In the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your arsenal of abilities is crucial for achieving victory. One of the key strategies to dominate battles and control the beast you're facing is by learning how to mount it. 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 essential, mastering the art of controlling the battlefield in every aspect is paramount. One effective way to achieve this is by mounting the monster itself, which allows you to direct it into traps, engage it with other monsters, and coordinate powerful attacks from your allies.

There are several methods to mount a monster, but success largely depends on timing, the amount of damage inflicted, the monster's resistance to mount attacks, and the weapon(s) you're using. Mounting can be a strategic move for both defeating and capturing monsters, tailored to your specific goals.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The most direct approach to mounting a monster is by utilizing high cliffs or ledges within the environment. If the area you're fighting in offers these geographical advantages, climb up to a cliffside that's higher than the monster.

Quickly auto-climb to the desired cliffside, especially if the monster is distracted by your allies (your Palico or other players). Wait for the monster to position itself beneath the ledge, then seize the moment to leap onto it. While mounted, utilize 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. It involves executing a dismount attack from your Seikret while riding it near the monster. As you dismount, perform an aerial slash attack towards the monster, which may grant you an opportunity to mount it immediately afterward.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Ideal for melee weapon enthusiasts, particularly those wielding the Insect Glaive known for its aerial prowess. Continuously executing air-based attacks is the primary way to make monsters susceptible to mounting, making this method the most fluid as it can naturally integrate into your combat sequences.
