How to beat the Diablos
The Diablos is quite a piece of work. It is particularly tough and your weapons will bounce off its carcass unless they are very sharp. Its weak and tender points are its head and the mud on its tail, but they are protected by large, strong horns. Use blunt weapons to hit the head and break the horns, or sharp weapons to attack the tail and cut it off so that only the sensitive part remains. Breaking its horns greatly reduces the range of its attacks.
Diablos' movements fall into three main categories. It attacks either by charging at you, tail slapping you, or burying itself. Since it cannot attack with its legs, wings or flank, you will be safest under the Diablos.
When the Diablos is about to charge, it will usually let out a small cry and scratch the ground with one of its paws. Its charge is devastating, so be extremely careful. Lure it close to a wall and dodge at the last moment with your filopter so that it hits a wall and knocks itself out.
If the Diablos is burying itself, it will rise from the ground and attack one of the players. Put your weapons away and prepare to do an emergency dodge. You can also get him out of the ground by using a sonic bomb.
