Bring Large Dung Pods

Facing the Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds can be a daunting task, especially since they prefer to attack in groups. To manage this, equip yourself with Large Dung Pods. These handy items can disperse the Hirabami, allowing you to tackle them one at a time, significantly simplifying the battle.

Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo

Hirabami's tendency to float in the air poses a unique challenge, particularly for melee weapon users. If you're wielding a ranged weapon like a Bow, you're in luck. For others, using Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo can ground these airborne threats. If you're out of ammo, aim to sever Hirabami's tail; it drops a Tail Claw Shard, which you can convert into the needed ammo.

Utilize Environmental Traps

The Iceshard Cliffs, where Hirabami resides, are filled with environmental traps such as Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars. Strategically triggering these traps can stun and damage Hirabami, providing you with crucial openings to attack.

Aim for the Head

The head is Hirabami's most vulnerable spot. However, reaching it can be tricky due to their aerial habits. Ranged weapon users have a clear advantage here, while those with melee weapons should focus on the neck when the monster descends. Avoid targeting the torso, as it's heavily armored.

Watch the Tail

Hirabami's unpredictable attacks include biting, spitting, and diving from the sky. Dodging these is manageable if you keep an eye on their head movements. Yet, don't overlook the tail, which they use like a hammer to crush you. Staying mobile and vigilant is key.

How to Capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds requires reducing its health to 20% or less, signaled by a skull icon on your mini-map. Once you reach this point, set up a Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap. With the monster ensnared, quickly administer a Tranquilizer to knock it out. Timing is critical here; failure means Hirabami escapes. Successfully capturing the monster ends the fight and secures your reward, though it limits your chances of obtaining additional materials from breaking weak spots.
