They do. Like you said, sekiro has the bell. Ds 2 has the covenant of champions. Ds 1 and 3 both have the calamity ring, which add extra difficulty because not only does it double damage received, but you also have to give up a ring slot which is an even bigger handicap in ds 1. But it sucks because in both games you get the rings super late.
Imo ds 2 does the hard mode best. Available from the start, more damage received and less delt, enemies respawn endlessly and you can’t summon but still get invaded.
Technically the covenant of champions goves the best ring in the game so of you pain through 30 invasions, you do gain benefit.
Also, by invasions I meant forced offline NPC imvasions in known spots where they easily respawn.
