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

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.

Pearlbeak Attacks and Moves

Name Description
Wing Swipe A quick attack used by Pearlbeak to send unsuspecting hunters away from its head and body.
Spinning Top A relentless attack that is nearly impossible to avoid.
Charging Attacks A Pearlbeak's set of attacks that are extremely fatal for inexperienced hunters.
Water-based Attacks Pearlbeak's signature attacks with its water attribute that can prove deadly to unprepared hunters.
Enraged State Attacks A Pearlbeak's enraged state comes with unique and more dangerous attack patterns that make the fight harder as it nears an end.

Wing Swipe

Wing Swipe Attack Information
Wing Swipe: Pearlbeak uses its wing to swipe an area in front of it, knocking back any hunter unable to dodge. Avoid this attack by dodging forward.

Spinning Top

Spinning Top Attack Information
Spinning Top: Pearlbeak will wind up in the air for a time then proceed to land while spinning its wings for a long duration. This attack follows a targeted hunter and is impossible to dodge.

To counter this attack, set a bulwark and hide behind it as the Pearlbeak winds up in the air.

Charging Attacks

Charging Attack Variations
Running Body Slam: Pearlbeak will charge at the targeted hunter's position and slam its body on the area. Avoid this by dodging forward or sideways.
Flying Sweep: From a flying state, the Pearlbeak will do a backflip then sweep towards a targeted hunter. This attack ends with a body slam that damages a wider area.

You can avoid this attack by dodging forward, or counter it by setting a bulwark karakuri as the Pearlbeak does its backflip.
Lunging Grab Attack: Pearlbeak will cover its chest with its wings, then proceed to lunge at a targeted hunter. If the Pearlbeak manages to grab a hunter, it will spit toxins two times then throw the hunter away.

Always avoid this attack by dodging sideways as dodging forward is a risky move against this attack. Keep in mind that bulwark karakuris do not block this attack.

Water-Based Attacks

Water-Based Attack Information
Water Throw: Pearlbeak's attack similar to its Wing Swipe but throws toxins at a targeted hunter from a distance. Avoid this attack by dodging forward if you're in range of the Wing Swipe, and dodge sideways if you're targeted from a distance.
Water Spit: From a flying state, Pearlbeak will spit a barrage of toxins at a targeted hunter's direction. You can avoid this by dodging forward and taking position directly under the Pearlbeak, or counter this by setting a bulwark to block the water.
Charged Water Spit: From a flying state, Pearlbeak will charge toxins then spit it on a targeted hunter. The toxin projectile travels faster and is fatal on direct hits.

You can avoid this by taking position under Pearlbeak or counter it by setting a bulwark to block the projectile.
Water Fountain: Pearlbeak will stomp on the ground, conjuring a water fountain under a targeted hunter. Avoid this attack by sliding as soon as you see water form under you.
Water Cyclone: Pearlbeak will conjure a water cyclone then flap both its wings to send the cyclone towards a targeted hunter. Avoid this attack by dodging through the cyclone.
Jumping Water Swipe: Pearlbeak jumps high in the air and lands to another position while spinning its wings with water. Avoid this attack by dodging as soon as Pearlbeak lands

Enraged State Attacks

Attack Information
Water Bubble: As Pearlbeak enters its enraged state, it will cover itself with a water bubble to disorient hunters exploiting its transformation time.
Spiral Sweep: While airborne, Pearlbeak will wind up its left wing then proceed to sweep at a targeted hunter's direction twice. This attack has a wider area of effect and is fatal on direct hits.

Avoid this attack by sliding sideways, or counter it by setting a bulwark karakuri.
