While top-tier weapons and gear are important, mastering battle control is paramount. Here are several methods for mounting:

Utilizing High Cliffs and Ledges

This straightforward method involves climbing to a higher vantage point than the monster. Quickly ascend the cliff before the monster follows. As the monster approaches, time your leap onto its back. Maintain control by using knife and weapon attacks while mounted.

Seikret Dismount Attack

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

Aerial Weapon Attacks

This is best for melee weapons, especially the Insect Glaive. The Insect Glaive's aerial capabilities make this a natural and seamless method, as mounting often occurs within your regular attack flow.
