Paralysis so using traps is effective - Black Diablos are much more aggressive towards intruders when in heat, and are known to attack enemies in retreat. Do not let your guard down even if you think you've established a safe distance from these monsters.
- Master Rank Changes
- The prime thing Black Diablos gained is SPEED.
- Expect Black Diablos to dive into the ground, erupt, SLAM DOWN and burrow back in the ground within ten seconds, several times in a row.
- Her Damage rivals elder dragons now
- Bring screamer pods and spare screamer sacs to craft more. Use a screamer pod when Black Diablos is Enraged while underground to pull her to the surface where she will be stuck for a few seconds as if in a pitfall trap.
Diablos Combat Tips
- Equip Melee Weapons and focus on precision, block when necessary, and exploit openings.
- Equip Ranged Weapons: Maintain distance, capitalize on weak points, and stay mobile. Using Heavy Bowguns is effective for skilled users, but be careful due to Black Diablos' erratic behavior.
- Black Diablos exhibits a 3-star weakness to Ice, followed by Water and Dragon elements. Paralysis is highly effective, while ailments like poison, sleep, and blast can be leveraged. Stun takes longer, so plan your approach accordingly. Target its head for blunt weapons, chest for melee, and wings for ranged attacks.
- Maximize your rewards by focusing on breaking Black Diablos' horns, wings, and severing its tail. Team coordination is key here – distribute roles based on each member's strengths to efficiently weaken the beast and increase your chances of success.
- Black Diablos is known for its swiftness and aggressive charging. Use its speed against it by baiting charges into rock pillars for temporary immobilization. Be vigilant for head swings and tail swipes, often executed twice in opposite directions. The burrow move is its signature, countered by evading or using screamer pods to force it out and create attack opportunities.
- In confined spaces, like the final arena, Black Diablos becomes an even more formidable adversary. Stay mobile, master well-timed Superman dives to dodge attacks, and be prepared for surprise burrows. Flash bombs can provide crucial moments to reset the fight, giving you the upper hand.
- Screamer Pods are invaluable against Black Diablos. Use them when it burrows to force it out, creating openings for free hits. Pitfall Traps are superior to shock traps, offering extended attack windows. Flash Pods may cause temporary disorientation, providing a momentary advantage. Adapt your strategy on the fly due to the unpredictability of the encounters.
- Prioritize high defense, and consider Slugger for easier knockouts and Stun Resistance to counter stunning attacks. Partbreaker enhances damage output by targeting horns, reducing the threat of specific attacks. Choose weapons wisely based on your preferred playstyle.

If you come here in 2024, these are tips for Miss Diablos:
- If you're not using weapon with shield (lance, gunlance, charge blade, even Sword and Shield), consider bringing evasion (window/extend) jewels
- Divine Blessing and stun resistance (max out) are recommended, espeacially stun res
- Screamer pods when she burrows
- Always top-up your health, she can one-shot you
- Her all-round hitbox is massive, so be careful with her tail, cut it off if you can, then go for the head
- Careful when claw-clutching, she can shove you off pretty easy

**** the giant crown of this one... It took me forever to find.

Most annoying piece of **** in the game. Digs and charges 90% of the time.

Tips for fighting this:
-Use streamer pods when ur burrows
-use lighting weapons and aim for the head and horns
For me I just used bows to ignore it’s stunning roar
this game has pretty mixed signals... do i fight an enraged monster or not? not even mentioning agitator and health augment, some monsters specifically have increased hitzones while enraged, and reward counter-aggression with huge topples. but for diablos, you can't out-brute it, especially black diablos. ideally, this would always be the case. a puny human hunter shouldnt be able to win against huge monsters in a contest of strength. the more action-focused gameplay of world makes diablos a huge curveball for people who start with this game like me. but then again, world is also my introduction to the series.. and the reason i'm now playing through the older games. so really, i guess the newer games did good.

Tempered MR Black Diablos is hell
On average it will bury 5 times in a row, constant charges so you spend half of the overground battle running after it, randomly double screams and nevermind that damage per hit
Pretty much have to heal any chip damage because if you do get get by that charge or unburrowing, anything less than full health with all max health boosts means death

I had a dream last night where I was a sweaty long sword main and I was killing her and the male diablos. My long sword did like, 900 damage per hit though, so the fight was over pretty quickly. One of my weirdest dreams so far lol.

Female Diablos in heat.... I'm pretty sure that means its horny

Blinded her with a flash pod and when I went in to deal damage she just roared until the effect wore off and charged me. I recommend bazel gauntlets, helmet, and coil to get lvl 5 earplugs to be immune to the constant roaring.

i hate black diablos for one reason instead of doing a normal charge it creeps up step by step until its too late

This might be controversial to say, but I actually enjoy hunting her. Keeps me on my toes, it never gets boring and very satisfying to eventually slay her. I usually fight her as a warm-up. And it does help improve your mastery over your desired weapon. If you can comfortably fight her, an extremely aggressive and massive beast, you’ll get a lot more comfortable with the rest of the entire game. After I did that optional quest to improve my Rocksteady-mantle I just went to the Guiding Lands for fun and hunted like 10 high tier monsters and a couple of Elder Dragons with relative ease, and even if it took some effort, I didn’t faint once. I just love the challenge this provides. (Just fyi, I use mainly raw builds, nothing elemental. To me its the most reliable way to hunt, and fighting a Black Diablos like this excites me the most)

I just killed my first black diablos with the deviljho horn and **** armor and it's not as hard as people say if you set a trap next to a cactuar and let it do half the work for you
- Anonymous
I really wished she wasn't resistant to dragon. Also tip: to make things faster find devilijho in the area. If he's not there than find diablos, if he's not there than find a cactuar. PS if black and normal diablos get in a fight the winner is random so I would rather use devilijho.

the key to to black diablos is that you have to be very evasive and patient and wait for the oppurtunity to strike
you can try bait out the double tail check and get some free slashes on the head, you could wait for it to burrow and hit it with a screamer pod stuff like that just try to see how it's behavior (or AI) works and be creative
this aint a time test you have well over an hour to beat this black monster (unless investigation lol)

Nearly 29 minutes fighting this thing for Rocksteady Mantle+. It was infuriating, annoying and tiresome but somehow I did it. ...yay. ~ * Collapsed. *

Jee some of this info is awfully subjective ain't it. ''Master Rank Changes - One of the most annoying monsters to fight - Overall, avoid at all costs. To bad a tempered Black Diablos is Guarding the Rocksteady Mantle +''

I am going to say this because so many people aren't doing this, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HEATH UP. Do not underestimate this monster she will kill you If she gets the chance I recommend at least 75% of your health is still intact before engaging
I thought it was a omnivore, due to it eating a barroth and being a apex predator.

OK stupid*****, I break both its horns and it gives me twisted horn instead

"a female diablos in heat" Yet fights the regular and white version? Diablos are strange creatures aren't they...?

For anyone farming the horns: Bring any weapon with sleep (or a Palico weapon, will take longer though) and try to get it to sleep as fast as possible. Then just put 2 Mega Barrel Bombs next to it's head and wake it up with your strongest attack to the head. That is usually enough to break one horn and damage the other one. Good luck.

Some fights in MH games are just more annoying than challenging, and BD is one of them, due to the moveset and how they balanced her. Most time of the fight is not actually spent fighting but just waiting for an opening

JUST STAY ABOVE GROUND FOR ONE *****ING MINUTE YOU BLACK PIECE OF*****!! TAKE SCREAMER PODS THEY SAID HAHA FUNNY BECAUSE YOU RUN OUT OF PODS AND CRAFTING MATERIAL 2MINS IN!!!

She's like a hidden Arch-Tempered Elder Dragon, especially with multiplayer HP scaling. I had a lot more fun fighting AT Kirin with no elemental resists.

I used to be one of those people who got super salty about Black Diablos. Then I went back and played all other Monster Hunters. Now she's just a good ride and free zenny. Bring your screamer pods, time your shots right (wait for her to fully burrow), and light a cigar as you wail away for free damage. Prioritize lateral movement at a distance, or dive between her legs (giggity) when she's close. Use slopes to your advantage when she does her horn swipes, because the tail can still hit but will whiff if she's uphill. World's version of Big Black D is remarkably easy to take compared to prior iterations. Have fun!

Beware of "capture" quests. The Black Diablos will not usually run away when weakened, so you may have literally no warning that its health is low before it dies.

Hello. My name is Sandra B. Diablos. I like long walks on the beach, spending 50% of my time burrowing underground, 20% of my time exploding back to the surface, and 30% of my time having a persistent hitbox that can do damage even when I'm seemingly standing still or not touching you. Will you love me?

Ah yes. The one monster that gets under my skin. It doesn't matter how extended your evade distance is, how stun free you are or what weapon you use. It's gonna hurt ya bad before you drop it. Deal with it.

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to give her perfect tracking on her charge? It's as bad as those Flame Salamanders in Dark Souls 2.

also, it will engage in a turf war with a regular diablos, doing around 3000 damage to it.

Don't forget screamer pods in master rank or you'll wish you never bought this game.
