While superior weapons and gear are vital, controlling the battle is paramount. Mounting offers significant advantages in both defeating and capturing monsters. Let's explore the key mounting techniques:

Using High Cliffs or Ledges

This straightforward method utilizes the environment. If the battle area features cliffs higher than the monster, quickly climb to a vantage point before the monster follows. Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches, using your knife and weapon to maintain control during the mount.

Seikret Dismount Attack

This technique is ideal for ranged weapon users, particularly bow users. While riding your Seikret near the monster, perform an aerial slash attack during dismount. This can create 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 abilities naturally lend themselves to creating mounting opportunities through consistent airborne attacks.
