What you think of the "cry baby" Darth Nihilous? oh man, before the game was released a have nightmares just lookin to that mask, but when the time comes, i kicked his a** SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easily, that this time, the second time i am playing the game, i will remove the other party members for a more chalenging oponent...

What do you think? Nihilous is or is not a wasted great evil potential????

[SConrad]

Wasted potential, of course. Hyped up before the game, and a bit pointless in it... Sad, really.

[Celestine]

wasted potential definitely. He's pretty cool for a bad guy I think but underdeveloped.

In the official forum, someone once said that if you play Nihilus's audio backwards, what he said actually make sense.

yeah, i heard it in some other place... but dont try it yet...

...uh, just wondering, can we take his mask? i dont try to get it, but can we wear it? ( i dont think so, just... nevermind...)

[Radwen]

You can possess his mask .. but you can't wear it. It actually gives you force points ^^.

As a jedi guardian I found the only challenging foe was lord Sion. But as a Sith lord .. every important char were wasted in seconds ..
Nihilus was the easiest by far .. I guess they weren't expecting the players to do most quests before getting to him or something ..

The game was released too early, that is the reason why it has some major jar jar binks errors...

[Elan Morin Tedronai]

thumbs up. the difficulty in the game sucks big time and Nihilus was something I cleansed in a couple of minutes. a friend of mine came one day to ask if the game was easy. I reloaded in my Darth Traya battle and showed him what I could do to her... too easy. not develloped too much.

For all those looking to make things harder, look here for an improvement for the difficulty settings

http://www.pcgamemods.com/10900/

It works just like BG IWD, in that enemies stats/resistances are improved based on difficulty level. Unfortunately damage is not improved by itself, like +50% damage or anything, it's just improved by the stat bonuses.

While not perfect it does help a little.

[Celestine]

Can you explain this stuff about weakening him?  I mean when he tried to drain me and nearly fell unconcious. I suppose his drain was a very powerful version and an enormous waste of mana when used on a single guy but that doesn't explain how I survived this.

Any chance for "Improved Nihilus" Mod ?

From what I gathered from the obsidient forums, Nihilus and the exile are believed to be similar in that they both sucked force from others. Nihilus does so on a major scale. Because he and the exile are both wounds in the force, Nihilus is unable to drain from the exile.

His drain is powerful because his hunger is great. Whoops. I sounded like Visas for a second. Anyhow, he not only need to force drain, he actually life drains as well, something the exile don't do. Exile only force drains unconsciously.

Did that answer your question?

[Child]

Thank you.

So , the masters were right?I am doomed to become a planet eating freak just like him? Or is there a way to heal it?

(.... I said "I". Must have been playing too much...)

Darth Nihilus. Um. My latin isnt that good cozits ages since ive done it, but isnt that Darth Nothing??? LOL....coz in that case maybe its a subtle in-joke? (or a not-so-subtle injoke?)

[Pain Elemental]

Not just Darth Nihilous, Darth Sion was also soooo easy.
The most funny thing is when your whooping his ass and Visas starts to whine how powerfull he is.
I took Darth Sion down in 2-3 hits

From what I gathered, the Exile is different from Nihilus. The Exile's power can be as powerful as Nihilus but Exile only does Force drain. He doesn't drain life like Nihilus does.

As for healing it, I'm not sure. In M5, the thousands of deaths echoed in the Exile, creating echos in the Force. And the Exile survived by shutting himself off the force but that didn't heal it too.

I thought the whole game was a waste of potential.

The storyline was good, and didn't give it away in the middle of the game like KOTOR1, but the battles were frankly pathetic. Nihilus is actually a pretty cool and scary character, with a cool voice, but he's a pansy in battle. Why didn't they give him some kind of special power to spice things up?
I didn't even die once in the whole game, think that says enough.

[beau]

the first time i played the game nihilus was hard but when i whent to the dark side he was to easy. or i think the one of a kind jewl u get on onderon in the izis cantina that powerd my lightsaber to 10-21. sion was a sweat kraya was two drops of sweat nihilus was nothin. he was the hair on my u know what.

[Pain Elemental]

Could someone check what stats/ equipment/ powers  he has at the moment?

STR 12
DEX 14
CON 10

WIS 15
CHA 20

114 Base hit points

Feats:

The problem is that the stats are just basic and change everytime while you are playing, because he keeps scaling and adepting when you gain more levels
