Nihilis, a unique amulet in Last Epoch, is renowned for being one of the most elusive items in the game. Securing this powerful piece requires overcoming the formidable Pinnacle boss, after which it can significantly enhance both the damage output and defensive capabilities of your character—provided you obtain a favorable roll.
Steps to Obtain Nihilis in Last Epoch
Introduced in the Harbingers of Ruin update, Nihilis is classified as a boss drop; it cannot be discovered randomly while navigating the Monolith of Fate. To obtain this unique amulet, players must successfully defeat Aberroth.
With a respectable drop rate of 14.29%, many players might find themselves needing several attempts to claim Nihilis due to luck being a determining factor in reward distribution. This sets the stage for some intensive grinding, as defeating Aberroth necessitates overcoming all Harbinger bosses throughout the various timelines.
The battle against Aberroth can prove to be quite difficult. Hence, to improve your chances of success, familiarize yourself with the boss’s attack patterns to avoid damage effectively. If you prefer a more resilient playstyle, a tank-oriented build using Ward could be advantageous, especially if dodging attacks isn’t within your skill set.
