In the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your array of abilities is key to emerging victorious in battle. To truly dominate the fight and 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

Equipping yourself with the best weapons and gear in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is crucial, but mastering control over the battle is paramount. One effective way to achieve this is by mounting the monster, which allows you to steer it into traps, engage it in battles with other monsters, and set up powerful attacks from your allies.

Mounting a monster can be achieved through various methods, each requiring precise timing, sufficient damage, consideration of the monster's resistance to mounting, and the choice of weapon. Whether your goal is to defeat or capture the monster, mounting can be a strategic advantage.

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 chosen 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 opportune moment, leap onto the monster and use your knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This method is perfect for players who favor ranged weapons like the Bow. While riding your Seikret, approach the monster and execute a dismount attack. As you dismount, perform an aerial slash towards the monster, which may give you the chance 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 create opportunities to mount the monster during your combat sequence.
