Invaded someone on my friends account where the host was at the starting area behind a blocking greatshield tank in a doorway. I couldn’t kill him while their red invader friend tries to kill me. I kill him twice somehow force the tank to move out of the door way and almost kill the host. Then as I die they taunt me since my friends character is level 30. If he had hornet ring the host would have been dead. I know invaders are at a disadvantage, but it seems every time I try to invade its 3 v 1.
Personally I think stuff like this is what makes the game so great. You get trolled like this, but there’s nothing stopping you and some friends from doing the same. Too many funny videos come out of stuff like this.
I’m pretty noobish when it comes to the Souls games since I’ve only played BB and DS3, but looking back I’m surprised that I didn’t get much of a reaction from

That stabbing Anri in the face to consolidate the marriage scene
Grotesque monsters like the centipedes in Irithyll or the one hanging out in Byrgenwerth I’ve grown accustomed to, but looking back there are seriously some fucked up shit in these games that I think From Software may need to see a psychiatrist.
In the Road of Sacrifices where you pick up the Divine Tome of Carim and Morne’s Ring, there are two dogs waiting around. One of them is pregnant, or maybe just has a belly. In any case, it’s different looking than any other dog (but behaves the same).
But it’s also WHERE you invade. Take the dragon place for instance. if you invade at the start of the area, you’ll usually be pitched against a Host of embers and maybe a blue spirit. But in front of the area’s final boss? It’s basically “The place where Hosts of embers go to farm red/mad phantoms.” Enjoy your 4 V 1.
But winning those is VERY satisfying. You can’t fight fair though. Spells are very powerful if you want to resort to trickery.
If you want a “fair” fight, try laying down an invasion sign. You’ll still get picked up by people that have a few phantoms waiting for you, but there are a lot of people who actually want a fair duel who will summon you for a 1v1.
