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.

Kulu-Ya-Ku Location Weakness

If you are not wielding an elemental weapon, you want to attack places where you deal extra damage. These places on a monster differentiate depending on the weapon type you use—Cutting, Impact, or Shot.

• If using a cutting weapon focus on the head and tail.
• If using a blunt weapon focus on the head/break and the forelegs.
• If using a bow weapon focus on shooting the head and the forelegs.

Kulu-Ya-Ku Resistances and Ailments

The Kulu-Ya-Ku boasts several ailment resistances, but Blast, Stun, and Waterblight ailments can injure this Bird Wyvern. If you've got fast attacking weapons like Dual Blades with these elements infused, they should make short work of your prey.

Kulu-Ya-Ku Drop Rates - Carves, Capturing & Breaking

Depending on your quest, you can get different rewards to forge armor and weapons, but each has a drop rate percentage, ultimately RNG. It is pure luck what you receive.

• There are multiple ways of gaining items
  • You can carving three times once the monster is dead.
  • You can capture the monster instead of killing it.
    • Or carving the broken appendage of said monster.
  • From looting the drops from the monster
  • After successfully compleing your quest

Most monsters have breakable parts, and Kulu-Ya-Ku is no different. Aim for the Head and Foreleg of the Kulu-Ya-Ku repeatedly to knock pieces of the beast off. If you can break pieces off of your prey during the hunt, you will earn extra rewards after completing the quest.
