    DS1 shows you the idea that if something is actually too hard, you should probably go somewhere else.

    Fighting the Asylum Demon with a broken sword is a nightmare, but there’s an open gate in the arena you can run through. After the asylum, if you end up in the catacombs and the skeletons are too much, it’s a sign that you’re not ready for that area. Find another path. None of the challenges are that frustrating.

    DS3 on the other hand drops Gundyr on you at the beginning of the game with no alternative, and he’s harder than the Asylum Demon, and you don’t get the plunging attack opportunity to take a quarter of his health out. You have to learn how to fight a proper boss right from the start.

    However, both of them are trivial if you choose the firebombs as a starting gift.
