Bring Large Dung Pods
The Hirabami's tendency to hunt in packs significantly increases the difficulty. Your best bet is to bring Large Dung Pods to disperse them, allowing you to focus on one at a time.
Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo
Their aerial prowess makes them a challenge for melee fighters. Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo is your solution. If you're short on ammo, severing the Hirabami's tail yields a Tail Claw Shard, which can be crafted into this crucial ammo.
Utilize Environmental Traps
The Iceshard Cliffs arena offers environmental advantages. Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars can be strategically deployed to stun and damage the Hirabami. Aim for the head for maximum impact.
Aim for the Head
The Hirabami's head is its weakest point. Ranged weapons have an advantage, but melee users should target the neck when the creature descends. Avoid the highly-defended torso.
Watch the Tail
The Hirabami utilizes unpredictable attacks: biting, spitting, and a devastating dive attack. While staying mobile is key, be mindful of its powerful tail swipe.
How to Capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds
To capture a Hirabami, reduce its health to 20% or less (indicated by a skull icon on the mini-map). Set a Pitfall Trap or Shock Trap, then quickly use a Tranquilizer before it escapes. Capture guarantees a reward but reduces the chance of obtaining extra materials from weak point hits.
Remember to utilize Large Dung Pods or the SOS feature for assistance. Good luck hunting!
