What does Nashandra want?

Nashandra, a fragment of Manus, desires ultimate power, specifically access to the First Flame and the Throne of Want, to overcome her inherent weakness and fill her insatiable lust for strength, manipulating King Vendrick and the player to do her bidding so she can seize the throne and its power for herself. She uses others, like King Vendrick and the player character (Bearer of the Curse), as tools to gather the strength and items (like the Giant's Kinship) needed to reach the throne, as she is too weak or blocked from accessing it herself.

Dark Souls 2 is about 20% longer I'd say but not any harder. SotFS is harder but for all the wrong reasons. Absurd enemy placement, ridiculous enemy tracking, slow, sluggish mechanics.

What is the canon ending in Dark Souls 2?

Talking about only DS2, the cannon ending for me is the one where you reject the Throne of Want and (for what is implied) team up with Aldia to find a permanent cure for the curse. That makes the most sense to me. In this ending, you take the lead and continue Vendrik's work before Nashandra showed up.

What's the hardest video game ever?

There's no single "hardest" game, but top contenders include FromSoftware's Souls-like games (Dark Souls, Sekiro) for punishing combat, retro classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins (one-hit kills) and Battletoads (infamous Turbo Tunnel), precision platformers like Cuphead & Super Meat Boy, and infamous indie challenges like I Wanna Be the Guy (troll traps) and Getting Over It (frustrating physics). The hardest often depends on your weakness: reflexes, pattern recognition, or patience.
