Conquering Nerscylla, the monstrous spider in *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, so let's dissect its terrifying tactics.

Nerscylla's speed and agility, combined with its web-slinging and venomous attacks, make it a truly dangerous opponent. Its bite inflicts poison, and its stinger can put you to sleep. Always carry antidotes and remedies for these status effects.
Nerscylla's attacks fall into two main categories: bite and web attacks. The bite attack sees Nerscylla rear back, exposing its fangs, before lunging forward for a powerful, poison-inflicting strike. The best defense is to evade to the rear or quickly retreat. Web attacks are equally hazardous. Nerscylla can either shoot a single web or a volley of three at different angles. Getting caught will leave you immobilized, so dodging is key. It also charges horizontally with webbing or swings down like a spider-man, both requiring quick dodges or blocks to avoid.
Capturing Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation. Bring a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs (though one trap and two bombs are technically sufficient, bringing extras is always wise). Weaken Nerscylla until it limps, indicated by a skull icon on your minimap and NPC comments. Once weakened, set your trap, lure Nerscylla in, and toss your Tranq Bombs to secure the capture.
