Mastering Mounts in Monster Hunter Wilds! New Mounting Mechanics Explained

10:00 "It doesn't always pay off to finish on the monster's head. Sometimes, you might wanna finish on the monster's back." Lmao

[@LennartDorpmans]

Hands down the best moment of the video 10/10 I died laughing

[@Kurobeau]

hunter always a top

[@epsilon1372]

Mounting is probably the best it’s ever been. Love how it is in wilds

[@bunchacolors1501]

Yeah this game feels like MH4U-2 to me lol. Mounting is awesome, the game is flashy, the color palettes are very similar. Heck, we even have Chatacabra, who's super reminiscent of Tetsucabra

[@epsilon1372]

@@bunchacolors1501 I’ll be honest while I do like chatacabra, I still really hope we get tetsu, even if it takes the master rank expansion to get him

[@bencekrepuska1735]

@@epsilon1372 I too hope for its return. Played generations and it's one of my favorites. But it's mostly how good gen 4 monsters feel in that game

[@SummersFirefly]

Note for any interested: Attacking with your sword while mounting with the charge blade can build up phials. I imagine it’s the same for any similar weapons

[@BMuR13]

@@SummersFirefly that’s great in combination with weapon attacking into a wound while mounted giving you Savage Axe mode. As long as you’ve got your shield charged going into the mount- a single mounting session puts CB into its sweet spot (charged shield / full phials / savage axe) immediately.

[@plzno4229]

@@SummersFirefly yeah I’m pretty sure with switch axe it builds your sword meter!!

[@bassert2816]

This video was just an excuse for you to show of your SnS skills on 3 Chatacabras at once

[@rurikhan]

I recorded the audio before the gameplay actually. But fighting 3 chata abras was fun.

[@Dreadd81]

This might be the most suggestive video you’ve ever published 😂

[@MrSkizzem]

Oh! I like this series idea: Mastering Mechanics

[@metalgamer8179]

Mounting is sooo much better now - I though World took way too long and so this is great

[@Khandrake]

Thank you for answering some questions i had had about wounding during mounts

[@MasutaMJ]

Gameplay running smooth. I'm gonna play the beta again and try to defeat Rey Dau solo but without a cart.

[@Frvnklin]

It’s not that hard just think of it as a Rathalos/Rathian with new moves. You got this!

[@ironmaidenmetalgod]

It's surprisingly easy. I thought it was gonna be demo magnamalo again.

[@itsyaboiguzma]

Both super fun and easy to do bring a greatsword and you can offset nearly every attack Ray has except for the lightning strikes which can be perfect guarded. Its so satisfying

[@justalex4214]

If you have trouble, equip the full hope set for thunder res and divine blessing, eat for elemental resistance and you can also craft and drink an armor potion. Tested this setup and easily survived its oneshot beam with 50% health without divine blessing proccing.

[@s2wuolf508]

@@Frvnklin unironically yeah, the moves are very well telegraphed and the hitboxes of the attacks are at alatreon levels of precision as well

[@eriklarson6362]

What is the gauge/colored circle on the bottom left of the screen? What does it mean when it is blue/orange/red?

[@s2wuolf508]

Im assuming is progression levels to the mount finisher? Not sure though

[@Ar0474]

Goddamn bro, the wounds/focus strike mechanics are honestly my favorite Monster Hunter have had! Ive been going back to SnS a lot just because the focus strike feels so visceral stabbing into the monster!! The Great Sword as well dragging it across the wound!!

[@deviljoegaming]

I hate the evolution of mounting, i want the original minigame back. Mounting feels brainless now. Sure you will have to brace for some moves, but 90% of the time you just jump to a new part if the monster starts to struggle and you're fine. The old minigame felt so much more involved even if the minigame was simpler. With endgame monsters, the old mounting system was an actual challenge to topple the monster which in turn made it feel so much more rewarding

[@pLoory]

#first 🤩 Please keep up the great content... Thanks for all those amazing vids in Wilds! Shields up and Beste wishes from Germany!

[@martinhenning5725]

Always finish on de bach never on Debussy

[@b.b6656]

Wounds as finite ressource, but mounts as wound printing machine. Aerial IG would be too OP maybe.

[@lukerodrigues6955]

Insect Glaive is still aerial. You just can't spam the exact same attack anymore.

[@Godofantz]

With your regular stabs doing more damage its also nice to get as much damage while your up there.

[@Tigerblade11238]

Bad deal when you're mounted, run out of stamina and can't finish.

[@dhajetii2338]

Important detail/question - what happens in this one if your friends hit the monster you are on while you're mounted?

[@xenodrone3367]

if they hard knock/make it stumble you can be knocked off

[@dhajetii2338]

@xenodrone3367 ah ok, so same as World in that respect then

[@riemaennchen]

The only times I ever used the Bracing action in World/Iceborne were the Brute Wyvern long jumps.

[@natalironaldo]

Jho and Anjanath looove doing that

[@BreadNHoney]

Alatreon had that one attack you had to brace too

[@Enraric]

Can your friends attack the monster without shaking you off your mount? This is a key detail for people who hunt in groups.

[@huitui]

As long as they don't cause a knockdown you will stay mounted.

[@danny3120]

Nobody has mentioned the biggest advantage of wounds and that is teamwork and the encouragement for weapon variety. Notice how the best wounding weapons have the worst focus strikes? Mounting builds should actually never use focus strike when playing with others, instead let bow and bowgun users trigger the wounds that you open up. The meta is never again going to be something stupid like 4x long swords. Every weapon type actually has a proper place now, even at end game.

[@Terron29]

The more I played the more I loved the wound mechanic and mounting in this game. I do as hope they let me use my left stick to aim while in focus mode as claw grip is not for me though. Time will tell in final release. I also still hope the sound effects get more POW added to them. Overall really enjoyed the beta.

[@ratkingkingofrats1525]

Do you mind sharing your specs? I am planning on building my first pc soon as my pre built one isnt gonna cut it 😅

[@TgfkaTrichter]

Buy a Nvidia GPU, that seems to be very important.

[@epsilon1372]

So this is just as a side note, I don’t know your specs or anything, but this is just a beta, meaning that the performance is obviously gonna be improved on release. So if you already have really high specs, you don’t necessarily need to be worrying about performance right now

[@metalgamer8179]

If you want a total beast make sure to get a super strong CPU and usually nvidia GPU is the way to go

[@cosbusta]

"The head's always a popular place." Oh yeah.

[@jmrwacko]

@@cosbusta I prefer finishing on the back myself

[@LtSnuggs]

Does the bow not have a mounting attack in this one?

[@wickedryan5222]

Im a bow main i wonder if when u chrage your bow and do a evade and press triangle in the middle of evade it lets you do a jumping arrow shot, maybe it does moouting dmg??!

[@markk7082]

THANK YOU

[@wyrdplae8586]

So what does the colours of the symbol bottom left mean? Is it just time before the monster falls over? blue at the start, then yellow then red just before it goes down?

[@flapzax460]

@@wyrdplae8586 im assuming it’s like the finisher gauge when the monster’s on a tipping point (when it goes red then do the finisher)

[@Darkrow101]

Can ranged weapons also do mount attacks?

[@iamkoolguy]

yep

[@Darkrow101]

@iamkoolguy in the same way? Just attack the monster up close with a bow, for example, and if you do it enough times you mount the monster?

[@iamkoolguy]

@Darkrow101 you’ll have to be doing a MELEE jump attack, just shooting the monster won’t do mount damage. The bowguns both have a slam down attack while in the air, and bow has a manual jump that it can do after a Charged Sidestep

[@Darkrow101]

@@iamkoolguy i see thanks for the info!

[@shaunnaruto]

Pressing R1 repeatedly is weird hopefully we can configure the keys on ps5

[@sleazydz8111]

Am I the only one who thinks that the “Light attack” should be on Y/Triangle and the “Strong attack” on B/Circle? It feels weird to me that it’s reversed.

[@mileslangford838]

That's a strange IG you got there...

[@jessejones7251]

As someone who played 4th gen games but skipped World, am I to understand you can end the mount at any point by doing the mount-weapon attack? There's no gauge that builds up?

[@BaronSterling]

The wound system essentially replaces the old guage system, since you can only do the mounting finisher on an open wound.

[@epsilon1372]

Yes but it’s best to do it on an open wound

[@iHeartAMP]

@@jessejones7251 uh you need to play iceborne right now, it is fun AF

[@Teletha]

sex education gone wild

[@moonflare7070]

Mounting feels...too easy. So far the monsters have barely fought back. Spamming the strong attack puts them in an animation or something. Over and over again.

[@thedarkemissary]

It's a beta. Low rank. Divine Blessing 3 default. "Easy" was probably the goal for everything.

[@moonflare7070]

@thedarkemissary divine blessing has nothing to do with the mounting. Maybe low rank they get stunlocked easier or something

[@Sammysapphira]

​@@thedarkemissary nergigante in the mhw demo ate noobs

[@thedarkemissary]

@@moonflare7070 Yes. I know it has nothing to do with mounting. I'm saying, overall, the beta is very much geared for ease of access. The weapons are probably two/three levels above chatacabre as well.

[@epsilon1372]

I mean I don’t think mounting has ever been hard in any game, even before world. It’s always been easy to execute. At least now, it has more interesting implications than a knockdown

[@Arius_Astronomy]

I'd love to actually see what it looks like when I mount, but they screwed the pooch on the PC port and I am getting origami monsters despite meeting minimum requirements and exceeding it in certain areas. Aaaaaaah yelp I called it. DD2 repeat.

[@allroch681]

I'm not. They didn't. Or more accurately, YMMV because IT'S A BETA.

[@kururusoucho]

@@Arius_Astronomy try turning off frame generation

[@simonrockstream]

Feel like people need to stop watching tutorials months before the game is even out, and actually play the game themselfs and learn and discover, sorry but these videos feel so redundant and repetetive. We're going to get the exact same vids when the game releases.

[@KlumpusVT]

And yet... You're here 🤔

[@hiatusvita1570]

You are absolutely right, I spoiled so many games for myself and robbed myself from discovering stuff which is actually one of the best things games have to offer. I need to stop watching so much

[@nightmareunleash3402]

Counter point maybe most of the people watching are playing the beta that is currently out? And want more knowledge?

[@SeriousPeaches]

Hey remember when this guy said that MHW isnt DD2 and that it probably wont have the same performance issues? Funny how that turned out… and the game somehow runs worse unless you have 4090 7800x3d…

[@rurikhan]

Funny how the game runs better than DD2 on my 6900XT just like I predicted, and it’s still in beta. Funny that. Funny how I heard from plenty of people that don’t have 4090s and the game runs fine for them, how interesting. But most importantly, funny how you try to get a ‘gotcha’ on me because you expect a demanding game to run well on fucking toasters. The performance isn’t perfect, but it’s nowhere near the issues of DD2, it does however have some weird polygon issue going on in crappier GPUs which is why it’s called a fucking BETA.

[@epsilon1372]

I mean if this was on release, I could sympathize, but this is a free beta. The beta is SUPPOSED to help test performance issues across all consoles and PCs. A beta is supposed to help improve the game by the time it rolls around, not be a 100% accurate depiction of the full game at launch
