Nerscylla's speed, agility, and web-slinging abilities make it a dangerous opponent. Its attacks inflict poison and sleep, demanding preparedness. Always carry antidotes and remedies for these status effects.
Its attacks fall into two main categories: bite attacks and web attacks. The bite attack sees Nerscylla rear back, revealing its fangs, before charging forward for a powerful, poison-inflicting strike. The best defense is to quickly move behind it or evade entirely.
Nerscylla's web attacks are equally threatening. It can shoot a single web or a volley of three. Getting caught in the web leaves you vulnerable, so dodging is key. Other web attacks involve a swift horizontal charge and a Spider-Man-esque swing. Sideways movement effectively counters both.

Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation. Bring Pitfall Traps, Shock Traps, and Tranq Bombs. While one trap and two bombs suffice, bringing extras ensures a smoother capture.
Weaken Nerscylla until it limps and a skull icon appears on the minimap. Then, set a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and deploy the Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
