Bring Large Dung Pods
Hirabami, a formidable foe in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, often hunts in packs, significantly increasing the difficulty. Large Dung Pods are your best friend here, dispersing the group and allowing you to tackle them one by one.
Use Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo
Hirabami's aerial prowess can frustrate melee users. Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo is invaluable for bringing them down from the skies. If you're short on ammo, severing the Hirabami's tail yields a Tail Claw Shard, which can be crafted into this crucial ammo type.
Utilize Environmental Traps
The Iceshard Cliffs arena offers several environmental hazards to your advantage. Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars can be strategically triggered to stun and damage the Hirabami, creating crucial openings.
Aim for the Head
The head remains the most effective target, though Hirabami's aerial habits make it challenging for melee fighters. Focus on the neck when it descends, avoiding the highly-defended torso.
Watch the Tail
Hirabami's attacks are varied and unpredictable—bites, spitting attacks, and powerful dive attacks. While dodging these is crucial, be mindful of its tail, which it uses as a devastating hammer.
Maintain mobility when targeted, but always be aware of the tail's sweeping attacks.

How to Capture Hirabami in Monster Hunter Wilds
To capture Hirabami, reduce its health to 20% or less (indicated by a skull icon on the minimap). Quickly set a Pitfall Trap or Shock Trap, then swiftly use a Tranquilizer before it escapes. Success yields rewards, though fewer materials compared to defeating it outright.
This comprehensive guide covers defeating and capturing Hirabami in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Remember to utilize Large Dung Pods or the SOS flare for assistance.
