@nothingformoney When you do, make sure you get all the giant souls. Makes the fight much easier. Optional bosses are best imo. I took on all of the optional ones :)
Here's the thing about Dark Souls and its players: Many are invading and trolling asshats. Once you get past that, Dark Souls becomes so much more than a dungeon crawler. The addiction factor only sets in when you begin to understand how the game works. You're supposed to listen to everything you're told, it's as simple as that.
