While equipping the best weapons and gear in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is essential, gaining complete control over the battle is paramount. One effective way to achieve this is by mounting the monster, enabling you to steer it into traps, engage it in combat with other monsters, and set up devastating attacks from your allies.

There are several techniques for mounting a monster, but success hinges on timing, the amount of damage inflicted, the monster's resistance to mounting attacks, and the weapons you choose. Mounting can be a powerful strategy for both defeating and capturing monsters, tailored to your specific goals.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest approach is to ascend to a cliffside higher than the monster, provided the terrain allows for it. Quickly auto-climb to your desired vantage point, especially if the monster is distracted by your allies, such as your Palico or other players. Wait for the monster to move beneath the ledge, then leap onto it at the opportune moment. Continue using knife and weapon attacks to maintain control for as long as possible.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This method is perfect for those who favor ranged weapons like the Bow. As you dismount from your Seikret near the monster, execute an aerial slash attack. This could provide an immediate opportunity to mount the beast.

Ideal for players wielding melee weapons, especially the Insect Glaive with its aerial capabilities. By consistently performing air-based attacks, you can naturally create openings for mounting the monster as part of your combat flow.
