While top-tier weapons and gear are important, controlling the fight is paramount. Mounting provides a significant advantage. Success depends on timing, damage inflicted, the monster's mount resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting is a valuable tactic for both defeating and capturing monsters.

Using High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method utilizes the environment. If the battlefield offers high cliffs or ledges, climb above the monster. Quickly ascend before it follows. As the monster approaches, time your leap onto its back. Maintain control by using knife and weapon attacks while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique is ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow. While riding your Seikret near the monster, perform a dismount aerial slash attack. This can create an opportunity to mount immediately after.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive users, will find this method most effective. Since continuous aerial attacks are key to mounting, this often happens naturally within your attack flow.
