Conquering Nerscylla, the monstrous spider of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, is a must for any hunter. This fearsome arachnid not only drops high-affinity weapons but also serves as a memorable (and potentially nightmarish) challenge. Let's dissect this eight-legged beast and learn how to overcome it.

Resistances: Sleep
Immunities: Sonic Bomb
Nerscylla's speed, agility, and arsenal of status effects make it a formidable foe. Its web-slinging abilities can immobilize you, its bite inflicts poison, and its stinger induces sleep. Always carry antidotes for poison and sleep to mitigate these debilitating effects.
Nerscylla's attacks fall into two main categories: bite attacks and web attacks. The bite attack involves a powerful forward lunge with its fangs, inflicting significant poison damage. The best strategy is to circle around behind it or quickly evade. Web attacks are equally dangerous. It can shoot a single web or a volley of three. Dodge these projectiles to avoid being trapped. It also has two rushing web attacks: a quick horizontal charge (dodge or block) and a swinging aerial attack (sideways movement is key).
Capturing Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation. Bring a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs (though two traps and two bombs offer a safety net). Weaken Nerscylla until it limps and a skull icon appears on your mini-map. Then, set a trap, lure it in, and deploy the Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
