How to fix Seikret control settings in Monster Hunter Wilds
One of the more frustrating aspects in all of Monster Hunter Wilds is trying to control the useful but annoying Seikret. The bird will just take off running in a random direction whenever you hop on its back, which leads to confusion and a desire to manually take over. To see how to fix your Seikret controls and the best settings to use in Monster Hunter Wilds, keep reading. What's wrong with the Seikret's controls in Monster Hunter Wilds? The main issue that players have with the Seikrets in Monster Hunter Wilds is that they seem to start sprinting in whatever direction they please. This is in spite of whatever waypoint you have set or even if you try to take the reins and control the mount yourself. It often feels like the Seikret has a mind of its own and is leading you to where it feels is the best place to go, regardless of what's going on in the game. Seikrets make exploration easier in Monster Hunter Wilds, but only if you use them properly. Screenshot by Destructoid I've been on numerous hunts and main story quests where I need my Seikret to go in a specific direction and when I call it, the bird takes off in the opposite direction. Then, after some wrangling with the controls, I eventually get the Seikret to go in the direction I want. This process takes far too long and is quite the headache, though, so how do you fix the Seikret's settings? Best Seikret control settings in Monster Hunter Wilds Well, by default, the Seikret is set to fully take over automatic control whenever you hop on its back. Fortunately, you can change this setting by going to the main menu in Monster Hunter Wilds, going to the Options menu, tabbing over to the "Controls" section, and then scrolling down until you reach the Seikret settings on page two. Here, you can change the "Seikret Manual Controls" from Type 1 to Type 2. Type 1 is enabled by default and it makes the Seikret go in a specific direction even when you don't press a single movement command. This setting also makes it more difficult to control the Seikret even when you do press movement commands. The Seikret Manual Controls option can be changed in the Controls settings.

This makes it feel like you're controlling a traditional mount, or even yourself on foot, rather than following a clueless bird who doesn't know which way it's going. The Type 2 setting also makes the Seikret stop running as soon as you hop on its back. Instead, you're given a brief second to press a movement command, which makes the Seikret run in that direction. However, if you truly want the Seikret to stop trying to explore the map as soon as you stop pressing movement commands, there's another setting you want to change in Monster Hunter Wilds. If you go to page three of the Game Settings section in the Options menu, you'll find another Seikret setting called "Seikret Auto-Explore." By default, this setting is enabled, because of course it is. You can turn the setting off, though, and this makes the Seikret stop automatically moving when you haven't pressed a movement command. Changing the Seikret Auto-Explore option to off in the Game Settings menu. Screenshot by Destructoid This works when you don't have a waypoint set on the map. If you have a waypoint set, it's often better to let the Seikret take control so you can sit back and wait until you've arrived at your destination. Just roaming around the map doesn't need the Seikret to take full control, though, so turning this setting off allows you to have control during free exploration times in Monster Hunter Wilds. There are other Seikret settings you can change in the Options menu, such as the way your Seikret is called or how it's presented in the Radial Menu, but the two settings I've mentioned are the ones you really want to hone in on. Those will make your Seikret feel much more intuitive and responsive in Monster Hunter Wilds and not so much like you're riding an automatic car that doesn't take commands. That's all we have on the best Seikret settings in Monster Hunter Wilds. Hopefully, your experience exploring the Forbidden Lands is a much more pleasant and less frustrating one.
