In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering the art of mounting monsters is essential for gaining the upper hand in battle. Whether you're aiming to subdue, capture, or simply outmaneuver these formidable creatures, knowing how to mount them can significantly alter the dynamics of your fight. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to mount in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

How To Mount a Monster in Monster Hunter Wilds

While having the best weapons and gear is crucial, truly controlling the battle means understanding every tactical advantage, including how to mount a monster. Mounting not only allows you to steer the beast into traps or into the path of your allies' attacks but also gives you a chance to deal significant damage from atop the creature itself.

There are several methods to mount a monster, each dependent on timing, the damage you inflict, the monster's resistance to mounting, and the type of weapon you're using. Mounting can be a strategic move for both defeating and capturing monsters, tailored to your specific goals in the hunt.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest way to mount a monster is by using the environment to your advantage. If you're in an area with cliffs or ledges higher than the monster, you can quickly ascend to a vantage point. Auto-climb to the top swiftly, especially if the monster is not distracted by your allies like your Palico or other players.

Position yourself at the edge, waiting for the monster to come near. At the right moment, leap onto it. Once mounted, use your knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

If you prefer ranged combat, such as using a Bow, the Seikret dismount attack can be your key to mounting. While riding your Seikret, get close to the monster and perform an aerial slash attack as you dismount. This move can transition directly into a mount if executed correctly.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

For melee weapon enthusiasts, particularly those wielding the Insect Glaive, aerial attacks are your best bet. This weapon excels in aerial combat, making it easier to keep the monster vulnerable and mountable through continuous air-based attacks.
