While equipping the best weapons and gear in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is essential, truly dominating the battlefield requires you to control the fight in every possible way. Mounting the monster is a strategic move that can lead to trapping it, inciting battles with other monsters, or setting up powerful attacks from your allies.

There are several methods to mount a monster, each dependent on timing, the damage you inflict, the monster's resistance to mounting attacks, and the weapons you use. Mounting can be a key strategy for both defeating and capturing monsters, tailored to your specific goals.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method is to utilize the environment by climbing to a high cliff or ledge that overlooks the monster. If the area you're fighting in offers such opportunities, take advantage of them.

Quickly auto-climb to your chosen vantage point, especially if the monster is distracted by your allies, such as your Palico or other players. Wait for the monster to position itself beneath the ledge, then seize the moment to leap onto it. Once mounted, use your knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique involves executing a dismount attack from your Seikret while in close proximity to the monster. It's particularly effective for those who favor ranged weapons like the Bow. As you dismount from your Seikret, perform an aerial slash towards the monster, which could give you the opportunity to mount it immediately after.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

This method is ideal for players who prefer melee weapons, especially the Insect Glaive, known for its aerial capabilities. By continuously executing air-based attacks, you can make the monster vulnerable to mounting. This approach seamlessly integrates into your combat sequence, making it a natural part of your strategy.
