. Utilize nearby Flashflies or craft Flash Pods to momentarily immobilize the beast, creating openings for attacks.

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 tactical opportunities.

Environmental Hazards to Your Advantage

In certain areas, you'll find Entangled Rocks above the battlefield. Use your slinger to bring them down, stunning Ebony Odogaron for a significant period. Note that this tactic is only effective once per fight. Combine this with Pitfall and Shock Traps for additional immobilization opportunities.

Countering Dragonblight

Ebony Odogaron inflicts Dragonblight, hindering your ability to apply elemental or status effects. Carry Nulberries to quickly cure this ailment, or equip decorations with Level 3 Dragon Resistance or Blight Resistance for proactive defense.

The Power of Paralysis

Paralysis is exceptionally effective against Ebony Odogaron. This status effect will temporarily halt its movements, providing a crucial window for significant damage. Ideally, try to paralyze it while it's near roots for an extended period of incapacitation.

Strategic Targeting

Ebony Odogaron's head is its most vulnerable point (3-star weakness). However, this also puts you in close proximity to its attacks. Consider targeting its forelegs and tail for less damage but increased safety. Breaking these limbs offers additional strategic advantages.
