How to Beat and Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you're tackling *Monster Hunter Wilds* and need to conquer the fearsome Nerscylla, you're in the right place. This giant spider, notorious for its agility and terrifying arsenal of status effects, is not only a nightmare for arachnophobes but also a key source of high-affinity weapons. Here's your guide to beating and capturing this formidable foe.

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 agile beast uses webs to immobilize you, poisons with its bite, and can even put you to sleep with its rear stinger. It's crucial to bring antidotes for poison and items to counteract sleep effects.

Watch out for its two primary attack types: the bite and pincer attacks, and the web-based attacks. The bite attack features Nerscylla rearing back, showing orange fangs, and then charging forward to slam them shut. This inflicts poison and deals significant damage. Dodge to the side or move behind it to avoid this devastating move.

The web attacks are equally dangerous. Nerscylla can shoot webs directly at you or in a spread pattern. Getting webbed immobilizes you, so dodge to avoid this. Additionally, it can perform a rapid horizontal charge with webs, which you can block or dodge sideways. Another web attack has Nerscylla swinging up, mimicking Spider-Man, which you can also evade 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 only technically need one trap and two Tranq Bombs, it's wise to carry extras due to the unpredictable nature of battles in *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 weakened state, or a skull icon appears next to its marker on the mini-map. Once it's weak, set up a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and then throw two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture this monstrous spider.
