While top-tier weapons and gear are important, controlling the fight is paramount. Mounting offers a significant advantage. Several methods exist, but success depends on timing, damage inflicted, the monster's mount resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting is effective for both defeating and capturing monsters.

Using High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method utilizes the environment. If the battleground offers high cliffs or ledges, climb above the monster. Quickly ascend before it follows. Once it's positioned below, time your jump perfectly onto its back. Maintain control by using your weapon while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique is ideal for ranged weapons like the Bow. While riding your Palamute (Seikret), approach the monster. Dismount and perform an aerial slash attack; this can create a mounting opportunity.

Aerial Weapon Attacks

Melee weapons, especially the Insect Glaive, excel at this. The Insect Glaive's aerial capabilities naturally lead to mounting opportunities. Continuous airborne attacks increase your chances of successfully mounting.
