  The fact that Nihilus is basically Sith Galactus alone can be exploited as a weakness under the right circumstances.

  Kreia herself summed up the nature of his power. “It rules him, not the other way around.”

  People severely underestimate Nihilus’ physical combat skills. It took a Mandalore, Revan’s top general who was also a wound in the force, and his own apprentice who was interrupting a force bond with him in the middle of the fight to beat him. It took every advantage of the good guys to beat this dude, who was also starving.  He’s insanely powerful, force wise and physical combat wise.

  What has always made Nihilus scary was never his strength. It's always been his endless hunger that even after his death continues to haunt the galaxy.

  I will never be able to not watch videos about Darth Nihilus. Everytime i see that mask on the screen my thumb gets force pulled.

  Nilhilus was a slave to his own power

  Nihilus is the character in a RPG that has medium combat skills, but MAX intimidation.

  This dude is terrifyingly powerful.<br><br>The way video says that without saying it is peculiar work.

  His greatest strength was also his greatest weakness.<br><br>Palpatine: It’s ironic.

  Final answer:<br>Ultimately, the Force balances itself.

  To lose he had to get his power held on a leash. And even then they think he&apos;s still out there 😂

  Nihilus still remains my favourite Sith, I never really had any misconceptions about his powers, he&apos;s essentially a force Vampire, and while he had his vulnerabilities he remains the most terrifying sith in my opinion. Other Sith wanted power and to hold dominion over others, Under Sidious, though most suffered, many prospered as a result of the Empires influence, there was still a life for you to have in some capacity, which is a low bar, but consider the alternative. &nbsp;With Nihilus there would be no empire, no civilization, no army, no one, he wanted nothing more than to feed, He represented the end of life ITSELF, imagine what he could have become if his power and reach continued to grow, if he&apos;d never been slain, if he&apos;d been allowed to roam free, &nbsp;leaving dead worlds and maybe even stars in his wake.<br><br>You could argue that other sith represent a much greater threat at full power, luke, Anakin, Star killer, but I don&apos;t think we ever saw what Nihilus could be at the peak of his power, if it had any true limits beyond his capacity to feed, his mask and robes are still out there, it&apos;s entirely possible the wrong person could decide to try them on and he&apos;d be free to consume all over again.
