How to Beat Hirabami

Hirabami Monster Fight Tips




Separate Hirabami With Large Dung Pods

Hirabami Pack

Hirabamis come as a pack, which makes them difficult to take down. You can even the odds by dispersing the group using Large Dung Pods so you can defeat them one by one.

List of Slinger Ammo

Bring Hirabami Down With Heavy Slicing Pods

Breaking Hirabami's tail drops Tail Claw Shard. Picking this up will give you Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo, which allows you to take down Hirabami from the air using your Slinger.

How to Use the Slinger

Knock the Hirabami Down With Flash Pods

Alternatively, you can use Flash Pods and similar effects on the Hirabami not only to blind it, but also to knock it out of the air when it is hovering. Blinding it mid-air will cause it to fall, allowing for a window of opportunity.

Avoid the Hirabami's Ice Projectiles

The Hirabami's ice projectiles that it spits can also freeze the Hunter in place, making them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. Try to dodge or block these projectiles when able. If frozen, use a Cleanser immediately, or spam movement commands in order to break free from the ice.

Then, if the situation allows, use a Focus Strike on the Hirabami's mouth, as the mouth turns into a weakspot briefly after it fires its projectiles.

How to Use Focus Mode and Focus Strike

Utilize Environmental Traps

Iceshard Cliffs has Ice Spikes, Brittle Ice Pillars, and Floating Rubble traps you can use against Hirabami. Activate them nearby Hirabami using your Slinger to deal heavy damage against them!

How to Set and Activate Traps

Hirabami Attack Patterns

Moveset and Openings

Attack Description
Swiping Bites
When you see Hirabami floating in a prone position, it could attempt to bite you, swiping its head left-to-right with each bite. If you're in the way of this attack, dodge in the direction opposite of where it's swiping (ex. dodge to the left if it's swiping towards your right).
Projectile Spit
Hirabami can spit one-to-two projectiles at you at a time, signified by it rearing its head back to prepare for the spit. Dodge or run sideways from each spit once you see it rear up to do so.
Side Roll
When angered, Hirabami can initiate a sideways-roll towards you. Watch out for this attack when it's on the ground and it starts to coil its body inward like an accordion. If you're near its ends, dodge away adjacent of the attack. If you're in in the mid section of the monster, dodge outwards, away from the roll.
Tail Smash and Swipe
While in an angered state, Hiramabi can smash its tail down on you then swipe it sideways. You'll know it's about to do this attack when it positions its tail above you before attacking. Dodge sideways from the smash before dodging inwards or outwards from the swipe.
Dive Attack
When angered, Hirabami can do a dive attack towards you, twirling like a blade while diving. Watch out when it does a loop in the air as it will proceed to quickly dive down towards you afterwards. Start running sideways once you see it do the loop, and dodge away once Hirabami dives.
Spin Smash
While angered, Hirabami can spin very quickly in the air before smashing down. This attack has quite the reach, so it's important you run or dodge away from it once you see it start spinning in the air.
