Monster Hunter Rise tasks players with tracking and defeating an extensive array of monsters, each with its behaviors, strengths, and weaknesses. The Scratching Bird, Kulu-Ya-Ku, is a Bird Wyvern capable of using tools with its front claws and can prove formidable for inexperienced hunters. Make sure to prepare for battle with this unruly bird by studying its mannerisms beforehand.
When fighting this beast, it's good to know what it's weak against and where to hit it for increased damage. Here's Kulu-Ya-Ku's weaknesses, resistances, and drop rates.
All Kulu-Ya-Ku Weaknesses
Kulu-Ya-Ku Elemental Weakness
The Kulu-Ya-Ku's most prominent weakness is its aversion to water. If you don't have a weapon with the water element, fire, thunder, ice, or dragon elements are viable options, as this monster has no elemental resistances.
When using an elemental weapon, be sure to focus your attacks on the Head, Torso, Foreleg, and Tail, as striking here will impact the Kulu-Ya-Ku the most.
| Location Damage | Fire | Water | Thunder | Ice | Dragon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head | 15 | 20 | 15 | 15 | 15 |
| Torso | 15 | 20 | 15 | 15 | 15 |
| Foreleg | 15 | 20 | 15 | 15 | 15 |
| Tail | 15 | 20 | 15 | 15 | 15 |
