Nerscylla's arsenal includes potent status effects. Be prepared to counter poison and sleep, or you'll find yourself in a sticky situation. Key attacks to watch for include:

Bite Attacks: Nerscylla rears back, revealing its fangs before lunging forward. This attack inflicts poison and significant damage. Dodge behind it or quickly evade to avoid this devastating move.

Web Attacks: Nerscylla can shoot webs directly at you or unleash a volley of three in different directions. Dodging is key to avoiding getting stuck. Other web attacks involve a rapid horizontal charge (dodge or block) and a sideways swinging maneuver (sideways movement will help you evade).

Capturing Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation. Bring Pitfall Traps, Shock Traps, and Tranq Bombs (though one trap and two bombs are technically sufficient, it's best to over-prepare). Weaken Nerscylla until it limps and a skull icon appears on your mini-map. Then, set a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and use Tranq Bombs to secure the capture.
