Tips for defeating Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds

Here are some practical tips for defeating Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds:

• When wearing Gypceros hides, Nerscylla is susceptible to Fire elemental attacks but resistant to Thunder.
• Once the Gypceros hides are destroyed, this changes, and Nerscylla becomes vulnerable to Thunder attacks while resisting Fire.
• Thunder proves more effective once Nerscylla’s Mantle is broken.
• Nerscylla’s weak points are Pincer, Stinger, Mantle, and Left Claw.
• Even without access to Thunder or Fire, avoid using Water or Dragon elements on Nerscylla, as it resists these.
• Nerscylla is highly responsive to Paralysis, which can be induced using items or environmental tools.
• While less impactful than Paralysis, Nerscylla is also affected by Poison, Blastblight, Stun, and Exhaust.
• Pitfall Traps, Shock Traps, and Flash Pods work effectively against Nerscylla.
• Wear Poison, Sleep, and Webbed Resistant armor if possible.
• Carry Antidote, Herbal Medicine, and Herbal Powder for Poison.
• Use Energy Drink to counteract Sleep.
• Employ Cleanser for Webbed status; moving, pressing buttons, or receiving a hit can also remove this.
• Be cautious of the baby spiders that appear later in the fight; they can hinder your attacks.
• Nerscylla is vulnerable to attack when it performs its slower web sac move.
• After its Pincer clamp move, target the Pincer, as both stay stationary briefly afterward.
• Leverage the environment—use Sleeptoad and Flashflies to inflict a status effect, then strike when incapacitated.

Monster Hunter Wilds Nerscylla weak points

To defeat Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds, focus on its four weak points and use Fire and Thunder elemental attacks if feasible. Fire is effective, but Thunder is ineffective, when Nerscylla wears Gypceros hides. This reverses once the hides are destroyed.

Nerscylla’s four weak spots are: Pincer, Stinger, Mantle, and Left Claw. The Pincer is generally weak, while the Stinger, Mantle, and Left Claw can be broken. Attacking these spots with the appropriate element is the fastest way to bring Nerscylla down.

Keep in mind that Nerscylla resists Water and Dragon, so avoid using these elements.

Monster Hunter Wilds Nerscylla attacks

Key Nerscylla attacks to avoid include its Pincer clamp, web sacs, and claw swipe and stinger combo. Later in the fight, Nerscylla deploys small spiders; eliminate these quickly to prevent interruptions.

Nerscylla throws, spits, or drops web sacs. Always watch for them and evade promptly to avoid getting Webbed. If Webbed, use Cleanser, move, press buttons, or sustain a hit to remove the status.

Nerscylla is open to attack when it uses its slower web sac move. Afterward, you can deal extra damage.

The Pincer clamp move inflicts significant damage, but it benefits you, as targeting the Pincer after this move allows for an easy strike since both stay still briefly.

The claw swipe and stinger combo delivers heavy damage; always evade after each swipe to avoid the stinger lunge.

Later in the fight, Nerscylla uses a speedy web swing and a body slam, both dealing substantial damage. Evade or run away immediately upon seeing these moves.

Though less dangerous, Nerscylla can perform a speedy running attack and regular claw swipe throughout the battle.

When Nerscylla is severely injured, it flips onto its back. This is your chance to unleash powerful attacks while it’s defenseless.

Finally, utilize Sleeptoad and Flashflies in the environment to debilitate Nerscylla, then deliver your strongest blows during its incapacitation.
