Sion has numerous accolades indicating that he's very powerful, lol. He's stated to have "dark and devastating powers" and is an "ultra-powerful monster of the dark side".Please don't speak about topics you know nothing about.
Oh, thats right, he can't.
Cause he sucks. 🙂

At no point did he ever say that he, himself, was keeping himself alive.
Its implied that it was just the Dark Side himself.
Had nothing to do with power.
"Few Sith Lords hold mastery over pain or hatred like Darth Sion, Lord of Pain. His visage is terrible to behold: a decomposing body held together by dark side energies channeled by Sion himself, sustaining his life through the Force, powered by anger and hatred. He is in eternal pain but endures it as a small price for apparent immortality. However, in the end, despite his anger, hatred, and manipulation of dark side energy, the Lord of Pain could not defeat the Jedi Exile."
Well that was easy 🙂
"Perhaps the most rage-filled Sith Lord yet encountered, Darth Sion is a shattered mesh of flesh and bone. Sion is in constant pain, but his body is held together by will and fury. He is a True, Immortal manifestation of the Dark Side of the Force. A feared Lightsaber Assassin, Sion's chaotic wrath is directed towards Sith and Jedi alike."
As for Darth Sion's feats. He beat Darth Traya in melee combat near the beginning of the game. She lacked the force augmentation that she would usually have, but Traya was a peer of Yusanis in the Echani dueling techniques, which would allow non force-sensitives to combat Sith and Jedi.
His defeating of her suggests a superiority over a legendary warrior who Revan killed personally.
He was hand trained by Revan, and was a peer of Atton Rand, either killing him or being killed by him in what is deemed an intense and close fight. Atton being capable of killing Jedi Knights before anyone even discovered he was force sensitive. Atton who was trained to mastery in each form of Lightsaber Combat by the Jedi Exile. Atton who fought through an academy of Sith Lords. Atton who defeated a Dark Jedi Master in single combat, after said master absorbed the energies of the Tomb of Freedon Nadd. This being after Atton already fought through hoards of Sith Commandos, beasts and Dark Jedi.
Sion's slain countless Jedi and Sith, what makes you think Boba will stand out stronger than the best of them, while also managing to finally kill an immortal who can withstand a Force Wave capable of destroying the bridge of a capital ship:
"Nihilus does not move, camera shows him from the front, half side, as Sion walks away behind him. Nihilus turns, dark wave energy exploding from him, blasting Sion back, as supports smash down around him."

Her not being able to find Force Enlightenment on DK is ****ing stupid, considering that presumably did so on Malachor V, which was a far worse nexus. So authorial stupidity has to be considered, to an extent. Just searching for in-universe explanations won't work.
I'm not sure on this one to be honest, Dromund Kaas is a lot more powerful than most people give it credit for. The place has two confirmed dark side nexus sites: The Dark Citadel and the Dark Temple. This is besides the fact Dromund Kaas was already a place of dark side power, before Emperor Vitiate turned up and started immense dark side experiments, turning the ionosphere into a permanent dark side miasma and corrupting the flora and fauna of the entire planet.
Don't forget that Revan admits that his ability to see the future is clouded by the dark side of the Force, so even he was hindered to some degree by Dromund Kaas.
Over the next 3,700 years that power waned over time due to inactivity and the Dark temple became a ruin, until the Dark Side Prophets constructed a new Dark Force Temple on the remains. The place clearly wasn't as powerful as it was in the Old Republic era. Even despite that fact, it rendered Mara Jade incapable of using anything but dark side powers, corrupted Kyle Katarn into a dark sider with pretty crazy powers and decades later, Ben couldn't feel the Force at all, Jaina and Luke's reflexes were described as being bogged down by 'mental sewage' exuding from the Dark Force Temple which was still way, way off.
The biggest difference of course being the presence of numerous dark council members, countless other Sith and the Emperor himself, who can hinder Jedi with his mere presence in the Force.
Moreover, we have no idea if the Exile did use enlightenment on Malachor V, only that she was mentally, spiritually and physically hindered considerably the entire time. That was described as the worst event of her life, putting just the surface of Malachor V above Korriban, Darth Nihilus and the Ravager, and even the mental anguish of the MSG detonation that would've killed her if she hadn't cut herself off from the Force. That isn't considering how much worse the effects would've been the closer she got to the massive geyser of dark side energy in the Trayus Core.
I'm on the fence here.
