LucasArts has confirmed the Darth Sion rumors. He is the second KotOR 2 character to be announced. This is what they say about him:
Darth Sion A twisted wreck, Darth Sion is a Sith Lord held together only by sheer force of will. Every bone in his body has been shattered and rebuilt, turning his skeleton and his flesh into a patchwork mass of bruises and scraping bone. He is in constant pain, and only his hatred and the power of the Dark Side keeps him alive.
There is also a picture. While he's not this creepy fellow, he might actually be creepier looking.
Posted by Frinklin at July 14, 2004 06:13 PMI don't know if he's "creepier." I mean, I've seen mangled video game characters before, but that dude with the mask is just free-kee.
Posted by: Richard at July 14, 2004 07:56 PMI will give you that one, Mask Guy is freaky in a new way, Darth Sion is creepy, but in a been there-done that kinda way.
Posted by: frinklin at July 14, 2004 08:54 PMthe mask dude... is a mask girl/// isnt it? you can see it in the xbox magazine ads--
darth sion is cool... it sounds like hell be difficult to kill-- i love a challenge
Posted by: ee at November 5, 2004 11:30 AMI've heard that theory in a couple places. I've heard that free-kee Mask guy and silver-hair girl (possibly named Atris) are the same person, and whoever comes out is determined by which way you play the game. I've also seen it speculated that Darth Mask Guy is actually Bastilla after she's gone totally over to the DS.
I dunno if I believe either one.
Posted by: frinklin at November 10, 2004 07:35 PMI dont think the darth mask guy is Bastilla i think its Revan..... but i have only started playing the game so i guess its time to find out
Posted by: ... at December 12, 2004 07:34 PMAttention, everyone. After careful research and the completion of the game, I figured out that the masked guy, Darth Nihilus (Lord of Hunger), is actually a man, not Atris, not Bastilla, not Revan, not anyone familiar. The proof would show after you defeat him and Visas, the blind seer in the red outfit, unmasks him.
Also, I agree with ee, I had one heck of a time trying to beat Darth Sion, that blasted hard-edge corspe. But however, he does have a soft spot for the main character (yours), especially if it's female. Keep that in mind.
I saw my friend beat KotOR 2 actually Sion didn't look all that hard...
Of course I only saw him play, I beat KotOR 1 like 50 times that game is just too cool, and easy.
I'd have to see for myself if Sion is hard but he doesn't look all that difficult.
I've had this game since it came out but my damned XBox got fried from the inside, thus keeping me from playing my game and erasing all of my data from the first one and all of the other games that I had saved...
Again with Sion I just thought about it. What class were you? I in the last one had a character that was a Sentinel becuase I liked the name but I made a horrible choice I'm the type that likes good melee combat making it more difficult to just go up and fight.
I beat the game like that but it was harder than when I was a gaurdian.
Speaking of beating the game heheh you should try beating Malak with your short sword then guns then just beating him with your hands... Trust me it's a challenge, the uh hand to hand part.
Thanks for your viewpoints, Dreadnaught. Sorry about your XBOX. Hope you get it fixed or get a new one as soon as possible.
To answer your question, I was a sentinel, since I want the level up to be equally average and I just like stealth mode. It's really cool to me. Also, I've never played the first KOTOR before. I just got into the Star Wars RPG game, so I think I'll try it sooner or later.
Oh, yea, and one more thing...I was half lying in my first post. At first, I did have a hard time beating Sion, but then I managed to beat him on my first try by continously using Force Wave. Even though at times he's not affected by it, he still recieves damage, so I didn't have much of a problem.
That's all for me. Let me hear you out!
I hope you enjoyed KotOR 2 because if you did you'll love the first one though I never really experienced the second one but I'm assuming it's just as good.
I don't really have much to talk about but if you play the first one and reach Malak just post something and I'll give you a really good... Ok a tip.
It's nothing special but it rips him off so.
Also if you're lookin for good robes get to the last level and I'll tell you.
Oh and if you find Bendak's armor and Dominator Gauntlets please tell me because I have no idea where they are and it's gettin to me because I like know where everything is on that game because I've done like everything...
In the first game? Bendak's armour isn't a usable item, only his blaster. You can get Mandalorian Armour from the Mandalorian Commanders on Kashyyk and the Rakata world.
Dominator Gauntlets are available in the "premium items" shop on Korriban.
Posted by: frinklin at January 9, 2005 11:10 PMWow then what I heard was false... Good!
I already had Bendak's pistol, it's nothing special.
That's it? That's where they are? Wow I guess I didn't see them, too bad wouldv'e been a good addition to my collection of strength giving items (the good ones such as Cassus Fett's armor and Revan's robes).
Hmm, well thanks Frinklin that's a relief at least I don't have to search for that armor anymore.
No ones said anything for a long time, where are you guys???
Anyway been awake for 36 hrs so gonna go to sleep later... Oh is anyone into boxing???
Later.
how all ya doing has any on found any new items
Posted by: darth mengils at February 3, 2005 10:42 AMhave you guys played as any of the prestege classes
any body here
Posted by: darth mengils at February 3, 2005 10:48 AMthis is boring
Posted by: darth mengils at February 3, 2005 10:48 AMBout time someone wrot something!
Darth Traya is crazy with those 3 lightsabers.
Posted by: Darth Furious at February 23, 2005 02:00 PMYo. Just visited this site. Yeh I've heard Darth Nihilus is like half the Sith Malak was...I didn't get to Nihilus yet so I'm a bit skeptical on people's opinions on him. But he's got to be the coolest/freakiest Sith Lord I've encountered in a Star Wars game. He just gives off a presence that you'd die if you were a mile within his being. But anyway thats my opinion. I dunno if they did something like this..but in the PC version I think you should get a modifier so you can be like Darth Sion or Darth Nihilus as a playable character. That would be pretty kickass.
Posted by: Darth Nihilus at February 26, 2005 08:03 PMwhy.. no one can beat the fucking hell out of me u morons! im Revan from kotor1,, why shud i gve a fuck to sion's broken body! actually. i broke that son of a bitch four times! 2 times as a girl, light/dark side and same in the other gender.
how bout we fuck nihilus 9 time?
did revan make a comeback on kotor 2?
is she dead?
Yeah... I finally beat the game, and again, and again...
This game was really easy, fun but too easy.
Anyway hey you guys beat it with a gun character, also, Canderous when I played this I noticed... Oh um... Mandalore is Canderous I didn't find out his story for the facts but he has to be because he sounds like him, acts like him, Kreia mentions that he was left on the edge of the galaxy by "Him" (if you say Revan's a male), and Mandalore says that he's traveled with jedi, I find this suspicious because he's Mandalorian, and they don't really like the jedi so anyway.
Kreia, was easy... I finally got around to beating her with my hands after my freind said he did, also like I said before I also beat Malak the same way, actually I've beaten him like every way.
Posted by: Dreadnaught at March 15, 2005 06:33 PMMy freind made a very interesting observation, Nihilus he said could possibly be a sith like not the religous faction type sith, but the actual Sith race in which the religous sith adopted their culture and ideals.
Nihilus considering he pretty much unknown to everything and only exists through the force, might actually support that theory.
Hey what's everyones saber strength and such?
Posted by: Dreadnaught at March 15, 2005 06:44 PMWow I never thought of that, Nihilus being an actual Sith. thats cool. Lightsaber str. on which game?
Posted by: Sith Master at April 16, 2005 01:28 PMhwen i started playing KOTOR 2 i was playin at night by myself with the lighs off and the first level was as scary as hell.(the mining station that is)
Posted by: Sith Master at April 16, 2005 01:32 PMThere must be a Character Modifier for this game. Man i really NEED to play as Darth Nihilus.
Posted by: Darth Godard at April 24, 2005 10:22 PMGodard-If you have the PC version you can head to pcgamemods.com or starwarsknights.com and pick up a mod to allow you to use Darth Nihilus' look.
You don't get all the combat animations though.
Posted by: frinklin at April 24, 2005 10:35 PMNvm. I already hacked the game on my own. I made a game save with Nihilus, Sion, Revan, Traya. Thanks for the info anyway ^^
Posted by: Darth Godard at April 25, 2005 05:15 AMdarth sion is the greatest most powerful dark lord since darth revan and we all know why darth revan was such a great sith lord
Posted by: darth badmana at April 27, 2005 04:09 PMI have both of the games and darth sion was a pathetic attempt to stop me from beating the game.HA i followed the way of the sith and became a sith lord.in kotor2 u get to acually choose to be a sith lord as a class,soooo...thats what i was and i made darth sion scream uncle
Posted by: Darth Revan at May 3, 2005 07:55 PMHA darth sion felll to me when i used force kill i took his ass down with a single glance...oh and darth revan we should be allies we have the same thing in common
Posted by: Darth cyclone at May 3, 2005 07:59 PMI have faced Darth sion 5 times now. Someone should really explain an easier way to beat him then Malee attacks....
Posted by: The Real Darth Revan at May 16, 2005 12:30 AMnvm u have to run....
Posted by: The Real Darth Revan at May 16, 2005 12:43 AMi went to dart sions planet first and when i got to him i still didnt have my lightsabre how can i bet him?
Posted by: thekid596 at May 22, 2005 02:03 PMdarth sion and nihilus are easy to beat what is wrong with you people!
Posted by: SithSlayer at May 22, 2005 08:43 PMoh and by the way Darth Revan knows what he's talking about. all u need to beat sion is have force lightning and master heal. u can figure it out.
Posted by: SithSlayer at May 22, 2005 08:46 PMDarth sion is hard but the other 1 is hard 2 sion is the hardest cause he cant die u have 2 persuade him 2 stop usin force and the other 1 is darth nihlus not revan or Bastilla
Posted by: Munty at June 5, 2005 07:27 AMI killed Darth Sion just like that all i did was keep on using the force crush, i was on the dark side.
Posted by: Darth Sidious at June 5, 2005 09:15 AMWanna know a cool weigh of beating malak what u do is keep runing in big circles so he cant catch u so your force points regenerate, then u keep throwing light sabers at him and make sure to throw your light saber at all thows tanks with dead people in it so it helps kill him faster then he has no more health to get.!! HOPE ITS USEFUL!!
Posted by: Darth Sidious at June 5, 2005 09:23 AMto the kid hey kid596 do u have any good force powers if u have force crush itll work really good u just gotta keep using ig or maybe the "kill" power will work i never used that one on him but i know the 1 st one does!!
Posted by: Darth Sidious at June 5, 2005 09:27 AMDid u know when u kill nihilus u can take his mask but u cant wear it wich that sucks!
Posted by: Darth Sidious at June 5, 2005 11:08 AMDarth Sidious, a better way to beat Malak is, instead of destroying the guys in the tanks, using drain life or death field to boost your vitality. That way you stay in top shape and he can't use them against you.
Posted by: Darth Bane-anas at June 7, 2005 10:35 AMthanx Darth Bane-anas didnt no that one. But right now im playing #2. but thanx ill try that.!
Posted by: Darth Sideous at June 9, 2005 05:43 PMDarth Traya is so damn easy i killed her on my first try.
Posted by: Darth Sion at June 18, 2005 10:53 AMHOW?!?! how did ya beat her? I just can't get trough those three lightsabers?

Posted by: Darth Vader at August 28, 2005 09:26 AMThe "freekee" mask guy is actually called Lord Nihilus and was one of the strongest Sith Lords in terms of force strength and the other "freekee" guy is Lord Sion, his apprentice.
