Learn how to defeat the aggressive Black Diablos in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Discover its weaknesses, powerful attacks, and effective strategies for this challenging hunt.

Alright, let's talk about the Black Diablos in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Now, this isn't actually a subspecies like you might think, but rather a female Diablos that's in heat. When they're like this, their colors change to signal to males that they're ready to breed, but it also means they're way more aggressive, especially to protect their eggs and ward off any weaker males. So, when you're facing off against this souped-up Diablos, you're gonna need to tread very carefully.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Elemental: Ice
  • Status: Poison

Attacks:

  • Black Diablos is significantly faster and more aggressive when enraged, almost doubling her speed.
  • Burrow Leap: After burrowing, she'll explode from the ground and immediately charge. This can be chained into her Pivoting Charge.
  • Pivoting Charge: She'll charge, then whirl around and charge back at you, much like Tigrex. This attack can easily hit you from behind.

Breakable Parts:

  • Shares all breakable parts with the standard Diablos.

Strategy:

  • Black Diablos is vulnerable to Sonic Bombs just as she starts to burrow.
  • After using a Pitfall Trap, she becomes vulnerable to Flash Bombs as she tries to escape.
  • Important: These bomb tactics won't work once she's enraged. Keep an eye on her rage state!
