How To Mount in Monster Hunter Wilds

Mastering the art of mounting in Monster Hunter Wilds is crucial for victory. This guide details various mounting techniques to gain battlefield control and subdue your prey.

While superior weaponry is important, controlling the fight is paramount. Mounting forces monsters into traps, instigates inter-monster battles, and sets up powerful allied attacks. Success depends on timing, damage output, monster resistance, and weapon choice. Mounting is effective for both defeating and capturing monsters.

Utilizing High Ground

The simplest method involves utilizing environmental advantages. Quickly climb a cliff overlooking the monster (avoiding pursuit if possible). Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches. Maintain control by using knife and weapon attacks while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Attack

Ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow, this technique involves a dismount attack from your Seikret while near the target. Perform an aerial slash as you dismount for a potential mount opportunity.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive users, will find this most effective. Continuous aerial attacks naturally create mounting opportunities during your attack combos.
