Mounting Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds: Expert Tips

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

Equipping yourself with the best weapons and gear is essential, but truly mastering the art of battle involves taking control in every possible way. 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.

There are several methods to mount a monster, each requiring precise timing, sufficient damage, consideration of the monster's resistance to mounting, and the choice of your weapon. Mounting can be a game-changer, whether your goal is to defeat or capture the beast.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest approach is to utilize the environment by climbing to a higher cliff or ledge if available. Quickly ascend to your 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 those who favor 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 transition into a mounting opportunity, making this method seamless and integrated into your combat flow.
