Strategy
Since many of the fumebeak's attacks are toxic, the hunt will go much more smoothly if you're equipped with poison-resistant armor. You might also want to consider something like a repeater crossbow to fire continuously at the bird, because it can cause trouble by taking to the air frequently. Another useful trick is using a bulwark to deflect its spiraling dives, giving you a chance to counter.

How to Beat Fumebeak

Fumebeak Tips
Target its Head Exploit Attack Intervals Utilize the Bulwark and Firework Karakuri Dodge or Slide Forward Wear Anti-Toxin or Poison Recovery Armor

Target Its Head

The softest part on a Fumebeak is its head. A great window to attack it is after it dives or slams into the ground as it tries to recover. With a medium body size, targeting its head can also damage other parts if you're using melee weapons.

Exploit Attack Intervals

After every attack, Fumebeak will have an idle moment giving you a window to land free hits without worrying about getting hit. We highly recommend using jump attacks from crates or the bulwark to maximize this damage opportunity.

Utilize the Bulwark and Firework Karakuri

Never hesitate to setup a bulwark karakuri as this blocks most of its attacks, especially fatal ones. The bulwark karakuri is a perfect counter for a Fumebeak's dive or sweep attacks and has a high chance of staggering them for a generous amount of time.

We also recommend using Firework Karakuri often during the fight to knock the Fumebeak down while it's flying. You can awaken the Firework Karakuri when fighting the Dreadclaw with the Torch Karakuri equipped.

Dodge or Slide Forward

When dodging an attack from the Fumebeak, we highly recommend dodging forward as this allows you to dodge the Fumebeak's follow-up attacks. Sliding also has a considerable invincibility frame, which is best used when the Fumebeak uses an attack that covers a wide area.

Wear Anti-Toxin or Poison Recovery Armor

Although you only gain access to anti-toxin armor after you've defeated your first Fumebeak, it's best to craft these for fights against tougher Fumebeak variants.
