Conquer Nerscylla: Monster Hunter Wilds Guide

by Caleb Mar 13,2025

Conquering Nerscylla, the monstrous spider of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, is a must for any hunter seeking high-affinity weapons (and maybe conquering a few nightmares inspired by the *Monster Hunter* movie). This agile arachnid is a formidable foe, utilizing speed, webbing, and potent status effects to inflict poison and sleep. Prepare for a challenging hunt!

Weaknesses: Fire, Thunder (when mantle is broken)
Resistances: Sleep
Immunities: Sonic Bomb

Nerscylla's arsenal includes devastating attacks. Its bite attacks—a swift lunge with its orange fangs—inflict poison and substantial damage. Evade these by moving behind or quickly away from the spider. Its web attacks are equally dangerous. Watch out for direct web shots, three-shot bursts, and rapid horizontal or swinging charges. Dodging and blocking are crucial for survival.

Capturing Nerscylla

To capture Nerscylla, preparation is key. Bring Pitfall Traps, Shock Traps, and Tranq Bombs (at least one trap and two bombs, though extra is always recommended). Weaken Nerscylla until it limps, indicated by NPC comments and a skull icon on the mini-map. Once weakened, set a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and deploy your Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
