| Killy_Vorkosigan said: FYI I really beat easily offline lagi at my first run, with full ingot armor lvl 3/4, and a thunder 8 charm, with a 2 thunder decoration you have easily a 35 thunder resistance for an overall 120 armor. The best weapon for me at that moment was a fire hammer. You can get the money for that quest if you do a few powderstone runs with a loc lac armor for the transporter skill for money and dragonstones.
Ok, at the moment, i am stuck at HR 30 online because of that overpowered cheating haxxorz Diablos. I am also stuck at 5 stars quest offline. I do not get how i can harm him in any way. Today, I made several runs with different teams of lvl 25 - 35 guys, and we systematically, pathetically died under its claws. There's no opening to him. He keeps on swinging ihs tail. You can't hit him from the rear, neither from the sides because its tail sweeps. Hitting him on the head is suicide. Hitting him below is not efficient because of his trampling move. I've read on ze internetz the sonic bomb trick, that i almost never can do myself. Do you have to shoot the sonic bomb as soon as he is in the ground ? Also, is it right that he has a paralysis weakness ? Moreover, I can't have him stick its clws in the walls, I get trampled. I have to try him with rathian armor, with earpkugs and sense skills, a big load of flash bombs and sonic bombs, a paralykeet (para hammer) or anahanta boneblade , and chacha with earplug as well. I'll bring bomb also, so if i manage to get him with the sonic bomb trick, I'll bomb him to death (not mine, but his, I hope !). And shitload of traps. Anyone has some other tips for a whining fellow hunter ?

When his tail is just going under is the best time to throw the bomb. (Alternately, ask Iwata to drop it for you) The problem you're having is likely that it does not work when he is in rage mode, and Diablos pretty much goes into rage mode when someone looks in his general direction.
Your better bets are to use traps, to keep your back to a wall when feasible (preferably the pillars in the Area with the cacti), and to track his underground movements so he doesn't spring up at you. It's easiest with a lance, since you can block with minimal damage, but if you're familiar with the timing it's quite possible to use your rolls and dives to get clear.
In terms of hurting him, he mostly moves too quickly to get off long combos, so don't expect to do so. Always expect a tail swipe after he charges and sits still for a second, so wait until the last swipe is ending before going in and nibbling away at his health. If you're running towards him, the right side is *slightly* safer, but not by much. Consider bringing flash bombs to make him a bit more predictable. Paralysis is also a wonderful thing with him.
Overall, just don't get greedy. He attacks quickly and hits hard, so don't think you'll have time to Triple Pound him. Just get your lumps in where you can, reserve your traps until he's getting fatigued (and not raging!), then go all out. You'll know the end is near when he heads to his lair: a few bombs placed near his sleeping head, a whack or two, and you'll emerge victorious!
If you want, I'll be happy to go through it with you online tomorrow.
