Stun the Monster

Ebony Odogaron's speed is its most daunting attribute, making it a challenging adversary. To mitigate this, stunning the monster can give you the upper hand. Utilize nearby Flashflies to trigger a stun, or prepare Flash Pods to shoot at the creature, effectively immobilizing it temporarily.

Bring Teammates

Tackling Ebony Odogaron solo can be overwhelming due to its relentless attacks. To enhance your chances of success, summon teammates by sending out SOS signals. If other players don't join, NPCs can serve as valuable distractions, allowing you to focus on evasion until the monster shifts its focus.

Pull Down Entangled Rocks

During the battle, look for opportunities to use Entangled Rocks hanging above. By using your slinger to bring them down, you can stun Ebony Odogaron for a few crucial seconds. Remember, this tactic can only be employed once per fight. Additionally, craft Pitfall and Shock Traps to immobilize the monster twice more during the encounter.

Beware of Dragonblight

Ebony Odogaron can inflict Dragonblight, which, while not directly harmful, will hinder your ability to apply elemental or status effect damage. Counter this by consuming a Nulberry or equipping gear with Level 3 Dragon Resistance or Blight Resistance to mitigate its effects.

Inflict Paralysis

Inflicting Paralysis on Ebony Odogaron can significantly ease the battle by temporarily immobilizing the creature. If you manage to knock it down near roots, it might become further entangled, granting you additional time to unleash your attacks.

Aim for the Head

The head of Ebony Odogaron is its most vulnerable spot, boasting a 3-star weakness. Targeting this area maximizes damage output, though it also positions you directly in the monster's line of sight. Alternatively, focus on its forelegs and tail to potentially break these parts, albeit with less damage.
