Tips

1. Kulu-Ya-Ku can throw eggs or large stones at you. It can also use the stones to protect itself from the hunter, so avoid this by attacking its sides or using a ranged weapon. If your attacks cause the monster to falter, it will drop the held object, which will then break;
2. Using a flash bomb on the monster will blind it and make it drop the object it is holding, which will sometimes confuse the beast and expose it to your attacks;
3. When the monster is on the ground, focus on attacking its head as it's the weakest point on its body. Once Kulu-Ya-Ku is knocked down, it won't be able to use its powerful beak attacks;
4. Kulu-Ya-Ku can perform a jump attack, but once it lands, it will need some time to regain its balance. Use this moment to deliver a few well-aimed hits.
