In the world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, confronting Nerscylla, the massive spider known for its high-affinity weapons and nightmare-inducing appearance, is a challenge many hunters must face. This creature, possibly familiar to fans of the *Monster Hunter* film, is not just a fearsome foe but a key to some of the game's best gear. Let's dive into how to effectively take down and capture this formidable beast.

How to Beat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Nerscylla's weaknesses include Fire and Thunder (especially when its mantle is broken), while it resists Sleep and is immune to Sonic Bombs. This agile spider uses its web to immobilize you, poisons with its bite, and can even put you to sleep with its rear stinger. It's crucial to bring antidotes for poison and items to cure sleep to counteract its status effect onslaught.

When facing Nerscylla, be vigilant of its two main attack categories: bite/pincer attacks and web attacks. Its bite involves rearing back with two orange fangs before charging forward to snap them shut, causing both poison and significant damage. To evade, position yourself behind Nerscylla or swiftly retreat.

Web attacks are equally dangerous. Nerscylla can shoot web directly at you or in a spread pattern. Being caught in the web immobilizes you, so dodging is key. Additionally, be prepared for its rapid horizontal web charge, which requires a timely block or side dodge. The spider may also swing upwards like Spider-Man, and moving sideways can help you avoid this maneuver.

How to Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation and skill. Equip yourself with a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and at least two Tranq Bombs. While one trap and two bombs suffice, bringing extras can help manage the unpredictable nature of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Engage Nerscylla in combat, weakening it until it's near death. Signs of its weakened state include limping, NPC comments on its vulnerability, and a skull icon appearing next to its symbol on the mini-map. Once it's sufficiently weakened, set your trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and then use two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture this daunting spider.
