Can Anakin Resist Darth Nihilus' drain ability?

So recently I remembered a few things a about one of my favorite Star Wars games, Attack Of The Clones and I Saw that Anakin could resist the reaper's incredible drain that nearly destroyed/or did destroy one of Kashyyk's moons. So could he possibly do it? just curious

Yeah I've wondered, especially considering Kreia's - and the entire games, notion that only someone like the exile(a wound) Could beat someone like Nihilus, which begs the question. Can such a resistance be taught to everyone? I mean Ulic's tomb/Holocron taught to Anakin? so I'd assume that the ability could be learned.

No offense, but if you don't actually like this specific discussion/subject then you shouldn't have clicked on it and wasted your time commenting on it. it's just that simple.

Well, it's debatable.

I haven't read the passage in a while, but IIRC it describes the defense as creating your own nexus, or Resevoir of force energy, and forcing your opponent to feed on that... It'd still take a lot of effort, just probably less effort than the force drain is worth.

However I don't think he could do it if Nihilus drained him, because Anakin isn't a historian, he knows nothing of Nihilus' abilities in drain.

Even then, Nihilus would probably slaughter said "resevoir" and just obliterate Anakin once he was too tired.

So basically it's a Star Wars Patronus Charm?

Pretty much

And Nihilus is like 5 billion dementors. No Aberforth to the rescue this time.

Seriously, where are you getting this info on how Anakin's technique works?

Somewhere.

Neph just brought it up in another thread, so I assume he has the source.

I'll go looking for it though, I got it off the TOR forums, (Think it was Aurbere, I'll ask)

I do not.

It's been discussed before though. I'm going off of memory.

I just watched the vid where he learns it from Ulic. It apparently "harvest the power of the force around you making you immune to the Dark Reaper effects for a short time." So perhaps similar to what was claimed, perhaps not.

Well, it was gone into a lot more detail, and sourced from a Novel the way I remember it.

I'm going off memory too, Aurbere and Beni owe me favors from sourcing stuff for them, perhaps I can call those in on this...

The Dark Reaper has never been in a novel. And I doubt any of the guides went into any real detail. IIRC, the KotOR campaign guide certainly did not.

Idk about Anakin's technique, but the Exile's and Nihilus' "power" can't be taught. It's gained through certain experiences.

According to Kreia at least.

Anyway, Anakin didn't learn drain but rather a way to defend against it (or something similar).

What he asked is if the Exile's defense can be taught, which is a no, as far as we know. Whether or not other such defenses might exist is another matter my son.

Sure. I assumed you were talking about drain however. As Kreia claims drain can not be taught but must be experienced in order to learn. And considering the wording you used in your post, I assumed you were referring to that conversation.
