How to hunt Nerscylla
To defend against the poison, sleep, and binding effects of a Nerscylla's webbing, a hunter must go in duly prepared. While its powerful pincers are quite dangerous, they can and should be targeted as a weakness, provided they are approached correctly. The Gypceros hides draped on a Nerscylla's back are resistant to thunder but susceptible to fire—qualities that are reversed once the hide is destroyed.
Temnocerans that inhabit the Iceshard Cliffs. They weave vast, sticky webs across their territory, using them and various status ailments to corner prey before utilizing 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.
