How To Mount in Monster Hunter Wilds

Mastering the art of mounting in Monster Hunter Wilds is crucial for victory. This guide details various techniques to subdue your prey and gain the upper hand. Effective mounting often depends on timing, damage inflicted, the monster's resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting can be vital for both defeating and capturing monsters.

While superior weaponry is important, controlling the battle flow is paramount. Mounting allows you to force the monster into traps, instigate fights with other creatures, and unleash devastating allied attacks.

Several methods exist for mounting:

Utilizing High Ground

If the environment offers cliffs, utilize them! Quickly ascend before the monster follows. As it approaches, time your leap onto its back. Maintain control by using knife and weapon attacks while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Attack

Ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow, this involves a dismount aerial slash attack from your Seikret while near the monster. This can create a mounting opportunity.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive users, will find this most effective. Continuous aerial attacks naturally increase your chances of mounting.
