Conquering Nerscylla, the monstrous spider in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, is crucial for obtaining high-affinity weapons and avoiding some truly terrifying nightmares (especially if you saw the movie!). This agile arachnid is a formidable foe, wielding poison, sleep, and webbing to ensnare its prey. Prepare for a challenging hunt!

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

Nerscylla's speed and agility, combined with its potent status effects, demand respect. Bring antidotes for poison and sleep; otherwise, you'll be in for a rough time. Its attacks fall into two main categories:

Bite Attacks: Nerscylla rears back, revealing its orange fangs before lunging forward with a powerful bite. This attack inflicts poison and significant damage. The best defense is to circle behind it or quickly evade.

Web Attacks: Nerscylla can shoot webs directly at you, launch three in quick succession at different angles, or charge at you horizontally or swing down from above. Dodging is key to avoiding these attacks. Sideways movement is particularly effective against its aerial attacks.

To capture Nerscylla, preparation is key. Bring Pitfall Traps, Shock Traps, and Tranq Bombs. While technically one trap and two bombs suffice, it's safer to overprepare. Weaken Nerscylla until it limps and a skull icon appears on your mini-map, indicating its weakened state. Then, set a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and deploy two Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
