Where to find Guardian Ebony Plates in MH Wilds

You can get ܫGuardian Ebony Plates ﷽through the following methods:

  • Participate in Optional Quests
  • Battle the Guardian Ebony Odogaron in the Ruins of Wyveria
  • Trade with Ren in Sild or the Village Intermediary

Sometimes, you can find the Guardian Ebony Odogaron while in the wilds. Check your Environment Overview while in the Ruins of Wyveria to see if the creature is lingering about. If you’ve reached the endgame and can no longer access this area, ensure to progress through the endgame to return to Wyveria once more. However, since the Guardian Ebony Odogaron spawn rate can ไbe chancy, you ꩲcan opt for the Optional Quests or Item Trades instead.
