Went through a fog door in the Garden until I encountered a giant and promptly turned tail and ran. Too many souls to lose at the time.

Darkroot garden is an ugly place with many dangers, but has good loot as well. Moreover, there are so many doors that open into other parts of the world. Giant(s) can be killed, but take a lot of damage. Unfortunately they also respawn if you die.
