Bring Large Dung Pods

Hirabami presents a formidable challenge in Monster Hunter Wilds, often appearing in groups rather than alone. To manage this, equip yourself with Large Dung Pods. These invaluable items can disperse the monsters, enabling you to tackle them one at a time, significantly simplifying the battle.

Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo

Hirabami's tendency to take to the skies can be frustrating, particularly for melee weapon users. If you're using a ranged weapon like a Bow, you're in luck. However, for those wielding melee weapons, Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo is your solution. This ammo, fired from your Slinger, can bring Hirabami down to earth. 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 needed ammo.

Utilize Environmental Traps

The Hirabami's battlefield in the Iceshard Cliffs is dotted with environmental traps such as Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars. Dropping these on Hirabami can both stun and deal significant damage to the monster, providing you with a crucial advantage in the fight.

Aim for the Head

Targeting Hirabami's head is your best strategy for dealing maximum damage. This can be tricky since Hirabami prefers to hover. Ranged weapon users will find it easier to hit this spot, while melee fighters should aim for the neck when Hirabami descends. Avoid targeting the torso, as it's heavily armored and less effective.

Watch the Tail

Hirabami's unpredictable movements add to the challenge. It frequently tries to bite or spit at you and may execute a high dive attack. Keep an eye on its head to anticipate these moves and dodge accordingly. However, don't overlook its tail, which Hirabami uses like a hammer to deliver crushing blows. 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. A skull icon next to the monster's icon on the mini-map signals when you've reached this threshold. At this point, quickly set up either a Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap. Once Hirabami is ensnared, swiftly use a Tranquilizer to knock it out. Timing is critical; if you fail, Hirabami will break free. Successfully capturing the monster ends the fight and secures the standard reward, though it reduces the chances of obtaining additional materials from its weak spots.
