The one case I always think of when talking about the use of co-op is Ornstein and Smough. Probably the most infamous boss battle I'm aware of, to the net, and it's the most common boss fight I see get people to ask for fellow players to get on and help with in a forum.Going solo's not impossible, by any means, it can just be a giant pain the ass.

Yeah, that was the one I used an NPC helper on. Definitely a kick in the dick if you run in there unaware of what awaits you, which I did thinking it would just be a boss fight like any of the others before that. I died less than 15 seconds after finishing the cinematic. It was hilariously sad.

Four Kings, too. If you're not ready for it, that fight is just.... blenderdick.

Yeah, I could see that being horrible if you don't know what's going on, largely because of that run back from Firelink Shrine through a bunch of ghosts and Darkwraiths. Took me one attempt to figure out what was up and how best to damage them with what I had, then I ran in there with a totally different gear layout and torched them all with Pyromancy without any problems. :lol
