In the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering your arsenal of abilities is crucial for triumphing over the formidable beasts you encounter. A key strategy to dominate the battlefield and control your prey is by learning how to mount monsters. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to mount in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
How to Mount a Monster in Monster Hunter Wilds
While equipping the best weapons and gear in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is essential, mastering the art of controlling the battle is paramount. Mounting a monster allows you to steer it into traps, engage it in battles with other monsters, and set up devastating attacks from your allies.
There are several methods to mount a monster, each requiring precise timing, sufficient damage, consideration of the monster's mount resistance, and the right choice of weapon.
Mounting can be a strategic move for both defeating and capturing monsters, tailored to your specific goals.
Use High Cliffs or Ledges
The simplest approach is to utilize the environment by climbing to a higher cliff or ledge if available. Quickly ascend to your chosen vantage point, especially if the monster is distracted by your allies, such as your Palico or other players.
Position yourself above the monster and wait for it to move beneath the ledge. At the perfect moment, leap onto the monster, using knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible.
Seikret Dismount Attack
This method is perfect for players who favor ranged weapons like the Bow. While riding your Seikret, approach the monster and execute a dismount attack. As you leap off your Seikret, perform an aerial slash towards the monster, which may give you the opportunity to mount it immediately after.
Aerial Weapon Attacks
Ideal for melee weapon enthusiasts, especially those wielding the Insect Glaive, which excels in aerial combat. By consistently executing air-based attacks, you can naturally transition into a mount, making this method seamless and integrated into your combat flow.
