Bring Large Dung Pods

Hirabami presents a formidable challenge in Monster Hunter Wilds. Unlike many monsters that prefer solitude, Hirabami thrives in groups, complicating the battle. To manage this, equip yourself with Large Dung Pods. These invaluable tools can disperse the monsters, allowing you to tackle them individually and increase your chances of success.

Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo

Hirabami's tendency to float in the air can be particularly frustrating, especially for melee weapon users. Ranged weapon users, such as those wielding Bows, will find it easier to engage. For melee fighters, Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo is crucial. This ammo, fired from your Slinger, can bring Hirabami down to earth. If you're out of ammo, aim to sever its tail; it will drop a Tail Claw Shard, which can be converted into the necessary ammo.

Utilize Environmental Traps

The Iceshard Cliffs, Hirabami's battleground, are dotted with environmental traps that can turn the tide of battle in your favor. You'll encounter Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars. Dropping one of these on Hirabami can stun and inflict significant damage, providing a critical advantage.

Aim for the Head

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

Watch the Tail

Hirabami's unpredictable movements make it a challenging foe. It frequently attempts to bite or spit at you, and its dive attacks from high altitudes can be devastating. Keep an eye on its head to anticipate these moves and dodge effectively. Additionally, be cautious of its tail, which it uses like a hammer to deliver crushing blows.

To capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds, you must first reduce its health to 20% or less. A skull icon will appear next to the monster icon on your mini-map, signaling that it's time to set a trap. Use either a Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap to immobilize Hirabami. Once trapped, swiftly administer a Tranquilizer to knock it out. You have only a brief window to act, so be quick; failure means the monster will escape. Capturing Hirabami ends the fight and grants you the standard rewards, though it may reduce your chances of obtaining additional materials from breaking its weak spots.

That's all you need to know about defeating and capturing Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds. Don't forget to bring Large Dung Pods or use the SOS feature to make the battle more manageable.
