@@TuTukan-ho2lv I can imagine a scene already. There is the lone Jedi, running. He looks around, panting, he sees nothing. He draws his lightsaber and turns around, there is nothing. The air grows cold as if the warmth were sucked away. And there it is, the spectre he was running from. Darth Nihilius appears from the shadows, the flickering lights of the Jedi's lightsaber reflecting from his mask. He speaks in a spectral voice, speaking of hunger. The Jedi packes back, but falls over a rock, dropping his Lightsaber. Nihilius attacks, draining the life from the poor Jedi. ... Something I put together loosely in a course of two minutes.
A being so powerful, he could drain entire planets of their life, eventually he became so ravenous that the only thing he feared was letting his hunger devour him , which, of course, eventually it did. How ironic, his hunger had brought about the destruction of millions, including himself.

Agreed. I'd like a few changes to the design of a few things, the latter side of the war interms of its design is abit too similar to that of Star Wars 3500 years later (the films)
For sure. Because unlike every other Sith Lord, Nihilus is basically a force of nature and even if, say, Yoda and Palpatine are more powerful than him, the only one who can face him is the Exile because of their "wound in the Force" nature. Everybody else would get drained.

He is no longer human, he is just an entity reduced to a single need and a single will. Hunger, and the will to feed it. He's a black hole. He can't stop himself from consuming everything around him, and everything around him withers and dies.
This is probably the saddest and most suffering story of a Sith Lord I've heard. He cheated death twice, he lost everything and just wanted to die, but he couldn't contain his hunger.
Indeed. Sion by contrast didn't want to die and focused intently on his pain and anger to remain alive, yet while he wasn't stricken with an endless hunger as Nihilus was, he soon came to realize that the immortality he gained through his pain only made him a prisoner in his own body.
Quetzalcoatl - the Serpent God I don't know whether or not that opinion is overall unpopular or not but a lot of people do think that the eu is better than the new canon.
Quetzalcoatl - the Serpent God I agree but that's mostly cuz there is so much of the EU we haven't fully explored in films and games and shows. Only kotor. So the mystery and fan thoughts on that subject are more elaborate
Qui Gon - I found a child really strong with the force. Sidious: Finally a new apprentice who could destroy the jedi. Nihilius: finally some good fucking food.
Darth Nihilus is by far my favorite Sith Lord. I really liked how he became nothing more than a dark spirit that fed on force energy and was powerful enough to consume entire worlds
@@CaptainAmercia dude wtf ? They needed another one like him to defeat him Meetra Surik , how did he went like a bitch ? In canon (well the canon that was before the abominaition we have today ) they fought for literly days untill Visa Marr scraficed herself for Meetra Surik and weakening Nihilus spirit even then they barely destroyed him to be honest it was more luck for Meetra Surik and her gang (in the game well you level up to a point that every enemy is a joke soo your argumemt is null)
@@CaptainAmercia that’s because activision rushed the game developers of kotor, in reality, if it was given more time, he would have gotten a better ending or did not die at all.
I do like that while Nihilus was defined as Sith Lord, he didn't care about the Sith at all, it was just that he was so intuned with the dark side that calling him anything else would be pointless.
Darth Nihilus is easily my most favourite Sith Lord. Essentially he is the Dark Side Sith equivalent of the Light Side female Jedi Exile called Meetra Surik, as they were both "wounds in the force" created from the activation of the Mass Shadow Generator on Malachor V. Because they were both wounds in the force, Surik was probably the only one who could outlast his ability to force drain, thereby making him vulnerable to her considering he was average at best as a duelist. My biggest question about Nihilus is during the game it is referenced that he cares nothing for the Sith and their teachings, yet he acts as the Sith influence behind General Vaklu's attempted coup of Queen Talia on Onderon? His motive is far more primitive than that of say Darth Sidious, who manipulated the Republic behind the scenes in order to attain power and destroy the Jedi Order, but Nihilus' character is set up to be more primitive in nature with the desire to drain force sensitive individuals to sate his "hunger", so it doesn't make a lot of sense that he would meddle in political affairs on a planet. I suppose the only thing that would explain Nihilus' involvement in the Onderon Civil War would be that he had some of his followers perform a ritual in an ancient Sith Tomb on Dxun, the nearby moon of Onderon, in order to feed on the dark side energy available, so the siding with Vaklu was probably nothing more than a ruse to gain access to the tomb on the moon. At the end of the day he is still a terrific looking and completely badass villain and it is a crying shame that he and the other characters from the Old Republic era are not part of Disney's canon.
Died like a bitch tho in Kotor 2 which was very disappointing, never understand why fans loved him so much as he was so useless doing nothing throughout Kotor 2 and then died by the hands of the player
@@CaptainAmercia he died that way because the Jedi Exile was like him - a wound in the force - which made her immune to his force drain ability. His character was meant to be lurking in the background looking for ways to feed his hunger which is why he is never seen by the Exile until she confronts him on the Ravager above the planet Telos IV
The Resistance would be devoured to ash, they have nothing close to fighting that power. Haha, so would the First Order. Darth Nihilus is a tad over powered. Awesome character, but far too powerful for the late movies when they're quite weak.
My all time favourite Sith lord. His story perfectly shows how pain can corrupt a man. But, he was so badass and powerful, not only had a great story. He deserves a movie.
Nihilus needs and deserves a good origins story too (which delves into his pre-Nihilus days until that Mass Shadow Generator struck his home planet, and altered his life forever)!
KOTOR would make a great movie for disney. Man/woman starts using force powers without training? Check A diverse cast? Check A force against the republic? Check A bald "supreme leader"? Check A super weapon that needs to be destroyed? Check
Valkorion is basically explained by every Vitiate video out there, so not much to say, only you have lost 1/3 of your suggestion. However the rest would be cool
The thing about Nihlous is that he was virtually unstoppable. He would, as his name implies, utterly annihilate the majority of any other Sith or Jedi: his powers were so incredible. If not for Meetra Surik, the ONLY person who could stop him, he would possibly still be ruling the known galaxy.
I love the idea that within his robes and mask was nothing but the empty, yet power darkness. Great video 👍 #suggestion Are there any Sith holocrons still existing in current canon?
I first discovered Nihilus when I was a kid, through the 2005 'Ultimate Visual Guide' book. That was also how I discovered Kotor. Anyway, I was instantly fascinated by Nihilus, his mask looked so scary and awesome at the same time, and it was cool to know that there were other Darth's in Star Wars other than Maul, Tyranus and Vader. When I finally got KOTOR II some time in early 2008, and I saw that first scene where Nihilus is talking to Visas, his voice chilled me to the bone. Nihilus carries such a dark, ominous presence, he's the Grim Reaper of Star Wars.
Probably my favorite part of his lore is that he fed on the entire planet of Katarr, killing everyone except Visas. Showing just how strong and powerful his hunger truly was.
@@ProdbyZyruh nihilism isn't just a philosophy that nothing matters because we die, it's also the bleak outlook that their is no God no good and evil no reason and no truth.
I love these origin stories Nihilus is one of my fave sith lords the lord of hunger, the tear in the dark side he's soo cool and his Saber is beautiful
This guy is kind of a mood. He didn't start off as some over-the-top edgelord with an agenda, he didn't particularly give a crap about the Jedi or the Sith orders, he just wanted to consume the energy of everything around him because it made him feel better for at least a little bit
Darth Nihilus is my favorite of the non-movie Sith (Members of the Sith who do not appear in the movies and only in books, video games, etc.). I love how he’s just a black hole as you may say who only wants to devour every person, every planet, every system, every galaxy and every universe.
What I love most about him is that while there are stronger people I star wars lore, had he not been stopped he would have became not only more powerful but he would keep growing and feeding literally becoming death incarnate.
If we ever get movies about the era of the old republic, make sure that Kennedy/ Abrahams/ Johnsson will NOT be the ones making them...they already damaged the franchise as it is.
He has his soul bound to an object causing him to live forever, I thought the skeletal part was just due to the rotting of flesh caused by living for hundreds of years. However in this case he just lost his body entirely. I don't know much about spectre so you may be right, really cool regardless. One of the many reasons this guy is my favorite Sith.
Classic lich rules in DnD among other things require liches to continually feed on souls to maintain their phylactery (physical object that binds them to the material world). They don't and they fade away or just essentially degrade into that object until it's fed. Same as Nihilus.
By far, one of the most dangerous beings who have ever lived/lives in the Starwars Universe. If he hadn't been stopped, he would've evolved into something so powerful that could've consumed the entire Galaxy and beyond. Truly a comic entity.
I do not understand why the Jedi counsel specifically Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi say multiple times that once a Sith Dies there is nothing, he does not exist in the physical plane of existence and only a Jedi can transcend the physical world and return as a force ghost. Almost every Sith Lord binds themselves to something whether it be a mask or something that they saw as great importance or cloned bodies. I don’t see (or completely understand) the differences between becoming a Force Ghost if your a Jedi OR if you preform essence transfer if you’re a Sith. If anyone could explain that it would clear up a lot of confusion over what Yoda and Obi Won talk about in the later prequels.
The idea is roughly that the Jedi embody the force in its natural state, so when they die they can merge into it as themselves. Sith however are perversions or distortions of the force, they are not the force as it naturally exists or "wants" to be. As they die they cannot merge with the force as their nature is antithetical to its nature, they cannot exist as a part of the natural force. Darth Nihilus goes even further than normal Sith, he is not a distortion of the force, he is a force void/wound in the force. He has become basically the force's opposite. The force binds together all life, Darth Nihilus tears it all apart by his very presence. Darth Nihilus is also not really a Sith, he is only called that because no other word exist for what he is. The distorted force is called the dark side, and Darth Nihilus distorts the force so much that he breaks it a part, on the fringes of his existence is the "dark side" and that is linked to the Sith, so he is called Sith.
I think the reason why people like Darth Nihilus is because he is so relatable, the pain and suffering people would go through if they lost everything they loved.
Darth Nihilus (after the Malachor 5 incident) was a very tragic entity. He suffered from a constant enormous hunger that could never be sated, instead being a walking manifestation of eternal hunger. He had no other goal or drive than to consume. He was both the weakest and one of the strongest Sith lords in the history of Sith lords.
Darth Nihilus is a GREAT example of how Power does NOT equal success. His power only sought to destroy everything. He was a prisoner of his power. He lived without actually enjoying the spoils of his work. He was a TRUE Abomination of/in The Force. Something that existed only to destroy all life and eventually destroy itself. He wasn't even Sith at that point....just a monster, since his was not to Rule or Champion the Sith, but instead pure annihilation. While Palpatine may not have had that raw power....Palpatine was NOT a slave to his own power. He mad sure to take great pleasure in life where and when he could. He furthered the power and agenda of the Sith themselves. He managed to overthrow the Galaxy with glorious applause at the start of his Dictatorship.
So there is a way to bring the sith back. Somebody could find this mask, wear it, then darth nihilus possesses their body and bring back the sith order. Maybe this is Palpatines last trick up his sleeve to preserve the sith. Maybe snoke is the guardian of the mask and is finding the right one to wear it... like kylo ren or possibly rey. So many possibilities
The fact that Ravens actions directly caused the birth of Darth Nihilis makes me love the starwars legends even more. If only a better filming studio could use the ip in order to create movies following this era..😔
What makes him in my opinion the best Sith Lord is that he proves that to be a good Jedi or Sith, you don’t need to have good saber skills cause what makes you strong is your force ability.
I just beat KOTOR 2 for the first time today. Was disappointed that Nihilus didn’t play more into the story but I do think he’s still a cool character. Kinda reminds me of the Witch King
You know I’m all about the good guys prevailing and root for them and all, but man so many of the villains seem so much cooler in a way. A large part of this perception in my mind I’m sure is how cool they tend to look. Like villains almost always have a passion for fashion and I love that for them. Nihilus’ mask and swooshing draped black robes are just 👌
“He is already dead, it is simply a question of how many he kills before he falls”
Now that’s hardcore
I think that's an understatement...

just like you were only looking for lightsabers
You should trade a Snickers with his lightsaber
This is probably the saddest and most suffering story of a Sith Lord I've heard. He cheated death twice, he lost everything and just wanted to die, but he couldn't contain his hunger.
Indeed. Sion by contrast didn't want to die and focused intently on his pain and anger to remain alive, yet while he wasn't stricken with an endless hunger as Nihilus was, he soon came to realize that the immortality he gained through his pain only made him a prisoner in his own body.
I can't believe he did my favorite sith!
Me too!
I love Nihilus! :D
Same!!!!
Same
Same here nihilus all the way
Nihlus is the best it's also my favourite pass time killing jedi
Is this an unpopular opinion?
I actually find the Expanded Universe of Star Wars more interesting than canon.
Quetzalcoatl - the Serpent God uhhhh most of the EU is shit. Like 1/5 EU material I even remotely good
Quetzalcoatl - the Serpent God WHAT, I thought it was popular, especially the old republic
Quetzalcoatl - the Serpent God I don't know whether or not that opinion is overall unpopular or not but a lot of people do think that the eu is better than the new canon.
Joey Kevorkian That's like your opinion man about the Old Eu.
Quetzalcoatl - the Serpent God I agree but that's mostly cuz there is so much of the EU we haven't fully explored in films and games and shows. Only kotor. So the mystery and fan thoughts on that subject are more elaborate
Have you ever watched "The Story of Darth Nihilus?" It's not a video the Jedi would show you.
Haha I like the reference
hmm..whatdya say
It's not the story Disney will tell you
Qui Gon - I found a child really strong with the force.
Sidious: Finally a new apprentice who could destroy the jedi.
Nihilius: finally some good fucking food.
Nihilus, eat a snickers. You become a life draining ghost when you're hungry.
I SHALL FIND AND WEAR HIS MASK TO RESURRECT HIM
Considering what this guys has for Breakfeast, Lunch and Dinner. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah no.
I would do it I would want to be Darth nihlus so he'll yaaaa
He will possess you guys.
@@danielhamilton351 The motherfucker's gotta find me first.
Make me yours Daddy nihilus
Darth Nihilus is by far my favorite Sith Lord. I really liked how he became nothing more than a dark spirit that fed on force energy and was powerful enough to consume entire worlds
His appearance always creeped me out.
She’s Thicc though
You know... Visas Mart is a good snack
Yeahhh, behind his mask you can see his face. A black eye-less spectre. Or what he remembers it like after chaining his spirit.
A Jedi Purge movie centered around Nihilus and Sion would be awesome.
The entire video felt like a storyteller telling the story of an old folktale. This was very interactive, 10/10
I love the idea of force “wounds” and I believe nihilus was the perfect embodiment of a force wound
To my knowledge, he is one of, if not the greatest Wounds in the Force in Galactic History!
Because that is what he really was...A wound in the Force.
The force wound who put themselves in cabonite waiting for nihilus to return: =)
The droids taking care of him : da fuck he planning
I'd love to see Nihilus return in the new movies, just to watch all these new baddies squirm in terror of a power they can't even comprehend.
Most likely get killed again like the bitch he is
@@CaptainAmercia dude wtf ? They needed another one like him to defeat him Meetra Surik , how did he went like a bitch ? In canon (well the canon that was before the abominaition we have today ) they fought for literly days untill Visa Marr scraficed herself for Meetra Surik and weakening Nihilus spirit even then they barely destroyed him to be honest it was more luck for Meetra Surik and her gang (in the game well you level up to a point that every enemy is a joke soo your argumemt is null)
@@CaptainAmercia that’s because activision rushed the game developers of kotor, in reality, if it was given more time, he would have gotten a better ending or did not die at all.
I do like that while Nihilus was defined as Sith Lord, he didn't care about the Sith at all, it was just that he was so intuned with the dark side that calling him anything else would be pointless.
Oh, my gosh. Poor Nihilus. I'm so sorry. He's my favourite now.
Darth Nihilus is easily my most favourite Sith Lord. Essentially he is the Dark Side Sith equivalent of the Light Side female Jedi Exile called Meetra Surik, as they were both "wounds in the force" created from the activation of the Mass Shadow Generator on Malachor V. Because they were both wounds in the force, Surik was probably the only one who could outlast his ability to force drain, thereby making him vulnerable to her considering he was average at best as a duelist.
My biggest question about Nihilus is during the game it is referenced that he cares nothing for the Sith and their teachings, yet he acts as the Sith influence behind General Vaklu's attempted coup of Queen Talia on Onderon? His motive is far more primitive than that of say Darth Sidious, who manipulated the Republic behind the scenes in order to attain power and destroy the Jedi Order, but Nihilus' character is set up to be more primitive in nature with the desire to drain force sensitive individuals to sate his "hunger", so it doesn't make a lot of sense that he would meddle in political affairs on a planet.
I suppose the only thing that would explain Nihilus' involvement in the Onderon Civil War would be that he had some of his followers perform a ritual in an ancient Sith Tomb on Dxun, the nearby moon of Onderon, in order to feed on the dark side energy available, so the siding with Vaklu was probably nothing more than a ruse to gain access to the tomb on the moon.
At the end of the day he is still a terrific looking and completely badass villain and it is a crying shame that he and the other characters from the Old Republic era are not part of Disney's canon.
Died like a bitch tho in Kotor 2 which was very disappointing, never understand why fans loved him so much as he was so useless doing nothing throughout Kotor 2 and then died by the hands of the player
@@CaptainAmercia he died that way because the Jedi Exile was like him - a wound in the force - which made her immune to his force drain ability.
His character was meant to be lurking in the background looking for ways to feed his hunger which is why he is never seen by the Exile until she confronts him on the Ravager above the planet Telos IV
Noel Burland what a fanny such a beautiful death
@Slender Man ive seen him in other comments too just trashing people even after a year :
They sould be glad that they are not disneys cannon tbh
High ground......
Captain Ireland4 he... ate the high ground sir.
Captain Ireland4 I'm high...and I got the high ground.
stfu
Captain Ireland4 I am sorry but will this damn joke ever die?
SkintSNIPER262 yea....he tried.
Soooo......... if someone were to find this mask..... say..... in the time of the first order........ hmmmm.......
(Extreme wishful thinking...)
The Resistance would be devoured to ash, they have nothing close to fighting that power. Haha, so would the First Order. Darth Nihilus is a tad over powered. Awesome character, but far too powerful for the late movies when they're quite weak.
How would they find the mask
That's so true, there is no powerful force users that are in the movies right now. Nihilis would just destroy everything lol
real life farmer I think it’s somewhere on the ancient sith home planet
That would be absolutely awesome if Darth Nihilus was brought into current Star Wars movies...😏
👍👑 Someone get this guy a Snickers!
I am groot
Connor Groot maybe the best UA-cam comment I've read, 😂
He'd rather annihilate the Snickers' planet.
LOL
Dude this comment just made my good day even better
Good one.
I would put the mask on for his sake. He's my hero
We sacrifice for the ones we love.
@@d.dementedengineerc99isurf26 we sacrifice the ones we love, to make the most difficult choices
My all time favourite Sith lord. His story perfectly shows how pain can corrupt a man. But, he was so badass and powerful, not only had a great story. He deserves a movie.
Nihilus needs and deserves a good origins story too (which delves into his pre-Nihilus days until that Mass Shadow Generator struck his home planet, and altered his life forever)!
Very cool KOTOR 2 Sith character
KOTOR would make a great movie for disney.
Man/woman starts using force powers without training? Check
A diverse cast? Check
A force against the republic? Check
A bald "supreme leader"? Check
A super weapon that needs to be destroyed? Check
Nah the story is way to competent, Disney can't have that.
so TFA wasn't just ANH remake?
Do the story of valkorian, his sons, and the eternal empire
BloooEmericaz There are tons of videos on Valkorion already. I think he should look into the dark council members. Like Marr and Jadus.
only good thing about that is the CGIs =/
definitely Jadus would be an interesting video, as "the best sith my [Valkorion's] empire ever produced"
BloooEmericaz What about Vaylin?
Valkorion is basically explained by every Vitiate video out there, so not much to say, only you have lost 1/3 of your suggestion. However the rest would be cool
Nihilus was and still IS the most powerful force using entity that ever existed
Let's just hope he doesn't become cannon cause the character is powerful and honestly will be a horror film
What about the Ones or Abeloth?
He isn't.
Abeloth, is way more powerful than nihalus, although would make an interesting 5 minute duel.
Viatae The Ones Ableloth they were far stronger in the Force and far more dangerous
The thing about Nihlous is that he was virtually unstoppable. He would, as his name implies, utterly annihilate the majority of any other Sith or Jedi: his powers were so incredible. If not for Meetra Surik, the ONLY person who could stop him, he would possibly still be ruling the known galaxy.
he'd eat it all, he wouldn't rule over anything.
He should have stayed away from Telos
Oh, now you want to talk about it?
Dat anima is addicting.
Carth Onasi Fuck you Carth.
I love the idea that within his robes and mask was nothing but the empty, yet power darkness.
Great video 👍
#suggestion Are there any Sith holocrons still existing in current canon?
mario navas there was one in Rebels opened by Ezra
Robo_Destroyer / Darth Troller The creator of that holocron is not yet confirmed tho, I think. But thank you!
The fact that you couldn't wear his mask in KotoR2 always irritated me
I mean, he would possess you but still smh why couldn’t you wear it.
Cough mods cough
@@Draculas-knight this is knowlage
That would kind of be an immediate bad end.
I first discovered Nihilus when I was a kid, through the 2005 'Ultimate Visual Guide' book. That was also how I discovered Kotor. Anyway, I was instantly fascinated by Nihilus, his mask looked so scary and awesome at the same time, and it was cool to know that there were other Darth's in Star Wars other than Maul, Tyranus and Vader. When I finally got KOTOR II some time in early 2008, and I saw that first scene where Nihilus is talking to Visas, his voice chilled me to the bone. Nihilus carries such a dark, ominous presence, he's the Grim Reaper of Star Wars.
Revan and Meetra : "What have you become?"
Nihilus: "I am what you made me."
Fuq YEAH FINALLY DARTH NIHILUS!!!!!!!THANKS WAVE👍
Yay!!!!
Probably my favorite part of his lore is that he fed on the entire planet of Katarr, killing everyone except Visas. Showing just how strong and powerful his hunger truly was.
Fun fact: Nihilus in Latin is the he/it form of the word for nothing.
Also another word for Nihilus is Nihilism. And that's the philosophy that basically states how nothing matters because in the end, we'll all die
This would be the singular-masculine noun, exactly.
@@ProdbyZyruh nihilism isn't just a philosophy that nothing matters because we die, it's also the bleak outlook that their is no God no good and evil no reason and no truth.
@@MrAwrsomeness Yee
Thx I guess
I love these origin stories Nihilus is one of my fave sith lords the lord of hunger, the tear in the dark side he's soo cool and his Saber is beautiful
This guy is kind of a mood. He didn't start off as some over-the-top edgelord with an agenda, he didn't particularly give a crap about the Jedi or the Sith orders, he just wanted to consume the energy of everything around him because it made him feel better for at least a little bit
His backstory is tragic if not sad which is why I've always related with him.
He definitely deserves a full origins story...
Hey I've also got a nihilus PFP
Do Darth Bane.
You are joking aren't you? 😂
Dude, that'd be necrophilia... in more ways than one.
@@aibpresto yes he has to be Joking

The best Sith Lord

Thanks^^
not the best, surely the most poweful, as in the most potential, "feed on the whole galaxy" i want to see abeloth top that; destroying is easy.....
Darth Jar Jar Blinks???
But I agree Darth Nihilus is second!!
''Darth Jar Jar Binks'' Lmao i like how people actually believe in this silly theory.
That music in the background gave me shivers
Darth Nihilus is my favorite of the non-movie Sith (Members of the Sith who do not appear in the movies and only in books, video games, etc.). I love how he’s just a black hole as you may say who only wants to devour every person, every planet, every system, every galaxy and every universe.
Even Dracula would be envious of Darth Nihilus's great thirst
Hi
Darth Nihilus Hi :)
Eat me daddy
@ashton barker Jedi. He eats Jedi.
Nihilus may your hunger come to an end friend
Darth Revan ur my fav
What I love most about him is that while there are stronger people I star wars lore, had he not been stopped he would have became not only more powerful but he would keep growing and feeding literally becoming death incarnate.
The perfect story for halloween
Luigifan129 OK I guess
I won't wear this disguise, Star Wars intellects aren't present in my local place
@@darthtroller same in my area
"The less said of that one, the better even a stray thought may draw him." Darth Traya
If we ever get movies about the era of the old republic, make sure that Kennedy/ Abrahams/ Johnsson will NOT be the ones making them...they already damaged the franchise as it is.
Rian? No, jj Abrams did made force awakens a decent movie, but Rian? No, just no.
Jon Favreau
@@Nansy_ yes, i liked A Newer Hope as well
NansyMansy force awakens was still terrible.
Dave Filoni should
So he is basically a Lich?
A spectre. Liches have skeletal bodies (at least they did back in HoMM III and in Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven)
He has his soul bound to an object causing him to live forever, I thought the skeletal part was just due to the rotting of flesh caused by living for hundreds of years. However in this case he just lost his body entirely. I don't know much about spectre so you may be right, really cool regardless. One of the many reasons this guy is my favorite Sith.
Nemenon might be a genie.
naah, just drug junkie.
Classic lich rules in DnD among other things require liches to continually feed on souls to maintain their phylactery (physical object that binds them to the material world). They don't and they fade away or just essentially degrade into that object until it's fed.
Same as Nihilus.
By far, one of the most dangerous beings who have ever lived/lives in the Starwars Universe. If he hadn't been stopped, he would've evolved into something so powerful that could've consumed the entire Galaxy and beyond. Truly a comic entity.
The galaxy was like a fridge to him!
I just imagine him saying: "Hmmm... should I eat a cold planet like Hoth or a hot planet like Mustafar?"
“And what entrees I should eat too? maybe some savoury Jedi? Or tart sith? Hmm....So many choices”
I would LOVE a spin off of someone finding and putting on his mask. Hes the ultimate
I do not understand why the Jedi counsel specifically Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi say multiple times that once a Sith Dies there is nothing, he does not exist in the physical plane of existence and only a Jedi can transcend the physical world and return as a force ghost. Almost every Sith Lord binds themselves to something whether it be a mask or something that they saw as great importance or cloned bodies. I don’t see (or completely understand) the differences between becoming a Force Ghost if your a Jedi OR if you preform essence transfer if you’re a Sith. If anyone could explain that it would clear up a lot of confusion over what Yoda and Obi Won talk about in the later prequels.
The idea is roughly that the Jedi embody the force in its natural state, so when they die they can merge into it as themselves.
Sith however are perversions or distortions of the force, they are not the force as it naturally exists or "wants" to be. As they die they cannot merge with the force as their nature is antithetical to its nature, they cannot exist as a part of the natural force.
Darth Nihilus goes even further than normal Sith, he is not a distortion of the force, he is a force void/wound in the force. He has become basically the force's opposite. The force binds together all life, Darth Nihilus tears it all apart by his very presence.
Darth Nihilus is also not really a Sith, he is only called that because no other word exist for what he is. The distorted force is called the dark side, and Darth Nihilus distorts the force so much that he breaks it a part, on the fringes of his existence is the "dark side" and that is linked to the Sith, so he is called Sith.
Low key I'm really loving his mask.
I think the reason why people like Darth Nihilus is because he is so relatable, the pain and suffering people would go through if they lost everything they loved.
One of the most powerful Sith Lords? Must be related to Coleman Trebor.
Captain Spooder stop
Stfu
oh my god, Spooder
Please no
I know it's bait i wont take the bait
This guy is the reason I fear and revere star wars lore especially the old republic
Darth Nihilus (after the Malachor 5 incident) was a very tragic entity. He suffered from a constant enormous hunger that could never be sated, instead being a walking manifestation of eternal hunger. He had no other goal or drive than to consume. He was both the weakest and one of the strongest Sith lords in the history of Sith lords.
Disney needs to make an old republic show or movies to make awesome characters like him canon
I wanna to make Film like star wars but will be clled The old republic
NO! DISNEY WILL RUIN IT I SHALL NOT LET DISNEY RUIN OUR BELOVED REAL CANON!
No way man! Disney needs to let go of the franchise! They've ruined enough already!
Darth Addiction.
I mean, even Nihilus references "nothing"
My favorite sith of all time.
Darth Nihilus is a GREAT example of how Power does NOT equal success.
His power only sought to destroy everything. He was a prisoner of his power. He lived without actually enjoying the spoils of his work. He was a TRUE Abomination of/in The Force. Something that existed only to destroy all life and eventually destroy itself. He wasn't even Sith at that point....just a monster, since his was not to Rule or Champion the Sith, but instead pure annihilation.
While Palpatine may not have had that raw power....Palpatine was NOT a slave to his own power. He mad sure to take great pleasure in life where and when he could. He furthered the power and agenda of the Sith themselves. He managed to overthrow the Galaxy with glorious applause at the start of his Dictatorship.
There is no other music that perfectly fits in with the video like the one here.
...
Have you ever hear the fortune of Obi Wan the Master of the highgrounds??
😂
So there is a way to bring the sith back. Somebody could find this mask, wear it, then darth nihilus possesses their body and bring back the sith order. Maybe this is Palpatines last trick up his sleeve to preserve the sith. Maybe snoke is the guardian of the mask and is finding the right one to wear it... like kylo ren or possibly rey. So many possibilities
there are many fake mask of him which makes it hard to find the real one
Nihilus didnt care for sith. He would just consume all life including sith.
After I've seen the Rise of Skywalker, I feel really bad that your theory didn't become true.
The real mask would be lost in space, no?
@@senorkaktusz5940 me too lol
Best sith ever he deserves a film
The fact that Ravens actions directly caused the birth of Darth Nihilis makes me love the starwars legends even more. If only a better filming studio could use the ip in order to create movies following this era..😔
Good call on quoting Kreia when describing him. She puts it better than pretty much anyone else could.
One of my favorite star wars characters
Ye Dude Pretty Awesome!! :D Never Can be Stoped!!!
The man is just hungry
Someone get him a snickers
What makes him in my opinion the best Sith Lord is that he proves that to be a good Jedi or Sith, you don’t need to have good saber skills cause what makes you strong is your force ability.
He isint a Sith Lord he just hangry
I just beat KOTOR 2 for the first time today. Was disappointed that Nihilus didn’t play more into the story but I do think he’s still a cool character. Kinda reminds me of the Witch King
You know I’m all about the good guys prevailing and root for them and all, but man so many of the villains seem so much cooler in a way. A large part of this perception in my mind I’m sure is how cool they tend to look. Like villains almost always have a passion for fashion and I love that for them. Nihilus’ mask and swooshing draped black robes are just 👌
