While equipping the best weapons and gear is essential, controlling the flow of battle is paramount. Mounting a monster not only allows you to steer it into traps or engage it in battles with other monsters but also sets the stage for devastating attacks from your allies.

Mounting a monster can be achieved through various methods, each requiring precise timing, sufficient damage, consideration of the monster's mount resistance, and the choice of your weapon. Whether you're aiming to defeat or capture the beast, mastering the art of mounting can be a game-changer.

Use High Cliffs or Ledges

The most direct approach is utilizing the environment to your advantage by climbing onto a high cliff or ledge. If the terrain permits, quickly ascend to a vantage point. If the monster isn't distracted by your allies or other players, you'll need to act fast before it follows you.

Once the monster is positioned below, seize the moment to leap onto it. Employ your knife and weapon attacks to maintain control as long as possible during the mount.

For those who favor ranged weapons like the Bow, dismounting from your Seikret near the monster offers a unique opportunity. As you dismount, execute an aerial slash attack towards the monster. This could provide a window to successfully mount it immediately after.

If you wield melee weapons, especially the Insect Glaive known for its aerial prowess, this method is your go-to. By continuously performing air-based attacks, you can naturally set up the monster for a mount. This seamless integration into your combat style makes it an efficient strategy.
