Monster Hunter WildsGuardian Ebony Odogaron Guide - Weaknesses, Location, Armor & More

In Monster Hunter Wilds, Odogaron is returning as a Construct monster version: Guardian Ebony Odogaron.

Its original version first appeared in Monster Hunter World. The first time you encounter it in WIlds is early on in Chapter 3 of the Campaign.

This guide is written by @dxvis.

Guardian Ebony Odogaron is currently only found a the Ruins of Wyveria.

Water and Paralysis are effective against Guardian Ebony Odogaron, so keep that in mind when selecting your weapon choices. It's also a very mobile matchup with jerky burst movement, so be ready to react accordingly.

The main debuffs it can inflict are Bleeding (deals damage while you move, attack, or dodge), and Dragonblight. Bleeding can be removed with items like Well-done Steak, Ration, or Rare Steak while Dragonblight can be healed with Nulberry.

Knock Out Powered Up Mode

Destroying several open wounds while Odogaron is powered up will knock it down, and make it exhausted, which will diminish its elemental energy and make its attacks slower until it feeds off on Wylk.

Destroy Wylk

When it is regenerating in an area with wylk, you can shoot the wylk with elemental damage from your slinger to destroy it.

Claw Attack

Odogaron can quickly attack with its claws to targets in front of it.

Claw Ground Smash

Odogaron stands on its hindlegs before smashing down its claws. While it is powered up with Wylk, this attack makes the ground explode on contact over a large area, and creates a temporary wound on Odogaron’s claws after.

Bite Lunge

Odogaron opens its mouth and then dashes forward with incredible speed. This attack can be difficult to dodge, so avoid standing directly in front of it when you’re close.

Leap and Tail Swipe

Odogaron leaps forward and then swipes with its tail as it flips backward. Dodge away from it to avoid getting hit by its tail.

Tail Swipe Behind

When you stay behind Odogaron, it can quickly swipe its tail from one side to another. Dodge outwards to avoid getting hit.

Tail Spin

Another Tail attack has Odogaron’s Tail glow with Wylk, before it swipes in front. When you see the tail glow, move back.

Body Twist and Dash

Odogaron can create distance between it and hunters by roaring and twisting its body around before dashing away.

Claw + Dragon Energy Ball

Odogaron’s mouth flashes with red dragon energy as it leaps away and fires a dragon energy ball at the same time, which can inflict Dragonblight. When you see it leaping high into the air, dodge in any direction to avoid getting hit. It often uses this attack after a single claw swipe with a wylk explosion.
