Defeating and Capturing Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide

If you're diving into the world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll inevitably encounter the terrifying Nerscylla, a giant spider that's not just a challenge but also a source of high-affinity weapons. And let's not forget, for those who've seen the *Monster Hunter* film, this creature might haunt your dreams. Let's dive deep into understanding and defeating this formidable foe.

How to Beat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Nerscylla is not just any monster; it's a fast and agile adversary, thanks to its web-slinging abilities. It can immobilize you with its webbing, poison you with its bite, and even put you to sleep with its rear stinger. This spider is a master of status effects, making it essential to come prepared with antidotes for sleep and poison.

When facing Nerscylla, you need to be wary of two primary attack types: the bite and the web attacks. The bite or pincer attack is signaled by the spider rearing back and exposing two orange fangs. It then charges forward, slamming them together, which not only poisons you but also deals significant damage. The best strategy to avoid this is to maneuver behind Nerscylla or quickly retreat.

The web attacks are equally dangerous. Nerscylla can shoot webs directly at you or in a spread pattern, trapping you if you're hit. Dodging is key here. Additionally, be prepared for its rapid horizontal web charge, which you can either block or sidestep. Another move to watch out for is when Nerscylla swings upward like Spider-Man, which you can evade by moving sideways.

How to Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Nerscylla requires careful preparation. You'll need a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs. While one trap and two Tranq Bombs are technically sufficient, bringing extras is wise due to the unpredictable nature of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Engage Nerscylla in combat until it's nearly defeated. You'll know it's time when it starts limping, your NPC teammates comment on its weakness, or you see a small skull icon on the mini-map. Once Nerscylla is sufficiently weakened, set your trap, lure it in, and use two Tranq Bombs to secure your capture.

Nerscylla's weaknesses include Fire and Thunder (especially after breaking its mantle), while it resists Sleep and is immune to Sonic Bombs. Armed with this knowledge, you're better equipped to tackle and capture this fearsome spider in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
