Conquering Nerscylla, the monstrous spider in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, is a must for any hunter. Not only is it a formidable foe, but it also yields valuable high-affinity weapons. Let's dissect this eight-legged nightmare and learn how to overcome it.

Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Weaknesses: Fire, Thunder (Mantle Broken)
Resistances: Sleep
Immunities: Sonic Bomb

Nerscylla's speed, agility, and array of status effects make it a dangerous opponent. Its web attacks can immobilize you, its bites inflict poison, and its stinger induces sleep. Always carry antidotes for poison and sleep to mitigate these debilitating effects.

Its attacks fall into two main categories: bite attacks and web attacks. The bite attacks involve a powerful forward slam with its fangs, inflicting significant damage and poison. The best strategy is to evade by moving behind it or sprinting away. Web attacks range from direct shots to multi-directional volleys. Dodging is crucial to avoid being trapped. Additionally, be wary of its swift horizontal web charge and its acrobatic, sideways swinging attack; both require quick reflexes and precise dodging.

Capturing Nerscylla

To capture Nerscylla, preparation is key. Bring a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs. While one trap and two bombs are technically sufficient, bringing extra is advisable for a smoother capture. Weaken Nerscylla until it limps and a skull icon appears on the mini-map. Then, strategically place a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and deploy the Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
