Nerscylla's speed, agility, and web-slinging abilities make it a dangerous opponent. Its attacks inflict poison and sleep, so be prepared with antidotes and remedies. Prioritize bringing items to cure these status effects to avoid significant setbacks.

Nerscylla's attacks fall into two main categories: bite attacks and web attacks. Its bite attack sees it rearing back, extending its fangs, and charging forward. This attack delivers substantial damage and poison. The best counter is to quickly move behind it or evade entirely.

Its web attacks are equally threatening. It can shoot a single web, or three in quick succession at varying angles. Dodging is key to avoiding being ensnared. It also has two web-based charge attacks; one is a horizontal rush, requiring a block or side-dodge, and the other is a swinging attack 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 one trap and two bombs suffice, it's wise to overprepare given the unpredictable nature of *Monster Hunter Wilds* hunts.

Weaken Nerscylla until it limps and its mini-map icon displays a skull. This indicates it's ready for capture. Place a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and then deploy two Tranq Bombs to secure the capture.
