Mohg, Lord of Blood, can be one of the most exhilarating fights in Elden Ring, but only if you counter his Nihil countdown. While you can face tank the attack like I did on my first playthrough, knowing how to counter Nihil is safer, more efficient, and, thankfully, fairly straightforward.
What is Mohg’s Nihil in Elden Ring and What Does It Do?
Nihil is Latin for “nothing” and takes place at the end of a health-gated countdown during the Mohg, Lord of Blood boss fight. After taking off about 20% of his health bar, Mohg will start counting down from three, also in Latin, so “tres, duo, unos.” Each time he names a new number, a red ring will form around your character, marking the number of counts he’s made. At about 60% of his total health, Mohg will raise his trident into the air and cry “nihil,” causing you to bleed out for 60% of your own health instantly. He’ll do this three times across three cries of “nihil.”
