Nekker is an Endemic Life creature in Monster Hunter World (MHW). The Nekker was added with patch 6.0 as part of the collaboration with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
I wonder if what the Witcher said was true... Do Nekkers really grow vicious when in a swarm? I think there's a place where we can test this...
Nekker Location
You can find Nekker in:
- Ancient Forest: Only available at NIGHTIME, comes to feed off a Great Jagras near its nest.
- You must have completed Contract: Trouble in the Ancient Forest, and you must talk to the Resource Center to obtain a Critical bounty (Research Help: Creature Capture)
How to Capture the Nekker
Firstly, check your hunter’s notebook under unclassified life to find the Nekker entry. It will imply that the Nekker is not hunting and instead is foraging in Ancient Forest after dark. The best way to get all the right conditions is by undertaking the Optional Quest: Hard to Swallow. Taking this quest will check off the 3 conditions we need:
- Quest/Expedition in the Ancient Forest
- A Great Jagras
- Night time
Proceed taking quests and leaving from them until you get a dusk time (sunset). Start a Hard to Swallow then go back to Astera until it hits night time. Leave your Palico behind for precaution and make sure you bring your Ghillie Mantle. Select Camp 1 and start the quest. Head to Quadrant 1 and wait for the Great Jagras to come to the area. Leave him be allowing him to eat and grow fat.
Stalk the Great Jagras from a distance as he head back to his nest. Put on your Ghillie mantle and stay near the entrance of the nest and gaze upon the Great Jagras puking up some meat for the Jagras. The Nekker should also spawn in and rush over to the wet meat greedily eating. Capture him with the Capture Net and complete the quest.
Nekker Capturing Rewards
You can capture Nekker by using the infinite item "capture net" then aiming for the creature with the control's trigger and pressing Square on your controller when the outline of the frame turns orange.
- House placing: Carpet, Floor, Hearth, Garden
- Other rewards: 800 Research Points, Nekker Card (Weapon) x1, Nekker Card (Armor) x1
Nekker Notes

- "A creature from another world. A lone nekker is harmless, but five are dangerous... Or so they say."
- Sizes: 156.89 (Fix Size)

If anyone still has issues getting the nekker to spawn even after following the instructions like i did, run past the great jagras as he leaves the nest and kill all the smaller jagras in the nest. The nekker should spawn as said when the great one comes back and pukes up some meat.

for those who dont know how to get the critical bounty, you have to speak to the female researcher which is studying the dead apthonoth there is optional dialog in which she refers to a small nekker being sited in the vicinity which she says she will refer to the hunter. after reading that dialogue make sure you complete the quest and once you are in Astera the critical bounty should appear at the resource center! sorry for the long winded answer.

Ok I have the bounty and follow all the instructions so why doesn't the Nekker even turn up?

Placing down 2 or more nekkers in your room will make them more aggressive and swarm you

For some reason the critical bounty isn't showing up for me :/

similar to the one before me, but I've done the quest and one subquest for the witcher hunt, captured a Nekker, but never had the critical bounty bit. Is Xbox Glitched or something?

anyone knows how to obtain ng critical bounty Research Help: Creature Capture? I've completed the witcher quest with all the side quests but the bounty doesn't show up at all.

I wonder where you can go to test the swarming vicious nekker comment in the Researcher's Notes. Seems like either a hint about the Event Quest next week or something else that was added and not really found yet

When it was night and raining in ancient forest,I was doing the quest "hard to swallow" then when the great jagras gave food to the jagras there was no nekker around.
