In the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering the art of battle is crucial for triumph. A key aspect of dominating the fight and controlling the beast you're facing is learning how to mount it. Here's a detailed guide on how to effectively mount monsters 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, truly mastering the battle means understanding every aspect of combat, including mounting the monster itself. This technique can force the beast into traps, provoke fights with other monsters, and set up powerful attacks from your allies.
Mounting a monster involves several methods, each requiring precise timing, sufficient damage, consideration of the monster's resistance to mounting, and the right choice of weapons.
Mounting is not just a tactic for defeating monsters; it can also be used strategically for capturing them, depending on your goals.
Use High Cliffs or Ledges
One of the simplest methods to mount a monster is by utilizing the terrain, specifically cliffs or ledges that are higher than the monster. If the environment allows, quickly climb to a higher position, ideally while the monster is distracted by your allies or other players.
Once positioned, wait for the monster to come beneath the ledge, then leap onto it at the perfect moment. While mounted, use both knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible.
Seikret Dismount Attack
For players favoring ranged weapons like the Bow, the Seikret dismount attack offers an effective mounting strategy. While riding your Seikret near the monster, perform an aerial slash attack as you dismount. This action can potentially allow you to mount the monster immediately after.
Aerial Weapon Attacks
For those who wield melee weapons, particularly the Insect Glaive known for its aerial capabilities, using aerial attacks is the most fluid way to mount. Continuously performing air-based attacks can weaken the monster, making it vulnerable to mounting as part of your natural combat flow.
