Building comparison
head to head
Dark Souls IIIvsTitan Souls
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Dark Souls III
Execution · Practiced Mastery
The fastest mainline Souls, distilling the formula into aggressive boss duels.
Titan Souls
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A one-hit boss-rush where solving each titan still demands perfect execution.
Dark Souls III leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Titan Souls leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Titan Souls
One arrow, one hit point; every shot must be perfect

PvP invasions exist but are optional
Titan Souls
Bosses are scripted patterns, not adaptive minds

movesets and builds are fully mappable
Titan Souls
Each titan has a solvable weak-point strategy
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
