[Reean]

as much armor as u can.

But the most improtant part is to study his moves. If u can read what he does u can evade it. There is no shame in playing careful. Whatever weapon you use, use short secure hits until ur sure a window is big enough to lay down a strong combo.

[Chonki boi]

What is youre mine weapon

[Chibbity]

When he goes underground, be ready to dodge him at the last second.

Putting the large rock pillars between you can help as well.

[Work Safe Name]

Sonic bombs will pop him out of the ground.
Breaking his horns will lessen his damage.
Trying bringing barrel bombs and make him run into them.
Lance or gunlance for easymode.

[threewaycrazy]

Diablos always a pain for me. Upgrade what you have as high as you can and try to use ice or water for a bit of extra elementary damage. They are not hard to read but they hit like a freight train.

[echelon]

Diablos is weak to ice and paralysis, so exploit it.

[UIY]

You can try to go with a lance and block his attacks, if nothing else you can add me and I will join you or you can post the lobby ID# and people can join.

[Cups]

My advice is to spend a few lives to learn his patterns. That more than anything will help you beat it. Diablos is the bane of my existance, I know your feels. He still reks my sorry self and I've fought quite a few of them. No matter what I bring, if I loose focus for 1 second, he makes me play Mario Cart. Figuring out where to be and when to attack is really key with Diablos.

[@iamgingerbear]

could take lbg and let him charge into your mines, thats always fun
ice bow makes short work of him too
certianly found those two options easier than melee

[Uranus Queen]

craft rathian set for HP bonus, always eat food to bonus HP.

and try to roll often, you can use screaming pod while diablos dig in to flush him out or just run far away from him.

and just take it slow, you have 50 mins for this quest not 5 mins, try to hit and run strategy, mount on him if you can, just climb over wall, jump and press attack, you will get used to it after few times.

[Stationary Traveller]

Bring screamer pods to make him pop out of the ground when he does his mole thing. If you can't pull them out quickly enough just sheath your weapon then do a superman dive when he comes out.
Let him run at you, then dodge at the last second, put a few hits into him then reposition to see what he's doing.
Don't be too aggressive because every one of his moves has a massive hitbox to punish you if you're reckless.
He's also very susceptible to paralysis so you can run any para weapon you have or bring shock traps with you. The Flashfly Cage gadget for your Palico can help you a lot against him.

[gachi is manly]

You can always spend the first 10-20 minutes of the fight just dodging him until he starts to get more tired and slows down.

[Ottomic]

As a charge blade main myself, I had quite the time with diablos, and in fact he still carts me with certain regularity. He can be super spammy and his charges are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. That said,

He's vulnerable to sonic bombs when he's underground, giving you some free hits. Also his underground charge goes in a straight line so if you dodge to the side while he's going for you you'll always evade it.

He's also vulnerable when he does his tail waggle.

Blinding him and sticking to its flank is also useful most of the time.

The side to side horn thing is also a good opportunity to flank it

Besides that, give it some distance and use hit and run attacks, don't get greedy and never hit it head on because it'll get a free one on your bounce.

[mitspieler]

An easy way to beat him is using lance and get at least one point in guard skill. You can block if not counter all his attacks. Gives you enough room to poke him to death.
Also a good point to get used to screamer pods and flash pods. As well as much raw def value you can get. Spent my first armor spheres for him.
He's also the first monster where it kind of matters to properly avoid getting hit imo.

[d k'n n'd'noarf]

Learn is moveset . Don't gank him because you will regret it .
Use Ice is super effective , Paralysis works too but depends on the weapon you use.
Going against it with switch axe with ice and Hunting horn with paralysis .
Insect glave works too but you have to move a lot and be quick to dodge because some attacks even with high defence hurt a lot.
If you can Get for you palico the shield accessory is good for attrack is attention.
