Hirabami Habitat and Weaknesses:

• Habitat: Iceshard Cliffs
• Breakable Parts: Head and Tail
• Elemental Weakness: Fire
• Effective Status Effects: Poison (3x), Sleep (3x), Paralysis (2x), Blastblight (2x), Stun (2x), Exhaust (2x)
• Effective Items: Pitfall Trap, Shock Trap, Flash Pod

Strategies for Defeating Hirabami:

• Disperse with Dung Pods: The Hirabami's tendency to travel in packs makes Large Dung Pods invaluable. Use them to separate the creatures, allowing for more manageable one-on-one battles.

• Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger Ammo: Their aerial mobility poses a challenge for melee fighters. Utilize Heavy Slicing Pod Slinger ammo to knock them down. Alternatively, severing the tail yields a Tail Claw Shard, which can be crafted into this crucial ammo.

• Environmental Traps: The Iceshard Cliffs arena offers environmental hazards – Ice Spikes, Floating Rubble, and Brittle Ice Pillars – that can be strategically deployed to stun and damage the Hirabami.

• Target the Head: Prioritize attacks to the head, its most vulnerable point. Ranged weapons have a clear advantage here, while melee users should capitalize on opportunities when the Hirabami descends. Avoid the highly-defended torso.

• Tail Awareness: Be mindful of the Hirabami's tail, which it uses as a powerful weapon. Maintain awareness of its movements to evade its attacks.

Capturing Hirabami:

To capture a Hirabami, reduce its health to 20% or less (indicated by a skull icon on the minimap). Quickly set a Pitfall or Shock Trap, then swiftly administer a Tranquilizer. Time is critical; failure results in the Hirabami escaping. While capturing provides rewards, it reduces the chance of obtaining extra materials from weak point hits.

Conclusion:

Overcoming the Hirabami requires strategic preparation and execution. Remember to utilize Large Dung Pods, exploit environmental traps, and focus attacks on the head. Knowing when and how to capture can also streamline the process. Good luck hunting!
