When it comes to engaging in battle in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your entire arsenal of abilities is crucial for securing victory. To truly dominate the battlefield and the beast you're facing, understanding how to mount it is essential. Here's your 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 in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is vital, controlling the battle in every aspect is your ultimate goal. One effective way to achieve this is by mounting the monster itself, which can lead to forcing it into traps, initiating battles with other monsters, and setting up powerful attacks from your allies.

There are several methods to mount a monster, and the success of each largely depends on timing, the amount of damage you deal, the monster's resistance to mount attacks, and the weapons you choose to use. Mounting can be a strategic move for both defeating and capturing monsters, tailored to your specific goals in the game.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest approach is to utilize high cliffs or ledges if the environment allows. Climb to a vantage point higher than the monster. If the monster isn't distracted by your allies, like your Palico or other players, you'll need to do this swiftly before it follows you.

Position yourself on the ledge, wait for the monster to move beneath it, and then leap onto it at the perfect moment. While mounted, use both your knife and weapon to maintain control for as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This method is perfect for those who favor ranged weapons like the Bow. While riding your Seikret, approach the monster and perform a dismount attack. As you dismount, execute an aerial slash toward the monster, which might give you the opportunity to mount it immediately afterward.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Ideal for players wielding melee weapons, especially the Insect Glaive, which excels in aerial combat. The key to making monsters vulnerable to mounting is through continuous aerial attacks. This method blends seamlessly into your combat sequence, making it a natural part of your offensive strategy.
