Well, no, because it is a measure of Vitiate's own power, he is clearly not reliant on the nexus, by any means of significance. Can we stop pretending Vitiate is relevant to Valkorion?
You created a new brigade including KotOR era characters and you didn't include me or Nova?

I'm assuming she managed Enlightenment solely because of her performance there, and because it'd be pretty damn stupid for her to learn it on Dantooine and then not be able to use it for the biggest fight of her life. So she learnt the game's ultimate LS power just so she could use it when running through the Ravager?
For the record, the nexus of the Jedi Temple ruins on Coruscant was powerful enough for Nyax to throw around capital ships apparently, which would mean the nexus of Malachor V would be utterly insane since there were even more deaths there and they occurred in simultaneity.

But she learns it from a holocron that they found in the Dantooine archives, Nova, you just found that out yourself. In vanilla she learns it after the council meeting.

Why are we talking about game mechanics? She was hindered on Malachor V and is highly unlikely to be capable of achieving a tranquil state of mind when she is stated to be mentally enduring the anguish of Jedi spirits echoing throughout the planet.

It is the greatest technique she learns, true, but that in reality is all it is. Malachor V was meant to be her hardest and most difficult test under the worst circumstances, her inability to go in at full strength was the point. A point Traya even makes with the Exile's rescuing of her companions.

The point is that she prevails under adverse conditions. Enlightenment possibly playing a role in her triumph.
With her Bonds with her companions, Enlightenment's entirely possible and might've been what protected her (to an extent) against the harshness of the world.
If she does it without Enlightenment, then the feat's just even better.
Bobas best shot is hitting Sion with the gun that destroys molecular bonds and causing disintegration.

Nah, there is a part of the novel where Meetra tries to enter an enlightened state but the dark side was making it too difficult to achieve a tranquil state of mind. Her inabilities on Dromund Kaas are consistent with other Jedi on a less potent Dromund Kaas.

I know that. Enlightenment is supposed to be an inner thing - and after braving Malachor V, I don't imagine DK would've made it so hard for her to find Enlightenment. This is the same author who never once mentioned Surik's aptitude for making Force Bonds with others or using Sever Force.

I understand your point, I pioneered ranting about Drew's self-admitted inadequate research into the lore. But no amount of complaining and head canon will do the characters any favor on here or on CV. I'm trying to connect very distant dots to have a consistent picture of the character, give me a break.
