How to Beat and Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Facing Nerscylla in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can be a daunting task, especially if you have a fear of spiders. This colossal arachnid is not only a nightmare fuel for those who've watched the *Monster Hunter* film, but also a valuable source of high-affinity weapons. Let's dive into how you can conquer this terrifying beast.

How to Beat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Nerscylla's weaknesses include Fire and Thunder (especially when its mantle is broken), but it resists Sleep and is immune to Sonic Bombs. This monster is a formidable foe, known for its speed, agility, and web-based abilities. It can immobilize you with webbing, poison you with its bite, and even put you to sleep with its rear stinger. To counter these threats, always carry antidotes for poison and sleep cures.

Be vigilant of Nerscylla's two main types of attacks: bite/pincer attacks and web attacks. The bite attacks are signaled by the monster rearing back with two orange fangs protruding, followed by a forward charge and a slam that inflicts poison and heavy damage. To avoid this, quickly move behind Nerscylla or run away.

Web attacks come in various forms: direct web shots, triple web shots at different angles, and web-based charges. The direct and triple shots can stick you in place if they hit, so dodge them effectively. The horizontal web charge is fast and requires you to either block or dodge to the side. The vertical web swing, reminiscent of Spider-Man, can be evaded with sideways movement.

How to Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation and precision. Equip yourself with a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs. While you technically need only one trap and two Tranq Bombs, it's wise to bring extras due to the unpredictable nature of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Engage Nerscylla in combat until it's nearly defeated. You'll know it's close to capture when it starts limping, NPCs comment on its weakness, or a small skull appears next to its icon on the mini-map. Once Nerscylla is sufficiently weakened, set a trap, lure it in, and throw two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture this fearsome spider.
