Baa-Ram-You
The first monster that Capcom showed us for Monster Hunter World Iceborne was the Banbaro - a stag-like wyvern that is generally quite peaceful. However, if you cross it, it will use its antlers to scoop up boulders and trees to charge at you relentlessly. Banbaro can therefore be a bit of a handful to hunt if you’re going in unprepared.

Monster Hunter World Iceborne Banbaro guide contents
Those new to hunting monsters, or if you just need to find a particular monster guide to get up to Hunter Rank 16 - needed to start the Iceborne expansion - should head over to ourMonster Hunter World guidehub for a plethora of guides. Once you’re ready to begin the expansion, you’ll find a few hunters gathered near the gate in Astera.
Banbaro weaknesses and resistances
Banbaro’s antlers, face, and feet are the designated weak points.The tail is severable, but is not one of its weak points. While all weapon types are reasonably effective against the Banbaro,bringing in blunt weapons such as the Hammercan make breaking its horns a little easier thanks to their increased vulnerability.
The Banbaro doesn’t have any ailment resistances, but it’s particularly vulnerable to blast and stun effects. While using fire against it is good,it’s main elemental weakness is actually Dragon. Since it uses a lot of ice and water based attacks, having armour with those resistances is highly advised. Don’t bring water or ice weapons though, as they’ll be next to useless.
How to hunt Banbaro
Fighting the Banbaro is mostly about dodging its many dangerous charge attacks, then running in to attack it while it’s recovering. As long as you’ve eaten, or otherwise increased your maximum health with items, none of the Banbaro’s attacks will kill you instantly.
How to avoid Banbaro’s charge
While the boulder variant is easy to dodge, try to lure Banbaro away from any trees if possible.Should the Banbaro charge into a tree, it will immediately unearth said tree and use it as a battering ram.This attack hurts a lot and can be tricky to avoid if you’re not already running to the side.
After it charges, it may stand there panting for a short time. This is when you should close the distance and attack. You can use the Clutch Claw to close the distance or target a specific body part if needed. If you’re a short distance away, say a couple of seconds of sprinting to reach its legs, it can also slam its horns into the ground to pick up a boulder to flick in your direction. Stay vigilant whenever you’re approaching from a distance, as this can come out of nowhere.
There are a few other things to watch out for in this fight, so here are a few more tips:
