So the mounting system is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it, nothing too crazy with quantum physics or anything like that. Basically, you wanna get airborne and land some jump attacks on the monster, which you can do by hopping off ledges or using something like the insect glaive if thats your thing. The seikret is also super useful for this, since you can dismount and go straight into a mounting attack.

What's interesting is how it all works with this hidden meter system, kinda like building up status effects. You keep landing those aerial hits and eventually, youll trigger the whole mounting sequence which is pretty fun to pull off. Once youre actually on the monster you can move around to different spots like the head or tail, and you've got options for what to do up there.

I usually go for the knife attacks to create some weak points, but you can also use your weapon for bigger damage if youre feeling confident. Just keep in mind that'll end your mount early so maybe save it for when your team is ready to capitalize. The real payoff comes when you drain the monsters stamina enough to knock it down, thats when everyone can really go wild with damage.

Tip: if youre having trouble getting mounts try finding some higher ground first or stick close to your seikret. Makes the whole process way more reliable and you dont need to worry about any fancy physics theories or anything just good old monster hunting basics.
