"Mastering Nerscylla Hunt in Monster Hunter Wilds"

If you're delving into *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll inevitably cross paths with Nerscylla, a giant spider that sends chills down the spine of many players. Not only is it a fearsome adversary due to its sheer size and terrifying appearance, but it's also a valuable source of high-affinity weapons. For those who've seen the *Monster Hunter* film, Nerscylla might even be the stuff of nightmares. Let's dive into how to effectively tackle this monstrous arachnid.

How to Beat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Nerscylla's weaknesses include Fire and Thunder (once its mantle is broken), while it resists Sleep and is immune to Sonic Bombs. This agile spider uses its web to immobilize you, poison you with its bite, and even put you to sleep with its rear stinger. It's a master of status effect damage, so come prepared with antidotes for sleep and poison to avoid being overwhelmed.

When facing Nerscylla, be wary of its two main types of attacks: bite/pincer attacks and web attacks. The bite attack is signaled by Nerscylla rearing back with its orange fangs protruding, followed by a forward charge and a slam that inflicts poison and massive damage. To evade this, position yourself behind the spider or simply run away swiftly.

Nerscylla's web attacks are equally dangerous. It can shoot webs directly at you or in a spread pattern, which can immobilize you if you're hit. Dodge these by moving out of the way. Additionally, watch out for its rapid horizontal charge and its Spider-Man-like swinging attack. Both can be avoided with timely dodging or blocking.

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 given the unpredictable nature 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, NPCs comment on its weakened state, or a skull icon appears next to its marker on the mini-map. Once Nerscylla is sufficiently weakened, set a trap, lure it in, and then use two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture this formidable foe.
