Nerscylla's speed and agility, combined with its potent status effects, demand respect. Its arsenal includes venomous bite attacks, capable of inflicting significant damage and poisoning you. To avoid these, swiftly move behind it or maintain a safe distance. Its web attacks are equally dangerous. It can shoot webs directly at you, in a three-shot volley, or charge at you with webbing. Dodging and blocking are essential for survival. Another web attack sees Nerscylla swinging down from above; sideways movement is key to evasion.

Bring antidotes for poison and sleep to mitigate its status effects, and prepare for a challenging fight.
