Ledge, slide and wall attack usually do mount damage.

You need to jump off a wall or ledge and then main attack so left click. DB does pretty low aerial damage so mounting with DB is pretty hard. Only ranged weapons have similar or worse mounting troubles.

[Suzaku]

Mounting attacks are typically any downward strike a weapon performs while falling or when jumping off of walls that you can run up. I think dual blades only mounting attack is from jumping off a ledge, and it's not very strong, meaning it's both limited and worse than most other weapons.

Note that mounting functions like a status, meaning it occurs after surpassing a threshold, and that threshold increases with each successful occurance.

I used to mount a lot with DB, you can also grab a gliding mantle, grapple onto a monster, jump off(this won't allow you to mount) but gliding then jumping out of glide will. This mantle thing works on every weapon I believe, never tried with ranged but I also never mount with ranged weapons anyway.

When sheathed you just sprint at them.

When unsheathed it depends on the weapon, and some weapons can't use with them while unsheathed (GS, LS, HH, SA, IG, LBG, HBG). Those that do require you to either:

Dodge/Dash:
Bow
DB (in demon mode)

or Attack towards them:
SnS: Advancing Slash
GL: Lunging Upthrust
Lance: Charge
CB: Forward Slash
DB: Lunging Strike or Demon Flurry Rush

Then there is Hammer, where you can just hold a charge and run at it.

We should mention that you can only wall jump at specific wall tiles. Every map has a other layout. Cant describe it. May a other dude explain it better. but a simple yt video should show you instantly how they look like.

dual blade is awful for mounting.-.

[Squidvasion]

You can't mount while in demon mode either by the way. When you're in demon mode, your aerial attack turns into the move where you try and anime spin down the length of the monster, or you can use it to do the turn dive mid air attack, which to my knowledge wont trigger a mount.

As far as I know, you can only mount by doing the weak air attack in normal mode.

[GladiatorDragon]

Mounting is a job that should probably be left to weapons with better air attacks, like the Greatsword, and especially Insect Glaives. If you're playing solo, if you attack while sliding or mid-air, you will deal mount damage. That being said, Dual Blades is probably the worst weapon for mounting due to it having an incredibly low range.

It looks like little tiny ledges all sticking out over one another. In the forest it's a vertical mushroom colony, etc. Hard to describe accurately, but once you know what to look for you'll see it all over the place.
