Bring Large Dung Pods
The Hirabami in *Monster Hunter Wilds* present a unique challenge: they're rarely alone. This pack mentality makes them significantly tougher than solo hunts. Your best bet? Large Dung Pods. These will scatter the creatures, allowing you to tackle them one at a time, a much more manageable approach.
Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo
Hirabami's aerial antics can be frustrating, especially for melee weapon users. Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo is your answer. These piercing shots will bring them down from their airborne assaults. If you're low on ammo, severing the Hirabami's tail yields a Tail Claw Shard, which can be crafted into more ammo.
Utilize Environmental Traps
The Iceshard Cliffs arena isn't just a pretty backdrop; it's a battlefield with built-in advantages. Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars can be strategically triggered to stun and damage the Hirabami, turning the environment against your foe.
Aim for the Head
The Hirabami's head remains its most vulnerable point. While ranged weapons have a clear advantage, melee users should focus on attacking the neck during the moments the creature descends to the ground. The torso, with its higher defense, is less effective to target.
Watch the Tail
The Hirabami's attacks are varied and unpredictable. While dodging its bites, spits, and diving attacks requires attention to its head movements, don't underestimate the power of its tail. It uses it as a devastating hammer, so keep a watchful eye.

How to Capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds
-----------------------------------------------
To capture a Hirabami, reduce its health to 20 percent or less (indicated by a skull icon on the minimap). Then, swiftly set a Pitfall Trap or Shock Trap. Once trapped, quickly use a Tranquilizer to subdue it. Time is of the essence; failure means the Hirabami escapes. While capturing offers a guaranteed reward, it does reduce your chances of obtaining extra materials from weak point hits.
Conquering and capturing Hirabami in *Monster Hunter Wilds* requires a blend of strategic item use and careful observation. Don't hesitate to use Large Dung Pods or the SOS feature for assistance. Good luck, hunter!
