** A special shout-out goes to the sequence in which you open a door, go through a small corridor, open another door and find yourself in a collapsed room. A total dead end. You turn back, leave the room, but as you're exiting the corridor the door slams shut and Sith Assassins spawn in. It's almost like a jump-scare, and considering this room is directly opposite the entrance to the Academy, it's possible this is the first place many new players will find themselves in

** His outfit is pretty scary too: totally black robes and a mask made of bone. It only makes it scarier when you hear from Visas that he doesn't have a body because he's devoured himself and all that remains is his essence, using the Force to keep his physical shape.

* The cut-scene with Darth Sion beating up Kreia. She's laying there after being defeated by Nihilus, completely defenceless as Sion [[FacepalmOfDoom lifts her up]] and she's emitting a muffled, terrified scream just before he [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brutally beats the crap out of her]] with the dark side JumpScare sound clip playing all the while.

* The implication Kreia's analysis of The Force has for the whole StarWars universe. What if the Force really is a [[GodIsEvil cruel entity]] that continually demands war and blood sacrifices to sustain it, fed by a cyclical religious war between two over-simplistic schools of philosophy, playing both sides and manipulating all life so that it has a constant supply of death to feed on? And the best case scenario is continuing to doom the universe to more of the same?
* Kreia's plan to kill the Force using the Exile. The Force has been stated to be the source of all life in the GFFA on more than one occasion. What would have happened if Kreia succeeded? She herself predicts at the very least ''every single'' Force user would either die, or have to forcibly sever themselves from the Force. Including ''herself''. And she considers that a fully acceptable sacrifice.
* The blunt way Atton describes what he used to do for a living, and why he had to run from it. He had a Jedi prisoner, and he went in for the usual methods to break her, but she warned him that he was a Sensitive, and was going to find himself on the torture table once his bosses figured it out. He strangled her to death, part out of fear and part "because I loved her."

* The Dark Side endings to your party members can be pretty ominous. Atton goes back to being a killer and murders the Jedi for their compassion, the Handmaiden will be completely consumed by battling, the Disciple basically becomes early Palpatine, Visas goes on a rampage towards everyone that has slighted her, and if you somehow managed to make Mira fall to the Dark Side, which is quite difficult without getting Hanharr as Darksiders usually have him joins unless one manages their [[KarmaMeter Dark/Light Side meter]] carefully, then she will no longer hold back on killing people. Congratulations, your influence has managed to make everyone who looked up to you into LackOfEmpathy AxCrazy [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]]

* The first two stages of ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic II: The Sith Lords'' make up an exercise in creepy. In the optional prologue, the player controls T3-M4 on the shattered wreck of the ''Ebon Hawk'', the only other occupants of which are another droid, one nearly-dead Jedi, several corpses, and something in a sealed cargo room that ''won't stop banging on the door.'' This is eerie enough, but when the player finally takes control of the main PlayerCharacter, it's to regain consciousness on a remote mining station and discover that someone or something has systematically crippled the station and murdered ''everyone else there'' while you were unconscious. Right around the time the tension is at its highest, the PC meets the [[spoiler:HK-50 assassin droid]] responsible... and, although the extensive dialogue that ensues makes it abundantly clear what went down, the PC isn't able to ''do'' anything about it until quite a bit later.

** Made a CrowningMomentOfFunny if you have HK by that point: [[ColdHam "Staaatmeeent: Aaapathy is deeeeaaaath."]]

* Malachor V itself is one of the creepiest settings in the entire game. It's a graveyard of a world, almost entirely devoid life for storm beasts, hostile creatures twisted by the Dark Side. And the Trayus Academy isn't exactly welcoming or safe, either.
** To elaborate: Malachor's surface is little more than a collection of jagged rocks and huge chasms, with storms up in the sky practically 24/7, and with cracks in the ground that release poisonous gas pockets if stepped on; the only form of life that one can find there is a species of hulking humanoid-reptilian monstrosities corrupted by prolonged exposure to the dark side of the Force. And there are corpses remaining from the end of the Mandalorian wars, ''all over the place'', as well as remnants of ships torn to pieces. And as for Trayus Academy, well, let's just say that an active Sith Academy full of students and Sith of all kinds that are out for your blood is not exactly the most welcoming place in the galaxy.

''Knights of the Old Republic II'' as a whole is significantly darker in theme when compared to its predecessor, or even other Star Wars-related media as a whole. Its bleak atmosphere and grey morality what truly make it stand out in the franchise, and it doesn't come without a few chills.

*** Going through The Harbinger is the worst part. It's littered with corpses and invisible Sith Assassins that pops up every now and then, especially when you enter a dead road. And Darth Sion is skulking around and of course he shows up in the worst part, the long, empty hallway with flickering lights. The creepy music only make the whole sequence even more creepy.

** [[FridgeHorror The implications with Nihilus' force drain ability]]. [[spoiler: The force, especially when it comes to force ghosts are treated like [[OurSoulsAreDifferent souls in the setting]]. And Nihilus is viewed as a black hole of the force and feeds on it. Unless it's stored and released upon his death, it could mean that being drained by him is the same of having your soul destroyed and leaving you DeaderThanDead.]]

''Knights of the Old Republic II'' as a whole is significantly darker in theme when compared to its predecessor, or even other Star Wars-related media as a whole. Its bleak atmosphere and imagery are what truly make it stand out in the franchise. To put it in perspective, being dumped on a deserted mining colony full of corpses is just the beginning.
