How To Mount in Monster Hunter Wilds

Mastering the art of mounting in Monster Hunter Wilds is crucial for victory. This guide details various methods to subdue your quarry and gain the upper hand. Effective mounting hinges on timing, damage output, the monster's resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting can significantly aid in both defeating and capturing monsters.

Superior weaponry and armor are vital, but controlling the battle is paramount. Mounting allows you to force the monster into traps, instigate fights with other creatures, and unleash devastating allied attacks.

Several techniques exist for mounting:

Utilizing High Ground

The simplest method involves utilizing elevated terrain. Quickly ascend a cliff overlooking the monster (unless your allies are distracting it). As the monster approaches, time your leap onto its back. Maintain control by using your knife and weapon while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique is ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow. While dismounted from your Seikret and in close proximity to the monster, perform an aerial slash attack; this might create a mounting opportunity.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive wielders, will find this most effective. Continuous aerial attacks are key to mounting, making this a natural progression within your combat flow.
