There are more creatures to hunt in Monster Hunter Wilds. One of them is the known arachnoid family, Temnocerans, which makes up a small percentage of the game’s roster. Despite this, these spider-like creatures will take you on a thrilling hunt. Here is the complete list of Monster Hunter Wilds Temnoceran Monsters. 

What Are Temnocerans?

Monster Hunter Wilds introduced Temnoceran monsters with a spider-like appearance, setting themselves apart from other classifications. They usually have multiple legs and their bodies resemble the arachnids family. These are more known to produce and discharge webbing or silk compared to Neopterons or beetle-like creatures and Carapaceons, the crustacean-like. 

Also, Temnoceran monsters are highly known as mobile creatures in Monster Hunter Wilds with impressive agility. Hunters will need to chase them down as these monsters inflict various status effects. Antidotes and similar items are essential to effectively survive against these creatures.

1. Lala Barina (Large Temnoceran)

This Temnoceran monster appears unique with its six legs and flower-like appearance. Players usually encounter this monster in their habitat, Scarlet Forest and Ruins of Wyveria. The first standoff occurs during the “Forest Findings” quest. You’ll instantly recognize this with the following characteristics:

  • Appears initially as a regular arachnoid with spiky legs and white fluffy hair
  • When agitated, unfurls its abdomen to reveal a rose-shaped tuft of red bristles and a retractable stinger
  • Can disperse red spider lily-like florets that paralyze anything they touch
  • Possesses a giant retractable stinger with paralytic properties
  • Weak to Fire damage
  • Breakable parts include stingers, petals, and claws

2. Nerscylla (Large Temnoceran)

Another large Temnoceran monster in Monster Hunter Wilds is the Nerscylla. It closely resembles the appearance of a traditional spider. It usually dwells in the Iceshard Cliffs, Ruins of Wyveria, and Oilwell Basin. However, the first encounter with this creature typically occurs while doing the quest “Hopes of Home.”

  • Features eight legs, multiple eyes, large claws, and poison sacs
  • Uses retractable pincer-like jaws to attack immobilized prey
  • Deploys sticky webs to catch hunters before attacking with pincers
  • Weak to Fire damage
  • Parts can be crafted into weapons that induce Sleep status
  • Nerscylla Claws are particularly valuable for creating weapons and armor

3. Nerscylla Hatchling (Small Temnoceran)

On the other hand, players will also face this small Temnoceran which is the larval form of Nerscylla. You can spot them as you go to the Iceshard Cliffs. 

  • Smaller version of the adult Nerscylla
  • Cannot use webbing or status ailments unlike their adult counterparts
  • Often found accompanying adult Nerscyllas

Hunting Tips for Temnocerans

There are several things to consider to make sure that you’ll survive during these encounters. Here are some tips to help you strategize and prepare for your hunt of Temnoceran monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. 

  1. Exploit their Fire Weakness. These large Temnocerans, Lala Barina and Nerscylla, weaken with fire damage. Create fire-element weapons to easily take them down. 
  2. Bring appropriate consumables to counter status effects. Antidotes and Paralysis resistance items are particularly useful against Lala Barina’s paralytic attacks.
  3. Focus on breaking specific monster parts like the Lala Barina’s stingers and petals or the Nerscylla’s claws. This will help both reduce their combat effectiveness and obtain valuable materials.
  4. Given their high mobility, hunters should prepare for fast-paced battles that may cover significant distances across the hunting grounds.

Arachnophobia Mode Limitation

Plus, keep in mind that Monster Hunter Wilds includes an Arachnophobia mode to cater to players experiencing discomfort with spider-like creatures. Yet, this feature only affects the small monsters and not the huge Temnoceran monsters described above. So, players may need to prepare themselves mentally as well for this encounter.

Conclusion

Monster Hunter Wilds Temnoceran Monsters are unique to each other in their habitat, abilities, and even weaknesses. So, you might really need to study these creatures to make sure you survive all the encounters. They are capable of bringing challenges given their high agility and inflicted damage.
