Bring Large Dung Pods

Facing Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds presents a unique challenge due to their tendency to hunt in packs. To manage this, arming yourself with Large Dung Pods is crucial. These will help you scatter the group, allowing you to engage them in more manageable, one-on-one battles.

Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo

Hirabami's penchant for aerial maneuvers can be particularly frustrating for melee combatants. If you're wielding a ranged weapon like a Bow, you're in luck. For those with melee weapons, consider using Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo to ground these flying foes. If you're out of ammo, aim to sever Hirabami's tail; it will drop a Tail Claw Shard, which you can convert into the necessary ammo.

Utilize Environmental Traps

The Iceshard Cliffs where Hirabami roams are littered with environmental traps such as Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars. Strategically using these can stun and inflict significant damage on Hirabami, turning the tide of battle in your favor.

Aim for the Head

The head is Hirabami's most vulnerable spot, but reaching it can be tricky due to their aerial habits. Ranged attackers have a clear advantage here, while melee fighters should target the neck when the creature descends. Avoid the torso, as it's heavily armored and less effective to hit.

Watch the Tail

Hirabami's unpredictable movements include biting, spitting, and dive-bombing from the sky. Keep an eye on their head to anticipate these attacks. However, don't neglect the tail, which they use as a powerful hammer. Staying mobile and vigilant is key to avoiding these devastating strikes.

How to Capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Hirabami requires reducing its health to 20% or less, signaled by a skull icon next to its mini-map icon. Once at this threshold, deploy a Pitfall Trap or Shock Trap to immobilize the beast. Swiftly follow up with a Tranquilizer to knock it out before it can escape. Successfully capturing Hirabami will conclude the fight, granting you standard rewards, though it may limit your chances of obtaining additional materials from breaking its weak spots.
