How To Mount in Monster Hunter Wilds

Mastering the art of mounting in Monster Hunter Wilds is crucial for victory. This guide details how to effectively mount monsters, maximizing your control and unleashing devastating attacks. Successful mounting depends on timing, damage inflicted, the monster's resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting is a key strategy for both defeating and capturing monsters.

While superior weaponry is important, controlling the battle is paramount. Mounting allows you to force monsters into traps, instigate fights with other creatures, and coordinate powerful allied attacks.

Several methods exist for mounting:

Utilizing High Ground

The simplest approach involves using elevated terrain. Quickly climb a cliff overlooking the monster, ensuring you're positioned for a swift descent. Time your jump onto the monster as it approaches, immediately initiating attacks while mounted to maintain control.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique is ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow. While dismounting your Seikret near the monster, perform an aerial slash attack. A successful attack often creates a mounting opportunity.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive users, will find this method most effective. Continuous aerial attacks weaken the monster, naturally leading to mounting opportunities within your attack flow.
