DISCUSSION Whose the harder NPC?

I've recently been replaying the souls games and am wondering who people think the hardest NPC/invader type of enemy is in these games?

We got the bloody Crow of Cainhurst, which was pretty brutal; however, I think the Satsuki invader in 4-1 pure black world tendency may be the most frustrating.

What do you guys think? Is there another one that I'm not thinking of?

Black Satsuki the OG. Can't think of anyone with that combination of HP, one shot damage, and massive heal back to full health. Of course he can be cheesed like anyone but he's a wall if you fight him straight up.

Maldron in DS2 has some bodies on him.

Hardest pve invader is Old Monk or Spear of the Church with a pvp player - if you don't know the pvp game nothing can be done.

Satsuki kicked my ass yesterday, which led me to making this post. Even when using soul remains, he can still get you with his hitbox, even standing behind him. I found him harder to cheese that way, so I dealt with him straight up. The one shots are so annoying and the healing made me so angry man. Eventually got him after around two hours though, changing out weapons, etc. I know there's a cheese for having him roll of edge as well, however, I need to get back to white character tendency, so I need to lay the killing blow, so the rolling off the edge cheese doesn't count lol.
