"Mastering Nerscylla: Capture Strategies in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Facing off against Nerscylla in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can be daunting, especially for those with arachnophobia, but conquering this giant spider is rewarding due to its high-affinity weapons. For fans who've seen the *Monster Hunter* film, Nerscylla might even evoke some eerie memories. So, let's dive into how to tackle this formidable foe.

How to Beat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Nerscylla is a beast to be reckoned with, boasting weaknesses to Fire and Thunder (once its mantle is broken), resistance to Sleep, and immunity to Sonic Bombs. This spider is not only fast and agile but also utilizes its webbing to pin you down, poison you with its bite, and induce sleep with its rear stinger. It's a master of status effect damage, so equipping yourself with antidotes for sleep and poison is crucial.

Watch out for two main types of attacks: the bite/pincer attacks and the web attacks. The bite attack involves Nerscylla rearing back with two protruding orange fangs before charging and slamming them shut, inflicting both poison and significant damage. The best defense is to move behind it or quickly retreat.

Web attacks include direct web shots or a sequence of three shots at different angles, which can immobilize you. Dodge these to stay free. Additionally, be prepared for Nerscylla's rapid horizontal charge and its Spider-Man-like swinging attack. Sidestepping or blocking can save you from these swift moves.

How to Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation and skill. Start by equipping yourself with a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs. While you technically need only one trap and two Tranq Bombs, having extras can be a lifesaver in the unpredictable world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Engage in combat and weaken Nerscylla until it's on the brink of collapse. You'll know it's time when it starts limping, your NPC teammates comment on its weakness, 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 secure your capture.
