Bring Large Dung Pods

Facing Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds can be daunting due to their preference for group combat. To manage this, equip yourself with Large Dung Pods. These invaluable tools can scatter the monsters, allowing you to tackle them individually and reduce the chaos of the battle.

Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo

Hirabami's tendency to take to the skies can be particularly frustrating for melee fighters. To ground these aerial adversaries, utilize Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo. If you're out of ammo, aim to sever Hirabami's tail; it will drop a Tail Claw Shard, which can be converted into the necessary ammo.

Utilize Environmental Traps

The Iceshard Cliffs where Hirabami roams are littered with environmental traps such as Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars. Strategically using these can stun and inflict significant damage on Hirabami, turning the tide of battle in your favor.

Aim for the Head

The head is Hirabami's most vulnerable spot, though reaching it can be challenging due to their aerial habits. Ranged weapon users have a clear advantage here, while melee fighters should target the neck when the creature descends. Avoid the torso, as it's heavily armored.

Watch the Tail

Hirabami's unpredictable movements include biting, spitting, and dive-bombing from above. While these attacks are dodgeable by watching the head, don't overlook the tail. It can swing like a hammer, posing a significant threat if you're not vigilant.
