"Mastering Mounts in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide"

In the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your arsenal of abilities is key to conquering your foes. One critical skill to dominate the battlefield is learning how to mount a monster. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to mount in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

How To Mount a Monster in Monster Hunter Wilds

While equipping yourself with the best weapons and gear is crucial, mastering the art of controlling the battle, including mounting the monster, is paramount. Mounting allows you to steer the monster into traps, initiate fights with other monsters, and set up powerful attacks from your allies.

There are several methods to mount a monster, each depending on timing, damage output, the monster's resistance to mounting, and your chosen weapon. Mounting can be a strategic tool for both defeating and capturing monsters, tailored to your specific objectives.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method involves utilizing the environment. If the terrain offers high cliffs or ledges, climb to a vantage point above the monster. Quickly ascend if the monster isn't distracted by your allies, such as your Palico or other players.

Position yourself at the edge and wait for the monster to pass beneath. At the perfect moment, leap onto the monster, using knife and weapon attacks to maintain control as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique is perfect for those who favor ranged weapons like the Bow. While riding your Seikret, approach the monster and execute a dismount attack. As you leap off, perform an aerial slash towards the monster, which may give you the opportunity 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 performing air-based attacks, you can naturally create opportunities to mount the monster during your combat sequence.
