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

Nerscylla's speed and agility, combined with its potent status effects (poison and sleep), make it a dangerous opponent. Always bring antidotes and remedies to counter these debilitating effects. Failing to do so will significantly hamper your chances of success.

Nerscylla's attacks fall into two main categories: bite attacks and web attacks. Its bite attacks, delivered with powerful fangs, inflict both poison and substantial damage. The best tactic is to evade these by circling behind it or maintaining a safe distance.

Its web attacks are equally dangerous. Nerscylla can either shoot webs directly at you, in a single shot or a three-part volley, or charge at you with webs, either horizontally or in a swinging, acrobatic attack. Dodging and timely blocks are crucial to avoid being ensnared.

Capturing Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation and precise execution. Gather the necessary tools: Pitfall Trap, Shock Trap (you only need one trap type, but two are recommended), and Tranq Bombs (at least two). Thorough preparation significantly increases your chances of success.

Weaken Nerscylla until it limps and its icon on the mini-map displays a skull. Once it's near death, strategically place your trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and swiftly deploy the Tranq Bombs to secure the capture. Remember, timing and preparation are key to a successful hunt.
