Bring Large Dung Pods

Hirabami poses a formidable challenge in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, primarily because they tend to travel in packs. To manage this, you'll want to equip Large Dung Pods. These handy items can disperse the monsters, allowing you to tackle them individually and make the fight more manageable.

Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo

One of the tricky aspects of fighting Hirabami is their tendency to hover in the air. Ranged weapon users like those wielding Bows won't have issues, but melee fighters may find it frustrating. To bring them down to your level, use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo. If you're out of this ammo, aim to sever Hirabami's tail; it will drop a Tail Claw Shard, which you can convert into the necessary ammo.

Utilize Environmental Traps

The Hirabami's battleground, Iceshard Cliffs, is littered with environmental traps you can use to your advantage. You'll find Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars. Dropping these on Hirabami can stun and inflict significant damage, giving you the upper hand in combat.

Aim for the Head

Targeting Hirabami's head is your best bet for dealing damage, though it's often out of reach due to their aerial antics. Ranged weapon users will find it easier to hit this weak spot, while melee fighters should aim for the neck when the creature descends. Avoid hitting the torso as it's heavily armored.

Watch the Tail

Hirabami's unpredictable movements make them a tricky opponent. They'll attempt to bite, spit, or dive-bomb you from the air. Keep an eye on their head to anticipate these moves. However, don't forget about their tail, which they use as a powerful hammer. Constant movement and vigilance are key to avoiding these attacks.

How to Capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds

To capture Hirabami, you'll need to reduce its health to 20% or less, indicated by a skull icon next to its icon on the mini-map. Once you've reached this point, set up a Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap. With the monster ensnared, quickly use a Tranquilizer to knock it out. You have only a brief window to do this before the creature escapes. Successfully capturing Hirabami will end the fight and grant you the standard rewards, though it may limit your chances of obtaining additional materials from breaking its weak spots.

That's all you need to know to conquer and capture Hirabami in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Remember to bring Large Dung Pods or use the SOS feature to ease the battle. *Monster Hunter Wilds* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
