Monster Hunter Wilds: Nerscylla Complete Fight Guide

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the unsettling Temnoceran, Nerscylla, makes a terrifying return. Originally from Monster Hunter 4, this arachnid-like insect boasts formidable pincers and a range of unsettling attacks. Conquering Nerscylla requires strategy and adaptability.

First encountered in the Iceshard Cliffs while rescuing the philosophical Lynian, Rove, Nerscylla expertly uses its environment. Its deceptive attacks, coupled with various status ailments and shifting defenses, pose a significant challenge. However, with careful planning, victory is achievable.

Nerscylla: Strengths and Weaknesses

Nerscylla's swift movements, deceptive attacks, and diverse status ailments make it a unique foe. Its size also makes targeting vulnerable areas difficult with smaller weapons. However, there are exploitable weaknesses:

• Weak Point: Retractable Pincers
• Elemental/Ailment Weakness: Fire (before mantle break), Thunder (after mantle break), Paralysis
• Elemental/Ailment Resistance: Water, Dragon, Sleep; Thunder (on many parts before mantle break)
• Best Weapon Types: Blunt weapons for tough areas, cutting weapons for softer areas, ranged weapons for the stinger

Nerscylla's adaptability is key. Its claws are incredibly durable, and its mantle negates thunder damage, while fire effectiveness diminishes after the mantle is broken. Its varied status effects demand a versatile approach. The exposed pincers during its attack, however, offer a prime opportunity for significant damage using Focus attacks.

Recommended Equipment

Preparing for Nerscylla requires careful consideration. The choice between fire and thunder elements, and the targeting of claws versus softer areas, demands strategic planning. Prioritizing a single strategy maximizes defense.

The Comaqchi Accessory provides sleep resistance, mitigating the stinger's effect. The Rompopolo armor set offers poison resistance against the pincers. Combining these sets or using the full Rompopolo set provides enhanced protection.

Weapon sharpness is crucial, especially for cutting weapons. Nerscylla's tough claws demand high sharpness for effective damage, particularly when aiming for the head. Charge Blades can circumvent this with sword power-ups, but other cutting weapons require maintaining high sharpness. Aim for at least blue sharpness.

Nerscylla's Attacks and Counters

Despite its size, Nerscylla moves incredibly fast, seamlessly transitioning between attacks and using webs for quick repositioning. Its status effects are the most significant threat, demanding constant mobility to evade its sudden attacks.

Move	Description	Counter
Claw Swipe	A quick slash.	Easily withstood with a shield or hyper armor.
Stinger Stab	A downward stab inflicting sleep.	Move out of the way to avoid being underneath when it rears up.
Web Shot	A volley of webs that briefly immobilizes.	Close the distance to attack during recovery.
Pincer Attack	A rushing attack inflicting poison.	Dodge at the last second or block with high Guard skill. Use Focus attacks.
Slam Attack	A body slam.	Easily dodged, providing an opening to attack.
Web Dash	Uses webs to reposition.	Dodge but stay close to attack during cooldown.
Web Swing	Swings from webs, landing with a powerful attack.	Dodge but stay close to attack during cooldown.
Web Dive	A surprise attack from its nest.	Stun it while crawling for an attack opportunity.
Web Grab	Grabs from a web in its nest.	Use Slinger ammo to knock it down.

Unlike Lala Barina, Nerscylla relies heavily on webs for mobility and trapping. This enhances its mobility but leaves it vulnerable when not using webs. The stinger and pincers are its most dangerous attacks, though the stinger is easily dodged, and the pincers are easily countered with Focus attacks.

Nerscylla's Drops and Materials

Nerscylla is available in Low and High Rank, with consistent drop locations. Focus attacks on the claws, mantle, and stinger yield rarer materials.
