Conquering Nerscylla, the monstrous spider in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, is crucial for obtaining high-affinity weapons and avoiding some truly terrifying nightmares (especially if you saw the movie!). This agile arachnid is a formidable foe, combining speed, web-slinging attacks, poison bites, and sleep-inducing stingers. Prepare for a challenging fight; bring antidotes for poison and sleep, or you'll be in for a rough time.

Nerscylla's attacks fall into two main categories: bite/pincer attacks and web attacks. The bite attacks involve a rearing back, followed by a forward lunge with its orange fangs. This inflicts poison and significant damage. The best defense is to quickly move behind it or evade entirely.

Web attacks are equally dangerous. Nerscylla can either shoot a single web directly at you, or unleash three in quick succession at different angles. Dodging is key here. Additionally, it can charge at you horizontally with webbing, requiring a block or quick sidestep. Finally, it can swing down from above like a spider-man, easily avoided with sideways movement.

Capturing Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

To capture Nerscylla, preparation is paramount. Bring a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs. While technically you only need one trap and two bombs, it’s best to overprepare in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Weaken Nerscylla until it limps; you'll see a skull icon appear on the minimap. Once weakened, set a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and throw two Tranq Bombs to secure the capture.
