Mounting Techniques in Monster Hunter Wilds Revealed

In the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your arsenal of abilities is crucial for triumphing in battles. To truly dominate and control the ferocious beasts you face, understanding how to mount them 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 is vital, controlling the battle through every possible means is paramount. One of the most effective tactics is mounting the monster to guide it into traps, engage it with other monsters, or expose it to powerful attacks from your allies.

Mounting a monster in *Monster Hunter Wilds* involves several methods, each requiring perfect timing, sufficient damage, consideration of the monster’s resistance to mounting, and the choice of your weapon(s). Mounting can be a strategic move for both defeating and capturing monsters, depending on your goals.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest approach is to utilize high cliffs or ledges within the battle environment. If the terrain allows, quickly auto-climb to a higher position. If the monster is not distracted by your allies, such as your Palico or other players, you must act swiftly to avoid being followed.

Position yourself at the edge of the cliff, waiting for the monster to pass underneath. At the opportune moment, leap onto the monster, and use knife and weapon attacks to maintain control as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

For fans of ranged weapons like the Bow, the Seikret dismount attack is a perfect strategy. As you ride your Seikret near the monster, execute a dismount with an aerial slash attack directed at the beast. This can potentially lead to a successful mount immediately after the attack.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon enthusiasts, particularly those wielding the Insect Glaive, will find aerial weapon attacks to be the most natural method. This weapon excels in air-based combat, and continuous aerial attacks can make the monster vulnerable to mounting, seamlessly integrating into your combat strategy.
