Characteristics
Known as the "Tyrant of the Desert." The Diablos is extremely territorial and will use its massive horns to charge at invaders. Diablos have the ability to borrow underground and use this ability to strike from below, however, their sensitive ears make them susceptible to Sonic Bombs. Despite their predatory appearance, they are herbivorous and mostly feed on cactus.

Hunting Tips

・Diablos can be forcibly brought to the surface by using loud sounds. And its charging attack, while devastatingly powerful, can be baited into colliding with anthills, momentarily getting the Diablos stuck.

Diablos Attack Patterns

Charging Attacks

One of Diablos' signature attcks. Diablos will lower its horns, lock on a target and run full speed at it dealing massive damage to any hunter's hit. Unprepared hunter's can be easily KO'd if they are caught off guard.

This attack has three possible variations. See all of them below:

Double Gore

Diablos preps his massive horns for two frontal head swings starting from one side to another. This attack covers a massive area in front of Diablos so be prepared to block both attacks or dodge out of the way!

Quick Bite

Diablos performs a quick bite towards hunters in front of it. This attack deals minor damage but can potentially knock you back, leaving you open for deadlier attacks.

Burrowed Attacks

Diablos' second signature attack. Diablos burrows underground and prepares to ambush the target from the earth. See its attack variations below:

Tail Attacks

Diablos can use its massive tail to inflict high damage towards unsuspecting hunters. See all of its attack patterns below:

Hip Check

Diablos rams its hips sideways similar to other Wyverns like Barioth, dealing massive damage and knocking anyone down in its path. Its best to dodge towards Diablos' tail when it begins to posture for a Hip Check.

How to Beat Diablos

Break Its Horns

An incredibly dangerous task but one that is worth the risk, breaking Diablos' horns greatly reduces the range of its Charge Attacks. It is important to note that Diablos' Horns are so tough that they can deflect most weapons below Blue Sharpness.

Hammers and Gunlances can bypass the toughness because of their charged swings and shelling damage respectively. Alternatively, consider using Mind's Eye against Diablos so you can strike its horns without fear of bouncing off of them.

Use Environmental Traps

Savy hunters will position themselves between a charging Diablos and a wall or pillar so that Diablo's horns get stuck. Similar to Tigrex, this will create a huge damage window for hunters to unleash they most powerful attacks.

Use Quicksand in the Sandy Plains

The same pillar Diablos' horns will become stuck in will also uncover a patch of quicksand if destroyed creating yet another way to hinder Diablos' movement.

Sonic Bombs Can Disable Diablos!

Hunters can use Sonic Bombs to force Diablos out of the ground! You can easily determine which burrowed attack Diablos will perform by its movement underground.

If DIablos is burrowing towards a target, it is performing a Burrowed Ambush — This particular attack can be interrupted!

Proper timing and placement of the Sonic Bomb (toss it near the breaking earth) results in Diablos prematurely springing out of the ground with its upper body exposed for a few seconds .

Keep to its Flank

Diablos' head is not only dangerous but also fairly hard to hit for melee weapons due to Diablos' general height. Keeping to its flank and attacking its legs and chest is a safer strategy that can also result in knockdowns.
