"Guide: Defeating and Capturing Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds"

If you're diving into the world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll likely encounter the formidable Nerscylla—a giant spider that's not only a nightmare for arachnophobes but also a prime target for those seeking high-affinity weapons. Known for its terrifying presence in the *Monster Hunter* film, mastering the art of defeating Nerscylla is essential for any hunter looking to conquer this beast.

How to Beat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Weaknesses: Fire, Thunder (When mantle is broken)
Resistances: Sleep
Immunities: Sonic Bomb

This enormous spiky spider is a force to be reckoned with. Its agility and speed, enhanced by its web abilities, make it a challenging foe. Nerscylla can immobilize you with webbing, poison you with its bite, and even put you to sleep with its rear stinger. Its arsenal of status effect attacks demands that you come prepared with antidotes for sleep and poison to avoid being overwhelmed.

When facing Nerscylla, you need to be wary of its two primary attack types. The first are its bite or pincer attacks, characterized by the spider rearing back with two orange fangs before lunging forward to snap them shut. This attack not only inflicts poison but also delivers a hefty dose of damage. To evade this, position yourself behind the spider or simply retreat quickly.

The second set of attacks involves its web. Nerscylla can shoot web directly at you or in a spread of three angles, one after the other. Being hit by the web will immobilize you, but you can dodge these attacks to stay free. Additionally, watch out for its rapid horizontal web charge and its Spider-Man-like swinging attack, both of which require you to either block or dodge to the side effectively.

How to Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

To capture Nerscylla, thorough preparation is key. Equip yourself with a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs. While you technically need only one trap and two Tranq Bombs, bringing extras can save you from potential mishaps in the unpredictable world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Engage Nerscylla in combat and weaken it until it's on the brink of defeat. You'll know it's time when it starts limping, your NPC teammates comment on its weakened state, or a small skull appears next to its icon on the mini-map. Once it's sufficiently weakened, set a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and then use two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture this fearsome spider.
