Unlock the Secret to Monster Mounting in Monster Hunter Wilds – Full Guide!

While you can charge into Monster Hunter Wilds using a brute force strategy, adopting a more calculated approach tends to bring better success. Just like the old saying goes, there are multiple ways to defeat a Rajang, making it crucial to understand when and how to mount monsters in order to maximize your chances of victory.

Apart from learning how to ride monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, players need to be aware of what comes next, as they’ll only have a short time before the monster knocks them off. This guide encompasses all the mounting controls for MHW and provides a simple explanation of when to employ them.

How to Mount Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds

In Monster Hunter Wilds, players can mount monsters by leaping down onto them from above while simultaneously pressing the standard attack/reload key (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox, Right Click on PC). Players may utilize their surroundings to achieve a height advantage or jump straight from their Seikret onto the monster’s back. If executed successfully, the hunter will cling on, prompting the monster to attempt shaking them off. The stamina bar at the top left of the screen shows how long players can remain mounted before they are compelled to dismount.

As a dedicated Monster Hunter Wilds player, I’d always recommend taking a strategic pause before diving into combat with a formidable foe. Instead of recklessly attacking right after engaging, it’s wise to position yourself at a safe spot where you can inflict damage on the monster, specifically aiming for a weak point or area that will lead to an open wound. It’s crucial to choose a location where the monster won’t be able to retaliate with its attacks.

The only instances when light knife attacks are useful are during bracing moments. In all other scenarios, it’s best to focus on dealing heavy damage with your primary weapon – this is the most dependable method for causing wounds. Occasionally, you may need to shift positions to dodge attacks, and remember to brace whenever the monster launches a violent thrash to conserve stamina.

While riding a beast, the goal is often to find and strike an opening in its wound before getting thrown off. To do this effectively, it’s wise to consistently monitor the Stamina meter located in the upper left corner of your screen to ensure you don’t exhaust yourself prematurely.
