Nerscylla Weakness and Resistances

Weaknesses: Fire, Thunder (Mantle broken) Resistances: Sleep Immunities: Sonic Bomb

Nerscylla's arsenal includes swift attacks, web-slinging maneuvers, and debilitating status effects like poison and sleep. Always carry antidotes and remedies to counteract these effects.

Key Attacks to Watch Out For:

Nerscylla employs two primary attack styles:

  • Bite Attacks: This involves a powerful, poison-inflicting slam with its fangs. Evade by moving behind it or quickly escaping the area.

  • Web Attacks: These range from direct web shots (dodgeable) to rapid, horizontal charges and acrobatic swings (require blocking or precise dodging). Lateral movement is key to avoiding the latter.

Capturing Nerscylla

Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation and strategic execution:

  1. Gather Supplies: Equip yourself with a Pitfall Trap, a Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs (at least two). Over-preparation is recommended.

  2. Weaken the Beast: Engage Nerscylla and reduce its health significantly. Observe the mini-map for a skull icon indicating its weakened state. Limping is another visual cue.

  3. Set the Trap: Once weakened, strategically place a trap.

  4. Lure and Capture: Lure Nerscylla into the trap and deploy two Tranq Bombs to complete the capture.
