This eight-legged terror is nothing short of intimidating. Its speed and agility, enhanced by its web-spinning prowess, make it a relentless foe. It can immobilize you with sticky webbing, poison you with its venomous bite, and even lull you to sleep with its rear stinger. Nerscylla is a master of status effects, so always carry antidotes and sleep herbs to stay prepared.
Key Attacks to Watch Out For
Nerscylla’s arsenal consists of two main types of attacks. First, there are its biting and pincer strikes. When these fangs emerge from its body, you’ll notice an ominous glow. Stay clear by moving behind it or running away swiftly. These attacks pack a punch and can inflict poison, so evasion is key.
Second, beware of its web-based assaults. Nerscylla can shoot webs directly at you or release them in a spread pattern. If caught in its web, you’ll be immobilized, so dodge accordingly. Additionally, watch out for its web charges. One comes in a quick horizontal sweep—you’ll need to block or sidestep. The other has it leaping like Spider-Man, so move laterally to evade.
How to Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation and precision. Start by equipping the right tools: a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs. While two Tranq Bombs alone might suffice, having extra traps ensures success in case things go awry.
Weaken Nerscylla by depleting its health until it starts limping. The mini-map will confirm this with a skull icon appearing above its marker. Once weakened, set a trap, lure the monster into it, and toss two Tranq Bombs to secure your prize. Happy hunting!
