You can find Deviljho in Monster Hunter Now during the Outbreak event. Here are some tips and tricks to defeat it:

When Deviljho gets aggressive, its body swells and its skin goes red. In such a state, the beast exhales breath emissions over wide arcs after performing bite attacks.
Inflict enough damage or deal Paralysis, Stun, or Sleep on Deviljho when it's in its fired-up state. If you do so, it will recoil, counterattack, and eventually topple.
Once Deviljho topples, it will calm down, and its body will be softened. When this happens, aim for its chest to deal as much damage as possible.
Match your weapon's element with elemental attack skills to maximize your damage output.
Use Evade Extender to dodge wide-range breath attacks easily.
Use Partbreaker to destroy the special parts of Deviljho easily.
The Pursuit skill boosts damage after you break parts and activates on special parts. So, prioritize aiming for these breakable parts of the Monster.
