How to Mount Monsters

Putting Monsters in Mountable State

To ride monsters, you have to put them in a mountable state first. This can be accomplished in several ways: using Silkbind and Wirebug Attacks consistently, using Puppet Spiders, or monsters attacking each other!

Take note, Wyvern Riding replaces the traditional mounting we know from the past games so consider these methods if you want to ride these monsters!

Use Silkbind and Wirebug Aerial Attacks

Using Silkbind Attacks and Wirebug Aerial consistently against a monster gives you a high chance of putting it in a mountable state. When your wirebugs are fully charged, always try to execute these unique moves!

Use Puppet Spiders

Puppet Spiders are a type of Endemic Life that puts monsters in a mountable state instantly! Like the usual Endemic Life, they can be picked up around the map and will be stored like an item.

To use the Puppet Spiders, highlight it on the Item Bar and Press Y to use.

Attacked by Another Large Monster

A monster attacking another monster will eventually wear it down to its mountable state! This could happen by either attacking another monster while riding on one or monsters wearing themselves out in a turf war.

Be alert for when you can ride. Why watch when you can fight!

How to Ride Monsters

When you have successfully mounted the monster, know how to ride it! Here are all the things you need to know!

Main Controls

Button	Action
+	Move
	Light Attack
	Strong Attack
	Evade Emergency Evade can be used when you are attacking or being hit.
	Launch Monster
+	Mounted Punisher

Move

While riding a monster, use the Left Analog Stick while holding the R Button. You can take the monster anywhere on the map so ride to your heart's content!

Light Attack

Execute a light attack by pressing the X Button.

Strong Attack

Execute a strong attack by pressing the A Button. The strong attack is slower than a light attack but packs more punch. It is advisable to use this only when there is a huge attack window!

Evade

You can evade by pressing the B Button. You can execute an Emergency Evade when your monster is attacking or being hit at the cost of your Wirebug gauge.

Launching Monsters

You can launch monsters onto a wall, an obstacle, or another monster by pressing the Y Button. This costs one Wirebug per hit so this can be chained multiple times! This will cause you to dismount so keep this in mind!

Also, launching the monster you are currently riding onto another monster will cause that monster to enter its mountable state!

Mounted Punisher

Enlarge

Filling up the Wyvern Riding Gauge enables you to execute the Mounted Punisher. This causes the monster to topple down and be open for attacks!

To fill up the Wyvern Riding Gauge, attack other monsters or evade before you get hit.

The Riding Timer

The Riding Timer shows you how long you can ride a certain monster. Time replenishes whenever you land an attack and depletes when you are hit. You can't ride monsters forever!
