While equipping the best weapons and gear is essential in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, truly dominating the battle hinges on your ability to control every aspect of the fight.

Mounting a monster can be achieved through various methods, each requiring precise timing, sufficient damage, consideration of the monster's mount resistance, and the appropriate weapon choice. Mounting not only aids in defeating monsters but can also be crucial for capturing them, aligning with your specific goals.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method involves using the environment to your advantage. If the terrain offers high cliffs or ledges, quickly climb to a vantage point higher than the monster. If possible, do this while the monster is distracted by your allies, such as your Palico or other players.

Once positioned, wait for the monster to move beneath your ledge, then leap onto it at the perfect moment. While mounted, use your knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible.

For those favoring ranged weapons like the Bow, this strategy involves dismounting from your Seikret near the monster. As you dismount, execute an aerial slash attack towards the monster, which may give you an opportunity to mount it immediately afterward.

If you wield melee weapons, especially the Insect Glaive known for its aerial prowess, this method is your best bet. By consistently executing air-based attacks, you can make the monster vulnerable to mounting, seamlessly integrating this tactic into your combat flow.
