by

Are you curious about how to ride monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds? The land is filled with fearsome creatures that could easily trample your character if caution isn’t taken. But, by executing aerial attacks, there’s a chance you could climb on their backs and hold on for survival. Our guide will assist you in mastering this combat technique to gain the upper hand.

How to mount monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds

1. To attack monsters from the air, ensure you have a melee weapon at hand first. After that, prepare yourself to execute one of these two actions:

2. For air assaults on monsters, make sure your melee weapon is equipped initially. Then, get ready to perform either of the following moves:

  • Jump off ledges while a creature is below you.
  • Jump off your Seikret mount while a target is at a lower height/lower stance.
  • Use your Slinger to grapple onto floating contraptions, vines, or insects, then drop down a creature that’s below you.

After jumping, press the primary attack key: it’s the Triangle button for PlayStation 5, Y for Xbox Series X/S, or the left mouse button on PC. If everything works out, your character should grab onto the target’s back, initiating a mini-game of sorts.

What to do once you’re on top of a monster?

If you think you can hop onto a beast in Monster Hunter Wilds, remember not to jump the gun. Initially, make sure to observe the on-screen instructions and details carefully before proceeding.

  • The upper-left corner of the screen shows your stamina meter. It will gradually drain while you’re riding the creature.
  • Monsters will attempt to buck and toss you away. If this occurs, press and hold the brace button to minimize stamina depletion.
  • You can press the attack buttons to strike a monster’s body parts. Once you’ve opened a wound, press the corresponding prompt–i.e. R1, RB, or Left Shift, depending on your control scheme. This lets you perform a Focus Strike that causes tremendous damage.

Instead of directly attacking, you can keep maneuvering around the monster to locate its vulnerable areas for precise strikes. Additionally, you can make it collide with structures like walls, pillars, or any obstacles in its path, which could momentarily disorient or weaken it.

That concludes our tutorial on climbing monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. Keep in mind that your AI allies are also capable of scaling creatures, which could be beneficial if you’d rather engage from a distance.
