While top-tier weapons and gear are essential, mastering battlefield control is paramount. Mounting provides a significant advantage. Success depends on timing, damage dealt, the monster's mount resistance, and your chosen weapon.

Mounting is a valuable tactic for both defeating and capturing monsters, adapting to your specific goals.

Using High Cliffs or Ledges

This straightforward method utilizes the environment. If the battle area offers cliffs higher than the monster, quickly climb to a vantage point. Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches, ensuring swift attacks while mounted to maintain control.

Seikret Dismount Attack

Ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow, this technique involves dismounting your Palamute (Seikret) near the monster. Perform an aerial slash attack as you dismount, creating an opportunity to mount immediately afterward.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive users, will find this method most effective. The Insect Glaive's aerial focus makes mounting a natural extension of its moveset. Consistent aerial attacks are key to creating mounting opportunities.
