The simplest way to mount a monster is by utilizing high cliffs or ledges if the environment permits. Climb up a cliffside that's higher than the monster. If possible, do this quickly before the monster notices, unless it's distracted by your allies like your Palico or other players.

Wait for the monster to position itself beneath the ledge, then leap onto it at the perfect moment. While mounted, use your knife and weapon attacks to maintain control as long as possible.

For those favoring ranged weapons like the Bow, the Seikret dismount attack is an effective method. While riding your Seikret, approach the monster and perform an aerial slash attack as you dismount. This maneuver can give you a chance to mount the monster immediately after.

If you're a melee weapon enthusiast, particularly using the Insect Glaive with its aerial capabilities, this method is for you.
