I enjoy a certain amount of difficulty, but banging my head against a wall for five days against the same boss, having fully explored everywhere and gotten all the tools and skills possible up to that point in the game is not fun. "Git gud" is not a legitimate argument, it's a pompous refrain. Installing a mod is the only thing that brought the fun back after spending over half of my game time fully frustrated. Fun with mods, mid with the base game.
