Nihilus is more powerful, but I imagine that thanks to Krayt's Dark Transfer, any damage that Nihilus inflicts with Lightning or telekinesis isn't going to get him very far. It all depends on how useful his Drain is here, and how much of Krayt's Force connection he can actually drain.
Does that entry ever say that novel Vitiate is stronger? I know Nyriss claimed that Nathema made him more powerful than any sith before him, but she would have no way of knowing that, and Nihilus came after (she probably didn't know about him at all).

Ah, you're right. They both refer to SWTOR Vitiate. And he had three hundred years of growth between the novel and the game where he explored the "uncharted, most sinister depths of the dark side".
Nihilus being more powerful than novel Vitiate is entirely possible, then, and looks to be that way based on showings.
And no, Nyriss wouldn't have known about Vitiate. At the time that she told Scourge about Nathema, Nihilus had yet to become the Lord of Hunger, anyway.
KotOR II establishes the Ancients as beings who can do worse than destroying worlds, and can consume any living thing, lol. Perhaps you should consider ranking the Ancients higher, then.

I forgot - Ludo Kressh in KotOR II is suggested to be insanely powerful. It's more than a millennium after his death, yet his Tomb is so powerful that the Exile's companions literally can't enter it, despite them going through Freedon Nadd's tomb and potentially absorbing the remnants of Nadd's power if it's the DS version.
Surely that isn't comparable to the Ludo Kressh that we all know and mock.
