How To Mount in Monster Hunter Wilds

In the intense battles of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your array of abilities is crucial to achieving victory. One key skill that can significantly tilt the scales in your favor is the ability to mount monsters. Mounting not only allows you to control the flow of combat but also to strategically position the beast for traps, engagements with other monsters, and devastating attacks from your allies. 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 in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is essential, mastering the art of controlling the battle is paramount. Mounting the monster itself is a powerful technique that can turn the tide of the fight. Successful mounting depends on timing, the damage you deal, the monster's resistance to mount attacks, and the weapons you choose.

Mounting is a versatile strategy that can be used both for defeating and capturing monsters, depending on your goals.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method to mount a monster is by utilizing the environment. If you're in an area with high cliffs or ledges, you can climb to a vantage point above the monster.

Quickly auto-climb up the cliffside before the monster notices, especially if it's not distracted by your allies like your Palico or other players. Wait for the monster to approach the area directly beneath your ledge, then seize the moment to leap onto it. While mounted, use your knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

For those who favor ranged weapons like the Bow, using your Seikret to perform a dismount attack can be an effective mounting strategy. As you dismount your Seikret near the monster, execute an aerial slash attack toward it. This can provide you with an opportunity to mount the monster immediately afterward.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon enthusiasts, particularly those wielding the Insect Glaive, will find aerial weapon attacks to be the most seamless method for mounting. The Insect Glaive's aerial capabilities allow you to continuously attack from the air, naturally leading to opportunities for mounting as the monster becomes vulnerable.
