Bring Large Dung Pods
Hirabami pose a formidable challenge in Monster Hunter Wilds, primarily because they prefer to hunt in packs. To manage this, equip yourself with Large Dung Pods. These invaluable tools can scatter the group, allowing you to tackle them individually and increase your chances of success.
Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo
Hirabami's tendency to hover in the air can be particularly frustrating, especially for melee weapon users. To ground them, 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 you can convert into the necessary ammo.
Utilize Environmental Traps
The Iceshard Cliffs, where Hirabami reside, 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, giving you a crucial advantage in battle.
Aim for the Head
The head is Hirabami's most vulnerable spot, though reaching it can be tricky 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 make them a challenging foe. They often resort to biting, spitting, and executing dive attacks from above. Keep an eye on their head to anticipate these moves. Additionally, be cautious of their tail, which they swing like a hammer, capable of delivering devastating blows.

How to Capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds
To capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds, you must first reduce its health to 20% or less, indicated by a skull icon next to its symbol on the mini-map. Once at this threshold, deploy a Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap to immobilize the creature. Swiftly follow up with a Tranquilizer to knock it out. Timing is critical here; a failed attempt will allow Hirabami to escape. Successfully capturing the monster will conclude the fight, granting you standard rewards, though it may limit your access to additional materials from breaking its weak spots.
That's all you need to know about defeating and capturing Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds. Remember to bring Large Dung Pods or use the SOS feature to ease the battle.
