While superior weapons and gear are essential, controlling the battle flow is paramount. Mounting is a key element of this control. Success depends on precise timing, consistent damage, the monster's mount resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting is effective for both defeating and capturing monsters, adapting to your strategic goals.

Using High Cliffs or Ledges

This simple method utilizes the environment. If the battle area offers high cliffs or ledges, quickly climb to a vantage point above the monster (preferably before it notices). As the monster approaches, time your leap onto its back. Maintain control by using your knife and weapon attacks while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This tactic is ideal for ranged weapon users, especially Bow users. While riding your Palamute (Seikret), position yourself near the monster. Perform an aerial slash attack as you dismount, creating an opportunity to mount the monster immediately afterward.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapon users, particularly Insect Glaive users, will find this method most effective. The Insect Glaive’s aerial capabilities naturally lend themselves to this mounting strategy. Continuous air-based attacks are key to creating a mounting vulnerability.
