Mastering Monster Mounts in Monster Hunter Wilds

While equipping top-tier weapons and armor matters in Monster Hunter Wilds, true combat mastery comes from controlling engagements. Mounting monsters provides tactical advantages like positioning beasts for environmental hazards, triggering turf wars, and creating attack openings for your team.

Several mounting techniques exist, but success depends on precise timing, damage output, the monster's mounting resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting serves multiple purposes - weakening foes for capture or delivering finishing blows.

Utilizing Elevated Terrain

The simplest approach involves leveraging high ground when available. Scout battlefields for cliffs or ledges above your target.

Quickly scale these vantage points before your quarry follows. Wait for the monster to position itself below, then time your leap perfectly. Once mounted, maintain control through rapid knife strikes and weapon attacks to prolong your advantage.

Seikret Mounting Technique

Ranged combatants favor this approach. Ride your Seikret near the monster, then execute a dismounting air attack. A well-timed aerial slash during dismount can transition directly into a successful monster mount.

Aerial Combat Mounting

Melee specialists, particularly Insect Glaive users, excel at this method. Since mounting vulnerability builds from consecutive aerial strikes, weapon combos naturally create mounting opportunities during standard combat maneuvers.

With these techniques mastered, you'll dominate the wilds through superior battlefield control. For more advanced strategies, check our guide on unlocking high-rank content.
