In the intense world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your arsenal of abilities is crucial for triumphing over your foes. To truly dominate the battlefield and control the beast you're facing, understanding how to mount a monster is essential. Here’s a detailed guide on how to mount in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

How to Mount a Monster in Monster Hunter Wilds

Equipping the best weapons and gear in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is vital, but mastering the art of controlling the battle in every aspect is your ultimate goal. One key strategy is mounting the monster to force it into traps, engage it in battles with other monsters, and set up powerful attacks from your allies.

Mounting a monster can be achieved through various methods, with success hinging on timing, the amount of damage you inflict, the monster’s resistance to mount attacks, and the weapons you wield. Mounting not only aids in defeating monsters but can also be instrumental in capturing them, depending on your goals.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest approach is to utilize the environment by climbing to a higher cliffside if available. Quickly ascend the cliff, especially if the monster is distracted by your Palico or other players, to avoid being followed.

Once the monster is positioned beneath the ledge, time your leap perfectly to mount it. While mounted, utilize knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique is perfect for those who favor ranged weapons like the Bow. While riding your Seikret, approach the monster and execute a dismount attack with an aerial slash. This can potentially lead to a successful mount immediately after the attack.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Ideal for melee weapon enthusiasts, especially those wielding the Insect Glaive, which excels in aerial combat. By continuously performing air-based attacks, you can naturally set up opportunities to mount the monster during your combat sequence.
