Perform a Jump Attack

To mount a monster, you must perform a Jump Attack on them. You can perform a Jump Attack by drawing your weapon while in the air. You can become airborne by jumping off a ledge, dismounting your Seikret while moving, or while swinging on a Wedge Beetle.
Fill the Hidden Mount Meter
You will notice that you do not always mount on the first Jump Attack. This is because there is a Hidden Mount Meter that must be filled up before you can mount a monster. You fill this meter up by continuously performing Jump Attacks on your target.
Attack the Monster While Mounted
| Action | PS5 | PC | XBOX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light Knife Attack |  |

| Strong Knife Attack |

|
| Weapon Attack/Finisher |  |

| Change Position/Target |  |

While mounting a monster, you can perform a variety of attacks on them. Using a Light Knife Attack on monsters will perform numerous quick attacks that deal minimal damage to the monster. The Strong Knife Attack, on the other hand, will have you perform slow attacks that deal even more damage.
Finally, the Weapon Attack will have you draw your weapon to deal a large amount of damage to the monster. Take note that performing a Weapon Attack will make you dismount the monster.
You can to move around on the monster if you want to switch the part that you are attacking.
Using Strong Knife Attacks Can Wound
When you perform a Strong Knife Attack on a monster part repeatedly, you will eventually inflict a Wound on it. Once you are off the monster, you can then use a Focus Attack on the Wound to deal a lot of damage.
Wounding Mechanic Explained
Perform a Finisher
Once you perform enough damage to the monster, your Weapon Attack will convert into a Finisher. Performing a finisher will deal a massive amount of damage to the monster and down them afterward.
Brace to Avoid Getting Dismounted
| Action | PS4 | PC | XBOX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brace | 
|  |
|
When the edges of your screen darken while on a monster, it signals that the monster will try to get you off its back. When that happens, press the Brace button to hold on. Failure to do so will drain a huge chunk of your Stamina. If your Stamina reaches 0, you will automatically be dismounted.
Changing Position Also Prevents DIsmounting
Alternatively, you can change position using the Left Analog Stick right before the monster tries to dismount you. Changing position prevents the Stamina reduction, while also allowing you to keep attacking the monster.
Mounting Tips
Use Seikret to Perform Jump Attacks
If you're having difficulties performing Jump Attacks, you can call your Seikret to give you a lift. To do this, dismount from your Seikret, and you'll be catapulted into the air, giving you an opening to perform a Jump Attack while airborne.
Seikret Mount Features and Abilities
Continue Attacking During Rampage
If a monster suddenly rampages before mounting, continue dishing out attacks instead of avoiding them. This helps you fill the Mount Meter quickly, allowing you to mount monsters with ease.
To see if a monster is rampaging, check the map below. If it shows a red state, that means the monster is rampaging.
Move to Inflict Multiple Wounds
When mounted, you can also move around to change targets. This way, you’d be able to inflict multiple wounds on different areas, allowing you to deal more damage to those parts.
Can All Monsters be Mounted?
Only Large Monsters Can be Mounted
Although you can perform a Jumping Attack on all monsters in the game, you can only mount Large Monsters. Performing a Jumping Attack on a smaller monster will just deal damage to them.
What is Mounting?
Mounting Creates a Window of Opportunity
Mounting in Monster Hunter Wilds gives hunters the ability to ride a monster, forcing the monster to focus on the hunter mounting them. While mounted, the hunter can perform attacks on the monster.
Because the monster is focused on the hunter mounting it, it gives other hunters the opportunity to attack the monster without consequence. Additionally, as the monster goes down when the hunter performs a finisher, the hunters get an even bigger window to attack the monster.
