In the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering the art of battle is crucial for emerging victorious. One key skill that can tip the scales in your favor is the ability to mount monsters, giving you control over the beast and the battlefield. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to mount in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

How to Mount a Monster in Monster Hunter Wilds

While having top-tier weapons and gear is essential, truly dominating the battlefield comes from understanding every aspect of combat. Mounting a monster can not only help you steer it into traps or towards other monsters but also set up devastating attacks from your allies.

Mounting a monster isn't just about style; it's a strategic move that can aid in both defeating and capturing your target. The success of a mount depends on several factors including timing, the damage you inflict, the monster's resistance to mounting, and the weapon you choose.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

One of the simplest methods to mount a monster is by utilizing the terrain. If your battlefield includes high cliffs or ledges, climb to a vantage point above the monster. Quickly ascend before the monster notices, especially if it's not distracted by your allies or other players.

Once positioned, wait for the monster to move beneath you. At the perfect moment, leap down onto the monster. While mounted, use your knife and weapon attacks to maintain control and extend your time on the beast.

Seikret Dismount Attack

For those favoring ranged weapons like the Bow, the Seikret dismount attack offers a unique mounting opportunity. Ride your Seikret close to the monster and, as you dismount, execute an aerial slash attack. This maneuver can seamlessly transition into a mount, giving you a tactical advantage.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

If you're a fan of melee combat, especially with the Insect Glaive, aerial attacks are your go-to for mounting. The Insect Glaive's natural aerial capabilities make it easier to keep monsters vulnerable to mounting. Continuously perform air-based attacks to set up the perfect moment to mount your target.
