Temnocerans that inhabit the Iceshard Cliffs. They weave vast, sticky webs across their territory, using them and various status ailments to corner prey before utilising pincer-like jaws to finish it off. Sometimes dead Gypceros can be found in the webs, the hides of which Nerscylla are known to adorn themselves with after devouring the rest of the carcass.

Here are a few pointers on how to defeat a Nerscylla in Monster Hunter Wilds.

  • Nerscylla's main threats are various status effects, like poison and sleep. These can really screw you over as you try to deal with its fast movements, so ensure you're prepared for those effects.
  • One attack sees it extend its long pincers, and it'll keep them out for a few seconds. This is a weak point, so try to capitalise on the opportunity to deal damage.
  • Sometimes Nerscylla will suspend from the ceiling or crawl beneath the web floor, so watch out for vertical attacks.
