In the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your arsenal of abilities is essential to achieving victory. One key skill that can give you the upper hand in battles is learning how to mount monsters. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to mount in *Monster Hunter Wilds* to help you dominate your encounters and control the battlefield like never before.

How to Mount a Monster in Monster Hunter Wilds

Equipping the best weapons and gear is crucial in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, but understanding how to manipulate the battle dynamics is what sets you apart. Mounting a monster allows you to guide it into traps, engage it in combat with other monsters, or set up devastating attacks from your allies.

Mounting a monster involves several techniques, each requiring precise timing, sufficient damage, consideration of the monster's resistance to mounting attacks, and the type of weapon you're using. Utilizing mounts can be a strategic advantage, whether you aim to defeat or capture the beast.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method is to utilize the environment by climbing to a higher cliff or ledge if available. Quickly ascend to a vantage point, especially if the monster is distracted by your allies, such as your Palico or other players. Once positioned, wait for the monster to move beneath you, then leap onto it at the perfect moment. Use your knife and weapon attacks while mounted to maintain control as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

For those favoring ranged weapons like the Bow, this technique is ideal. While riding your Seikret, approach the monster and perform a dismount attack with an aerial slash. This can provide an opportunity to mount the monster immediately afterward.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

If you prefer melee weapons, particularly the Insect Glaive known for its aerial capabilities, this method is your best bet. Continuously performing air-based attacks can naturally lead to mounting opportunities, making it a seamless integration into your combat strategy.

With these techniques at your disposal, mastering how to mount in *Monster Hunter Wilds* will significantly enhance your gameplay. For more tips and strategies, be sure to explore our other guides, including how to unlock high rank.
