Nerscylla's speed and web-slinging abilities make it a formidable opponent. Its arsenal includes poisonous bites, sleep-inducing stingers, and web attacks that can immobilize you. Always carry antidotes for poison and sleep, or risk a swift defeat.
Key Attacks to Watch Out For:
Nerscylla's attacks fall into two main categories:
-
Bite Attacks: This involves a rearing back, followed by a powerful forward slam with its fangs. This attack inflicts poison and substantial damage. The best counter is to quickly move behind it or evade completely.
-
Web Attacks: These attacks vary. One involves projectiles that can be dodged. Others involve rapid charges or aerial swipes, requiring precise dodging or blocking to avoid.
Capturing Nerscylla: A Strategic Approach
Capturing Nerscylla requires preparation and execution. Bring the necessary tools: Pitfall Trap, Shock Trap, and Tranq Bombs (though one trap and two bombs are technically sufficient, bringing extras is recommended).
Weaken Nerscylla until it limps, indicated by a skull icon on the mini-map and comments from NPC teammates. Once weakened, set a trap, lure Nerscylla into it, and deploy the Tranq Bombs for a successful capture.
