Hirabami's tendency to hunt in packs significantly increases the difficulty. The most effective initial strategy involves using Large Dung Pods to disperse the group, allowing for a more manageable one-on-one encounter.

Utilizing Ranged and Melee Tactics

Hirabami's aerial maneuvers pose a challenge for melee fighters. Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo proves invaluable in bringing them down. Alternatively, severing the tail yields a Tail Claw Shard, which can be crafted into this crucial ammo type.

Exploiting Environmental Hazards

The Iceshard Cliffs arena offers strategic advantages. Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars can be triggered to stun and damage Hirabami, creating crucial openings for attacks.

Prioritizing Attack Locations

The head remains the primary target, although Hirabami's aerial movements make this challenging for melee weapons. Focus on the neck when the creature descends. The torso's high defense renders it a less effective target.

Recognizing and Avoiding Attacks

Hirabami employs diverse attacks, including biting, spitting, and a devastating dive attack. Staying mobile and attentive to its head movements allows for effective dodging. However, beware of its powerful tail swipe.

How to Capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Hirabami requires reducing its health to 20% or less, indicated by a skull icon on the minimap. Deploy either a Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap, followed by a swift Tranquilizer injection. Time is critical; failure results in the creature escaping. While capturing provides rewards, it limits the acquisition of materials from weak point hits.

In summary, effective Hirabami hunting involves strategic use of Large Dung Pods, appropriate ammo, environmental traps, and careful observation of its attack patterns. The SOS feature can also provide valuable assistance.
