Notes[]

  • One of the possible bosses for Einherjar - Wing I chambers.
  • Can Draw In its current target.
  • Uses standard wivre TP moves.
    • Batterhorn seems to reset hate.
    • Crippling Slam is massive AOE damage with a potent paralyze effect.
      • Crippling Slam seems to be used only when Nihhus is below 30% HP.
  • It is a good idea to save 2-hours for this point in the fight.
  • Magic damage against Nihhus is reduced by ~35%.
  • It is best to attack from the sides. Like all Wivres, it receives defense bonuses from the front and rear.

Derivations[]

Nihhus is the Old High German word for a Nix. In Germanic folklore, Nixes were malevolent water spirits that was half-man and half-fish which lured humans into the river to drown. Nihhus also means “crocodile”.
