If you're diving into *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll inevitably cross paths with Nerscylla, the giant spider that's both a source of high-affinity weapons and a potential nightmare for arachnophobes. Let's delve into how to effectively tackle and capture this formidable creature.
How to Beat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds
Nerscylla is a beast to be reckoned with, boasting a suite of dangerous abilities that can catch you off guard. Here's what you need to know:
- Weaknesses: Fire, Thunder (when its mantle is broken)
- Resistances: Sleep
- Immunities: Sonic Bomb
This colossal spider isn't just about brute force; it's agile, using its web to maneuver quickly and trap you. Its arsenal includes webbing to immobilize you, a poisonous bite, and a sleep-inducing rear stinger. These status effects can be devastating, so ensure you're equipped with antidotes for poison and sleep.
When facing Nerscylla, be on the lookout for its two primary attack types: bite/pincer attacks and web attacks. The bite attack is signaled by Nerscylla rearing back with its orange fangs protruding, followed by a forward charge and a slam that inflicts poison and massive damage. Your best bet is to move behind it or quickly run away.
For its web attacks, Nerscylla can shoot webs directly at you or in a spread pattern. Dodging is key here to avoid getting stuck. Additionally, it can charge at you horizontally or swing upwards like Spider-Man; both require you to dodge or block to the side effectively.
How to Capture Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds
Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation and precision. Here's what you'll need:
- A Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap
- Two Tranq Bombs
Before engaging, ensure you're equipped with these items. It's wise to bring extras, as things can get unpredictable in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Begin by battling Nerscylla until it's on the brink of defeat. Indicators of its weakened state include limping, comments from NPC teammates, and a small skull icon on the mini-map next to its marker. Once you see these signs, it's time to act:
- Set up your chosen trap in a strategic location.
- Lure Nerscylla into the trap.
- Once it's ensnared, throw two Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
With these strategies in mind, you'll be well-prepared to face and capture Nerscylla, turning a potential nightmare into a rewarding challenge in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
