All Diablos Weaknesses

Diablos Elemental Weakness

The main weakness of this is ice, but if you have dragon or water weapons, those are good alternatives, even if they aren't as impactful. Thunder weapons are not very effective in the battle against Diablos, so avoid them if you can. Do not use fire weaponry on the Diablos, as this monster is immune to fire damage. Here are the locations where you should attack Diablos for extra elemental damage.

Aim your attacks at the Head, Horn, Abdomen, Back, Wing, and Tail Tip when fighting Diablos, as these regions are where it's most vulnerable.
