Bring Large Dung Pods

In Monster Hunter Wilds, Hirabami stand out as a challenging boss due to their preference for group dynamics. To handle these pack hunters effectively, equip yourself with Large Dung Pods. These tools will scatter the Hirabami, allowing you to tackle them individually and manage the fight more strategically.

Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo

Hirabami's penchant for aerial maneuvers can be frustrating, especially for melee combatants. Ranged weapon users, particularly those wielding a Bow, can handle this with ease. However, for those using melee weapons, Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo is your key to grounding these creatures. If you're out of ammo, target Hirabami's tail to obtain a Tail Claw Shard, which can be converted into the needed ammo.

Utilize Environmental Traps

The Iceshard Cliffs arena where you'll fight Hirabami is littered with environmental traps like Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars. Strategically using these can stun and inflict significant damage on Hirabami, turning the environment to your advantage.

Aim for the Head

The head is Hirabami's most vulnerable spot, though reaching it can be tricky due to their airborne nature. Ranged attackers should focus their shots here, while melee fighters should strike at the neck when the creature descends. Avoid the torso, as it's heavily armored and less effective to target.

Watch the Tail

Hirabami's unpredictable movements make them a tricky foe. They'll attempt to bite, spit, or dive-bomb you from the sky. Keep an eye on their head to anticipate these attacks. However, don't neglect their tail; it swings like a hammer and can deliver devastating blows if you're not careful.
