While top-tier weapons and gear are important, controlling the fight is paramount. Mounting offers a significant advantage. Several methods exist, with success depending on timing, damage dealt, the monster's resistance, and your chosen weapon.

Mounting is effective for both defeating and capturing monsters, adapting to your objectives.

Using High Cliffs or Ledges

The simplest method involves utilizing the environment. If the battlefield offers high cliffs, climb above the monster (quickly, before it follows!). Once positioned, time your leap onto the monster as it approaches. Maintain control during the mount with continuous knife and weapon attacks.
