How To Mount in Monster Hunter Wilds

Mastering the art of mounting in Monster Hunter Wilds is crucial for victory. This guide details various methods to successfully mount monsters, maximizing your control and dealing significant damage.

Effective combat in Monster Hunter Wilds hinges on strategic battle control. Mounting a monster allows for advantageous traps, inter-monster conflicts, and powerful allied attacks. Success depends on precise timing, damage output, the monster's mount resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting is equally valuable for both defeating and capturing monsters.

High-Ground Advantage

Utilize the environment! If the battlefield offers high cliffs or ledges, quickly ascend before the monster follows. Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches below, maintaining control with continuous knife and weapon attacks while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Maneuver

Ranged weapon users should leverage this technique. While riding your Seikret near the target monster, dismount and perform an aerial slash attack. This creates an opportunity to mount immediately afterward.

Aerial Combat Mastery

Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive users, should focus on aerial attacks. Consistent airborne assaults are key to mounting, seamlessly integrating this tactic into your combat flow.
