If you're gearing up to face Nerscylla in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you're in for a challenging battle against this giant, terrifying spider. Not only is it a formidable foe that can induce nightmares, but it's also a prime source for high-affinity weapons, making it a crucial target for any seasoned hunter. Let's dive into the strategies you'll need to conquer this arachnid menace.
How to Beat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds
Nerscylla's strengths are as daunting as its appearance. It's fast, agile, and can manipulate webs to trap you, poison you with its bite, or even put you to sleep with its rear stinger. This monster is a master of status effects, and you'll need to be prepared. Bring antidotes for poison and something to wake you up from sleep, or you're in for a rough fight.
When it comes to Nerscylla's attacks, be wary of two main categories. The first are its bite or pincer attacks, signaled by the spider rearing back with two orange fangs before charging and slamming them together. This attack not only poisons but also deals heavy damage. Your best bet is to move behind Nerscylla or simply run away to avoid this devastating move.
The second set of attacks involves its web-based assaults. Nerscylla can shoot webs directly at you or in a spread pattern. Getting caught in these webs can immobilize you, but dodging at the right moment can keep you free. Additionally, watch out for its web-charging attacks: one is a swift horizontal charge that requires you to block or dodge sideways, and the other has Nerscylla swinging up and sideways, which you can evade by moving laterally.
How to Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing Nerscylla is no small feat and requires thorough preparation. Start by equipping yourself with the right tools: a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs. Although you technically need only one trap and two Tranq Bombs, it's wise to carry extras due to the unpredictable nature of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Engage Nerscylla in combat and weaken it until it's on the brink of collapse. 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 Nerscylla is sufficiently weakened, set up your trap, lure it in, and then use two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture this fearsome creature.
