While superior weapons and gear are important, controlling the fight is paramount. Mounting offers a significant advantage. Success depends on precise timing, damage output, the monster's mount resistance, and your weapon choice. Mounting is also a key strategy for both defeating and capturing monsters.

Mounting Strategies

This straightforward method utilizes environmental advantages. If the battleground offers high cliffs, quickly climb before the monster follows. Time your leap onto the monster as it approaches below, then utilize weapon attacks while mounted to maintain control.
