Bring Large Dung Pods

Hirabami, a formidable foe in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, often travels in packs, significantly increasing the difficulty. Large Dung Pods are your best friend here; their ability to disperse the group allows you to focus on defeating them one by one, making the battle significantly more manageable.

Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo

Hirabami's aerial prowess can make it a frustrating target for melee weapons. Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo provides a solution, allowing you to knock them out of the sky. If you're low on ammo, severing Hirabami's tail yields a Tail Claw Shard, which can be crafted into more ammo.

Utilize Environmental Traps

The Iceshard Cliffs arena offers environmental hazards to your advantage. Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars can be strategically triggered to stun and damage Hirabami, creating crucial openings for attacks.

Aim for the Head

The head remains the most effective target, but Hirabami's airborne nature presents a challenge. Ranged weapons have a clear advantage, while melee users should focus on attacking the neck during moments when the creature descends. The torso offers significantly less damage due to its high defense.

Watch the Tail

Hirabami's unpredictable attacks, including biting, spitting, and powerful dive attacks, require constant vigilance. While dodging these attacks, be mindful of its tail, which it uses as a devastating hammer. Maintain mobility while keeping a close eye on its movements.

How to Capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds

To capture Hirabami, reduce its health to 20% or less (indicated by a skull icon on the mini-map). Quickly set up a Pitfall Trap or Shock Trap, then swiftly use a Tranquilizer to subdue it. Time is of the essence; failure to tranquilize it promptly will result in its escape. While capturing offers a guaranteed reward, it reduces the chance of obtaining extra materials from hitting weak points.
