"Defeat and Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds: Strategies Revealed"

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 20,2025

If you're gearing up to face Nerscylla in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, prepare yourself for a challenging battle against this colossal spider. Known for haunting nightmares, especially among fans of the *Monster Hunter* film, Nerscylla is not just any monster—it's a prime source for high-affinity weapons. Let's dive into how to conquer this agile, web-slinging beast.

How to Beat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Nerscylla's weaknesses include Fire and Thunder (especially when its mantle is broken), but it's resistant to Sleep and immune to Sonic Bombs. This fast and agile monster can immobilize you with webs, poison you with its bite, and even put you to sleep with its rear stinger. It's a master of status effects, so come prepared with antidotes for sleep and poison to stay in the fight.

Watch out for two main types of attacks: its bite or pincer attacks, and its web-based assaults. When Nerscylla prepares to bite, you'll see its orange fangs protrude as it lunges forward to snap them shut. This attack inflicts poison and deals significant damage. To evade, quickly move behind it or run away.

Nerscylla's web attacks are equally dangerous. It can shoot webs directly at you or in a spread pattern. If hit, you'll be immobilized, but you can dodge to avoid this. Be ready for its horizontal web charge, which is swift and requires you to block or dodge sideways. Additionally, it can swing up like Spider-Man, and again, moving sideways is your best bet for evasion.

Capturing Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation and skill. Equip yourself with a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs—bring extras of each to account for potential mishaps. Engage Nerscylla in battle and weaken it until it's on the brink of collapse. You'll know it's ready when it starts limping, your NPC teammates comment on its weakened state, or a small skull appears on the mini-map next to its icon.

Once Nerscylla is sufficiently weakened, deploy a trap and lure it into the trap. Then, quickly throw two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture this formidable spider. With the right strategy and preparation, you'll overcome Nerscylla's challenges and secure those coveted high-affinity weapons.
