I think it was Prepare to Die on XBox 360. My XBox also had trouble reading disks, so it could also be the disk drive.

I have since purchased on PC and will give it another shot at some point, I think my anger has subsided over the past 10 years.

And not sure a cute boy would help, I’m more into women 😜

But either my SO or one of my kids cheering me on would certainly help. I did crush the Asylum Demon, I rage quit somewhere on the tower. I’ve since played several difficult-ish games (Ys series esp Ys1 and Ys Origin, Furi, Titan Souls), I just haven’t gotten back to DS.
