While superior weapons and gear are important, controlling the battle's flow is paramount. Here are several methods for mounting:

Utilizing High Cliffs and Ledges

This straightforward method involves finding a cliff higher than the monster. Quickly climb to the ledge before the monster follows. Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches, utilizing knife and weapon attacks while mounted to maintain control.

Seikret Dismount Attack

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

Aerial Weapon Attacks

This method is best suited for melee weapons, particularly the Insect Glaive. The Insect Glaive's aerial capabilities make this a natural and effective mounting strategy, as continuous airborne attacks often lead to mounting opportunities.
