Mounting Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds

In the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your arsenal of abilities is crucial for triumphing over the formidable beasts you encounter. A key strategy to dominate the battlefield and control your prey is by learning how to mount monsters. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to mount in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

How To Mount a Monster in Monster Hunter Wilds

While equipping the best weapons and gear is essential, mastering the art of controlling the battle is paramount. Mounting a monster allows you to steer it into traps, engage it in combat with other monsters, and set up devastating attacks from your allies.

Mounting a monster involves several methods, each requiring precise timing, sufficient damage, consideration of the monster's resistance to mounting, and the choice of your weapon. Mounting can be a strategic move for both defeating and capturing monsters, depending on your goals.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method is to utilize the environment by climbing to a higher cliff or ledge if available. Quickly ascend to your chosen vantage point, especially if the monster is distracted by your allies, such as your Palico or other players.

Position yourself above the monster and wait for it to move beneath the ledge. At the perfect moment, leap onto the monster, using your knife and weapon attacks to maintain control as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique is perfect for players favoring ranged weapons like the Bow. While riding your Seikret, approach the monster and execute a dismount attack. As you leap off your Seikret, perform an aerial slash towards the monster, which may give you the opportunity to mount it immediately after.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Ideal for melee weapon users, especially those wielding the Insect Glaive, which excels in aerial combat. By consistently executing air-based attacks, you can naturally create opportunities to mount the monster during your combat sequence.
