Advice on fighting Diablos in Monster Hunter World: the monster's strong and weak sides and its hunting strategy:

• General Description
• Resilience and physiology
• Low-level rewards

General Description

Characteristics: The most dangerous monster in Wildspire Waste. It's a territorial beast luring underground. It leaps out to the surface if it hears a loud noise.

Habitat: Wildspire Waste

In order to stand the best chance against this enemy, consider the following information:

1. You can lure Diablos out with loud noise. If you can manage to trick it to charge at a wildspire, it will be stuck for a moment, and hence - very vulnerable.
2. Watch out for the charges; make sure the monster breaks its horns by slamming into different spires or obstacles. This will make the monster weaker, and you will be able to collect the Twisted Horn - a unique item.
3. The monster is susceptible to ice and paralysis. Use that in combat. You can also use sliding attacks.

Resilience and physiology

The monster's weak spots are:

1. The head (can be broken)
2. The wings (can be broken)
3. Chest (can be broken)
4. You can also severe the tail and break its ridge.
