The thing people don't get about Souls games is the game isn't about "being too hard," so much as it's about exploring and experimenting with the things that you find. The difficulty is centered around that. The more you explore/find and become familiar with your inventory/abilities, the easier the game becomes.

In Elden Ring, there was a dragon kicking my ass, and I could never get him down to even half of his health. Felt like I needed to gain like 30 levels before I could have a chance. Before giving up, I changed my armor up and equipped a spell that added red lightning to my weapon, and that dragon was dead on my 2nd try.

Cool thing about that, the armor set and spell were both things that were dropped by a mini-boss in same region as that dragon. It's like in each region of the game, the developers are giving you the items you will need to be successful in that region. You just have to pay attention to what you're picking up.
