Bring Large Dung Pods

Facing the Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds can be daunting due to their preference for group combat. Unlike many other monsters that roam solo, Hirabami thrive in numbers, which complicates the battle. To manage this, equip yourself with Large Dung Pods. These will help scatter the group, enabling you to tackle them individually and increase your chances of success.

Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo

Hirabami's aerial maneuvers add another layer of difficulty, particularly for melee weapon users. Ranged weapon wielders like Bow users will have less trouble, but for those with melee weapons, bringing Hirabami down to earth is crucial. Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo, fired from your Slinger, can achieve this. If you're out of ammo, aim to sever Hirabami's tail to obtain a Tail Claw Shard, which can be converted into the necessary ammo.

Utilize Environmental Traps

The Iceshard Cliffs where Hirabami roams are equipped with environmental traps that can turn the tide of battle in your favor. Look out for Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars. Triggering these traps on Hirabami can stun and inflict significant damage, providing a strategic advantage.

Aim for the Head

The head is Hirabami's most vulnerable spot, but its tendency to float makes it a challenging target. Ranged attackers will find it easier to hit this weak point, whereas melee fighters should aim for the neck when the monster descends. Avoid targeting the torso as it's heavily armored and less effective.

Watch the Tail

Hirabami's unpredictable movements make it a tricky adversary. It frequently attempts to bite or spit at you and may perform a high-altitude dive attack. Keep an eye on its head to dodge these attacks effectively. Additionally, be cautious of its tail, which it uses as a hammer to deliver crushing blows.
