"Guide: Mounting Techniques in Monster Hunter Wilds"

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your full range of abilities is crucial for triumphing in battles. To gain the upper hand and control the beast you're facing, learning how to mount it is essential. 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 vital, truly dominating the battlefield involves mastering every aspect of combat. One effective tactic is mounting the monster to steer it into traps, initiate battles with other monsters, or set up devastating attacks from your allies.

Mounting a monster can be achieved through various methods, with success hinging on timing, the amount of damage inflicted, the monster's resistance to mounting attacks, and the weapons you choose. This strategy is useful not only for defeating but also for capturing monsters, depending on your goals.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest approach is to utilize high cliffs or ledges if the environment allows. Climb up to a vantage point higher than the monster. If possible, do this quickly before the monster notices and follows you.

Once the monster is beneath the ledge, leap onto it at the perfect moment. While mounted, use knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as you can.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This method is ideal for those who favor ranged weapons like the Bow. While riding your Seikret near the monster, perform a dismount attack. As you dismount, execute an aerial slash towards the monster, which may give you an opportunity to mount it immediately after.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

For players who prefer melee weapons, particularly the Insect Glaive known for its aerial capabilities, this is the best approach. Continuously performing aerial attacks can make the monster vulnerable to mounting, seamlessly integrating into your combat flow.
