While superior weapons and gear are vital, controlling the battle through mounting is paramount. Let's explore the methods:
Using High Cliffs or Ledges
If the environment allows, climb a cliff overlooking the monster. Quickly ascend before it follows. As it approaches, time your leap onto its back. Use your knife and weapon attacks while mounted to maintain control.

Seikret Dismount Attack
This method is ideal for ranged weapon users, such as Bow wielders. While riding your Seikret near the monster, dismount and perform an aerial slash attack. This can create an opportunity to mount immediately afterward.
Aerial Weapon Attacks
Melee weapon users, especially Insect Glaive users, will find this most effective. Since consistent aerial attacks are key to mounting, this method naturally integrates into your combat flow.
