Monster Hunter Wilds: Mounting Guide

To master combat in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, understanding your full range of abilities is crucial for success. One essential technique is learning how to mount monsters, which gives you greater battlefield control. Here's everything you need to know about mounting in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

How To Mount a Monster in Monster Hunter Wilds

While having top-tier weapons and gear is important, true mastery comes from controlling every aspect of the fight. Mounting monsters allows you to steer them toward traps, trigger clashes with other creatures, and create openings for powerful team attacks.

There are multiple ways to mount monsters, with success depending on:

• Precise timing
• Damage output
• The monster's mounting resistance
• Your weapon choice

Mounting serves as a versatile tactic for either defeating or capturing your quarry.

Mounting Techniques

Use High Terrain

Find elevated terrain when available - cliffsides and ledges provide perfect mounting opportunities. Quickly climb to a position above your target, wait for the monster to approach below, then leap onto its back at the right moment. Maintain control with repeated weapon attacks during the mount.

Seikret Dismount Attack

Ideal for ranged weapon users. While riding your Seikret near the monster, execute a mid-air slash attack during dismount. This maneuver often leads to successful mounting.

Aerial Weapon Combos

Best for melee specialists, especially Insect Glaive users. Continuously chain aerial attacks to wear down the monster's mounting resistance, with mounting opportunities naturally occurring during combat.
