Monster Hunter 4: 8 Crucial Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

7. Climb Walls Without Sheathing Your Weapon

When you find yourself caught between an enraged Gore Magala and a hard place, stopping to put your weapon away before climbing away from the danger that's screaming in your face is about as useful as an ejection seat on a helicopter. Luckily there's a workaround for this - instead of sheathing your weapon, simply press B to roll at the wall and then press A to start climbing it. Who knows, if you're particularly cunning you may be able to press A to quickly jump off the wall and mount the monster. When done right, this move can look undeniably epic and may save you from the fate of becoming some dastardly creature's mid-afternoon snack.
