Strategy
The Pearlbeak emits dazzling beams of light to blind and disorientate, but if you can block the light somehow, you won't lose your vision. Try to predict the Kemono's moves and hide in the shadow of a natural obstacle or conjure a bulwark or other Karakuri to protect yourself. After the blinding light, the Pearlbeak briefly leaves itself wide open to attack. If you manage to avoid being blinded, that's your chance to strike.

How to Beat Pearlbeak

Pearlbeak Tips
Target its Head Exploit Attack Intervals Use the Bulwark, Pounder, and Firework Karakuri Dodge or Slide Forward Wear Water Resistant Armor

Target Its Head

The softest part on a Pearlbeak 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, Pearlbeak 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.

Use the Bulwark, Pounder, and Firework Karakuri

Three must-have Karakuri in this hunt are the Bulwark, Pounder, and Firework Karakuri.

• With Pearlbeak's numerous diving attacks, the Bulwark Karakuri is best used to counter these attacks and leave it open for extended combos.
• The Pounder Karakuri provides additional Pummel damage when used throughout the fight.
• The Firework Karakuri can knock the Pearlbeak out of the air while it flies, providing hunters with a long opening for easy damage.

Dodge or Slide Forward

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

Wear Water Resistant Armor

Wearing water resistant armor is of great help in this fight, as some of Pearlbeak's water-based attacks are hard to predict or react to.
