When mounted on a Seikret, you can toggle Auto-Move, which will have the Seikret automatically follow the best route towards a quest objective or a map marker.

While on Auto-Move, Seikrets will go over obstacles and jump off cliffs. While moving, you can aim your Slinger or ranged weapon to initiate combat without sacrificing mobility!

While using Auto-Move, you can deactivate it by pressing the Down Directional Button on your controller, the Q Key on PC, or simply by veering off-course, allowing you to manually control the Seikret.

After a certain amount of time without movement, the Seikret will automatically go back to Auto-Move and make its way to the map objective.

You can aim your Slinger or ranged weapon while riding a Seikret by adjusting your aim with the Right Stick on a controller or the Mouse on PC.

To use the Slinger, your ranged weapon must be holstered before aiming, while for a ranged weapon, you need to unsheathe it first. Both can be fired using the same assigned button.

Switch Weapons

Console

PC

Most weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds are a little too large for your backpack to carry. Thankfully, your trusty Seikret carries a much larger bag that can fit them.

Simply press the Right Directional Button on your controller, or the X Key for PC while mounted on your Seikret to swap to your Secondary Weapon. When you press the same buttons while dismounted, you will automatically call your Seikret and mount it before switching your weapon.

You can collect items with your Slinger while riding a Seikret if they're out of reach. First, activate your Slinger Aim, then press the Circle or B Button on your controller, or the F Key on PC.

Alternatively, you can pick up items manually by guiding your Seikret close enough to pass by the resource without using the Slinger.

Seikrets can glide by jumping off a cliff and holding down the R2 or RT Button on your controller, or the Z Key for PC. While gliding, you can still switch weapons for added flexibility.

Call your Seikret when knocked down to quickly regain your footing on the battlefield. While it may take some time to reach you depending on your location, it helps you reposition safely by minimizing the threat of taking another attack from a rampaging monster.

Sharpen and Use Items While Mounted

When in battle, you may find yourself in need of a potion or sharpening your blade, the latter of which will require you to stand still, rendering you vulnerable to enemy attacks.

Thankfully, you can do all of these while mounted on a Seikret. This way, you can disengage from an enemy while drinking a potion or maintaining your gear!

How to Sharpen Weapons

Follow the Scoutfly Trail

Seikrets have an incredibly keen sense of smell, visualized in-game as a sparkling trail known as Scoutflies. During exploration, follow the Scoutfiles to reach your quest objective!

When on Auto-Move, your Seikret will automatically follow these Scoutflies and find the best and quickest route to your destination.

Seikrets Slow Down When Aiming

One thing to note is that Seikrets slow down whenever you enter Focused Mode using your ranged weapon to help steady your aim. However, this doesn't apply when you aim your Slinger.

Remember this when fighting dangerous monsters out in the field! Know when to disengage and sprint out of the way, then aim when threats die down.

Drift on Sharp Turns

Playstation

Xbox

PC

Seikrets can drift when at full speed by either pressing the R2 or RT Button on controller, or the Z Key for PC. Toggling the left analog stick hard left or right will also produce the same effect on controllers.

Use this mechanic when dealing with sharp turns, especially when running from foes too powerful to take on!

What is a Seikret?

A Trusty Mount That Aids in Exploration

A Seikret is a mountable bird-like creature that supports the Hunter's terrain traversal, and acts as a secondary companion apart from your Palico. While it offers strategic support in battle, it does not actively attack enemies like the Palamute in Monster Hunter Rise.

Seikrets are Customizable

Seikrets can be customized to your liking once you unlock Nona’s services at Kunafa, Windward Plains by progressing through the Main Missions. You can personalize your Seikret with Decorations, pendants, feather colors, and even a custom name.
