How to Mount a Monster in Monster Hunter Wilds

While having the best weapons and gear is crucial, controlling the battlefield through monster mounting can be your game-changer. Mounting allows you to influence the monster's movements and actions, significantly impacting the outcome of the battle. The success of mounting depends on several factors, including timing, the amount of damage inflicted, the monster's resistance to mounting, and the weapons you choose to wield.

Mounting is not only a powerful tactic for defeating monsters but also for capturing them, tailored to your specific goals within the game.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The most direct method to mount a monster involves using the environment to your advantage. If the area you're fighting in features cliffs or ledges, climb to a higher vantage point quickly, especially if the monster isn't distracted by your allies or other players.

Once positioned, wait for the monster to pass beneath you. At the opportune moment, leap onto it. While mounted, utilize knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible, maximizing your strategic advantage.

Seikret Dismount Attack

For players favoring ranged weapons like the Bow, the Seikret dismount attack offers a unique opportunity. By dismounting your Seikret near the monster and executing an aerial slash attack, you might secure a chance to mount the monster immediately after.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

If you're a fan of melee combat, particularly with weapons like the Insect Glaive that excel in aerial maneuvers, this method suits you best. Continuously performing air-based attacks can naturally lead to mounting opportunities, making it a fluid and effective strategy.
