When all feels lost look at your avatar and know that nothing in this game is as scary as that thing. 
try tongue but hole

In comparison to others? Yeah, you barely had areas where you would get invaded, and there were hardly any proper PvP zones. Souls games at least have fun covies like blademoons, dark wraiths, and "we protect this one zone covenant of we invade anyone that enters this zone, but only ever this zone", shit like that. BB shit I could go hours without ever remotely being invaded. When you got into PvP it was fine (albeit 20 blood vials means, that shit is a fucking drag), but actually PvPing, it doesn't happen nearly as often as the previous games. And I played that game religiously during its launch weeks.
True, I usually invaded people though so I had plenty of fights.
Beat the giant, that's two down. Interesting fight, it basically has cheat mode. So easy to cheese on coop for easy souls.
Demon's Souls? Flamelurker
Dark Souls? The Four Kings
Dark Souls 2? Freja
Bloodborne? Vicar Amelia
I was SO close to never summoning in Souls 3....but I decided to complete an optional area in the game and the final boss of that area? Good god. Probably 30 attempts later I broke down and summoned someone. From what I've read he is the most difficult boss in the game, so I don't feel that bad about summoning.
Fuckin' Gemini REEEEEED!
