So here is what i think and know.
1.) Sion is emo(he uses razor blades to cut him self up, and he feelz good)
2.) Nihilis was the main bad guy( that is why his picture is the biggest on the box)
3.) Nihilis is the exile, but an inversed version who got beat with the old ladys ugly stick too much.
Everyone was talkin about the friggin mask like it actually meant something. Well, its not, the force links are the big thing. When ur a real bad ass, you can make Visas commit suicide for you, and when you do that,Nihilis bows before you and then you kill him, and you dont get the mask, you just get the crap that visas had equipped.
4.) The mask was just another item that was able to give you fore points back. The real thing there was visas killed herself to kill nihilis, like kreia threatened to do to you. I liked the metaphor where someone talked about nihilis was the spector that was created when the exile turned away from the force( dark side had to go somewhere...) that also explains why he evaporates when you win the battle. Inverse your character and kreia, your character gets nihilified and kreia gets young again, like your character is or looks.
5.) Really cool glitch that i found on the xbox version of this game. This makes the Handmaiden stronger than your character if you do it right.
When you talk to her, and duel her, and then jedify her, you do the "those look like jedi robes..." yea yea we all know. Anyway, when you first get her, do not level her up, she stays at lever 6 until you can jedify her.
By the time this happens you should have 2 of the 5 jedi master planets done( its 5 cuz of Dxun) Now when you get her jedified, level her up all the way, maximizing her vitality and her force points. Now the thing is, if you did this right( i really dont know why this happened, or if the planet order had something to do with it), but i was browsing around looking for someting to get dark side points from talkin to her, and the robe option came up. so i chose it, and went as if i was just now jedifying her. Then the kreia cutscene comes on again( you know, the gay ::Betrayal:: one... yea) anyway. but instead of goin back to Atris' cutscene on telos, it black screened on me.
Well i thought i was royally screwed, but i saved it, hopeing that the blackness would go away. Well it did, i loaded the game that i just saved, and the screen came back and i was gawking at handmaiden in the cargo hold.
Now i didnt discover that she had just been rejedifyed until some time later, i think it was about 1 hour of game play later. I had others in my party, wasnt worrying about leveling up, because if you recall, i had already leveled her up.
When i went to get her in my party, (i think this is the point where i was killing all the slavers on Nar Shadaa) i saw the gay L on her picture, so i hit "start" to investigate. Well turns out, she had been reduced to level 6 soldier, level 0 jedi guardian.
I was like "O my fuc*ing god! i just found the motherlode of glitches" so i proceded to level her up all the way back to 19 or 20, something like that. I noticed that she was level 6 soldier and 0 jedi but she had like 150 force, and 234 vitality, she had also retained all the feats and powers. so i proceded to level her up again. I got about 13 force power strings all the way to "master" level, and she had 500 vitality and like 300 force. Well, me being Darth Bacardi, decided to do the glitch again, and get her to 9999999999-forever on vitality and force, unfortunately, it was not a purposely programed cheat, only a glitch and i could not get her to talk about becoming a jedi again.
It was great tho, when i did the Dxun thingy where u go to freedon naddz tomb, and kill eveyone and everything that moves, she didnt break a sweat. I killed the people in the tomb itself( the three sith lords in the place you have to get to) with a master speed, and a master flurry in two rounds each. I averaged 70 points per hit, but not even that was enuff to take down the guys, they had like 1/16 of their total health left after the first blow.
After doing this Dxun thingy, its the last time you actually get to use her extreme power glitch. I think that if you can do the duels in the bare minimum time, you can get to use her power before the game is over.
ANYWAY.... that is my take on the Nihilis thing, and Sion's razor blade problem. I also hope you enjoy the Handmaiden glitch
Later guys
Darth Bacardi
I was reading this forum when an idea came to me.
Darth Nihilus is the personification of Malachor V.
The connection between Nihilus and The Exile is due to the Exile's disconnection from the force after causing the deaths of so many people at Malachor V.
The Exile's battle with Nihilus is necessary for the Exile to come to terms with what happened and the taking of the mask symbolizes acceptance of responsibility (something that the Jedi Masters refer to constantly).
Visus's description of what Nihilus looked like: "A graveyard with ships floating around it" is Malachor V, after the Mass Shadow Generator was activated Malachor became a graveyard.
In that it would be fair to say that Nihilus is a part of the Exile as Nihilus represents an event that defined the Exile's future.
It feels weird to be vaguely helpful around here.

It's that Prophecy (how original), apparently.
Originally posted by nmensfinestVery true, Even their alias names are alive.
Lmfao, Nihilus is so badly the biggest Galactus rip-off.
Galactus has 2 alias names
The devourer of worlds
The ravager of worlds
While according to the visual guide nihilus nickname is
The ravager of worlds
And he does the same thing as galactus. Drained planets
And whats even more ironic is nihilus power field which drains the planets. It is nearly identical to galactus planet draining ability in FF ROTSS. Those powerfields come in the form of a cloud by the way
Well here is what i think sorry for the Crypticness
Darth Nihilius is the void of the force the monster spawned of Malachor V much like the Exile. Darth Nihilius is the screams of the thousands of Jedi and Mandolorians that died at Malachor V he is not a Man he is a Force a being that Hungers for Death for Death is what he is.
If you dident get that he is the Dark Force Energy from those Jedi that at their last moments felt such intense anger at Revan and their General for Betraying them and slaughtering them all.
Another one of my Speculations is that DARTH NIHILIUS is one of the TRUE SITH that Revan went after.
