Hirabami Encounter Details:

  • Known Habitats: Iceshard Cliffs
  • Breakable Parts: Head and Tail
  • Recommended Elemental Attack: Fire
  • Effective Status Effects: Poison (3x), Sleep (3x), Paralysis (2x), Blastblight (2x), Stun (2x), Exhaust (2x)
  • Effective Items: Pitfall Trap, Shock Trap, Flash Pod

Strategies for Defeating Hirabami:

  • Utilize Large Dung Pods: Hirabami travel in packs. Large Dung Pods effectively disperse them, allowing for individual takedowns.

  • Employ Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo: Hirabami's aerial mobility poses a challenge for melee fighters. Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo, or a severed tail (yielding Tail Claw Shards, which craft into the ammo), brings them down.

  • Leverage Environmental Traps: The Iceshard Cliffs arena offers Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars. Dropping these on Hirabami stuns and inflicts damage.

  • Target the Head: Prioritize head attacks for maximum damage. Ranged weapons have an advantage; melee users should aim for the neck when Hirabami descends. The torso boasts high defense.

  • Beware the Tail: Hirabami employs biting, spitting, and diving attacks. While its head movements indicate these, be cautious of its tail swipe. Maintain mobility while keeping its attacks in sight.

Capturing Hirabami:

To capture Hirabami, reduce its health to 20% or less (indicated by a skull icon on the minimap). Quickly set a Pitfall or Shock Trap and utilize a Tranquilizer. Time is critical; failure results in escape. Capture ends the fight, granting rewards but potentially reducing extra material drops from weak point hits.

Additional Tips:

Bring Large Dung Pods or utilize the SOS feature for assistance.

Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
