While superior weapons and gear are important, controlling the fight is paramount. Mounting offers significant tactical advantages. Success depends on timing, damage inflicted, the monster's mount resistance, and your chosen weapon.

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

Using High Cliffs or Ledges

This straightforward method utilizes environmental advantages. If the battlefield offers high cliffs, quickly climb before the monster follows. Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches below, using your knife and weapon to maintain control during the mount.

Seikret Dismount Attack

Ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow, this involves a dismount attack from your Seikret while near the monster. Perform an aerial slash attack as you dismount, creating an opportunity to mount immediately afterward.
