Dark Souls from its gameplay to its story, the trilogy is filled with exceptional content and has been coined as one of the best series of all time. Today I want to examine the game's lore and not retell the game events but also critique them along the way and see if they truly are some of the best stories of all time.

Update: The last minute of the video has been removed. Bandai Namco has recently started purging Dark Souls 3 music off Youtube, and this part of the video was a montage/send off using DS3 music. I'm sure this counts as fair use, but that claim has always been flimsy so I temporarily removed it. Unfortunately, that means the video ends abruptly for no real reason. I might revert the changes at a later date but if you care to see it what I removed. Here is the link to the video on my Twitter. twitter.com/GingyYoutube/status/178028510811045526…

The only thing you ever need to know about Dark Souls lore. "It's all Gwyn's fault."

Just FYI the entire Artorias of the Abyss was built around telling the story that WE were the Legend of Artorias. WE killed Manus and drove out the abyss, but let Artorias take credit for it instead of letting history be that Artorias was overcome with the abyss and tried to stop us so we had to kill him. In my humble opinion it's the best part of the original Dark Soul's narratives, and one of the least ambiguous.

About Ornstein in 3: You find Smough's armor in 3 as well. The description for the armor tells you that he was the last remaining guardian of Anor Londo. As I understand it this means that at some point in time Ornstein left, and then Gwyndolin created an illusion of the Dragon Slayer in order to help maintain the idea that Anor Londo was still in it's prime

In Dark Souls III, when the player kills Yuria, she says "Kaathe, I have failed thee", proving that she and the other Sisters of the Sable Church, and thus Londor by extension, are followers of Kaathe. In the original Japanese she says "...Kaathe... your dying wish was not fulfilled..." which would imply that despite having followers, Kaathe is no longer alive during the events of Dark Souls III.

After the release of Elden Ring, many people were able to get what they wanted. But, for me personally, few things can surpass the emotions and history of the Dark Souls series. A series that many developers are still trying to match, trying to repeat the success of the franchise.

I just watched all 3 hours, and that was a magical experience. Thank you for spelling out so succinctly everything that makes this series so grand.

I actually like the theory that since we find out Anor Lando is under the effects of an illusion, Ornstein and Smough being in ds1 is just part of that illusion. They're just Gwyndolin's memories of the past glory. Obviously there is no way to know for sure, but Ornstein being in ds3 does add some credibility to this theory.

"Frampt and Kaath are basically playing a long game of chess but without the stakes. Regardless of who wins, they both continue to live" I've definitely been playing chess wrong

"The inability to let go of what they know, and continue this age of fire, will only make things worse." I am a recovering addict so this overarching theme of the souls series is why I absolutely love it. I don't know exactly how to explain myself fully, but hearing that said really hit home for me. Not only game wise but in a real tangible way. The linking of the flame is kind of like letting go of the part of me that thrives in oblivion. Whilst existing in the blissful state of being high all the time, I am watching the world around me go to shit from my own action, and inversely, inaction. There for when I actually made a change in my life and got out my own way, I could live a life that brought me joy and fulfillment. I don't know if this is making any sense but hey, there ya' go. Great video Gingy, I really enjoyed it! Thank you for the experience!

Played DS2 twice and never pieced together that the Last Giant and the Giant Lord were the same being. Good stuff. I stopped at DS3's intro because i javent played it yet, your videos on 1&2 are magnificent. Love it, keepnup the good work

Interesting fact the person who frees you from you prison cell in DS1 was supposed to play a more major role. He thought he was the chosen undead but as you progress through the game he realizes he isn’t fulfilling what he thought was his destiny. It isn’t until you beat Gwen that he will fight you no matter what ending you choose in order to prove to himself that he is the chosen undead. I wish that was kept into the game.

I actually recently read that the head of Fromsoft, Miazaki, purposefully doesn't explaine every aspect of the story. He used to read books in languages he didn't understand and liked that it was his imagination that had to fill in the things he didn't know. He wanted to share that feeling of wonder and speculation with his soon to be fan base.

I will never be so overwhelmed as when I finally rang the bell and stumbled down back to the Firelink Shrine to find Frampt, and barely understand what the hell he is let alone what he’s asking of me or what he really wants. Been diving into lore videos ever since, and redive and redive when I find another lore tuber.

I think, regarding the Twin Princes in DS3, the epic nature of their fight is really symbolic of both who they are and the point in the game you're at. It's both that Lothric and Lorian don't want to die, and are willing to fight their hardest to stop you from killing them, and that they're the last thing standing between you and the Kiln. You have to kill this defiant representation of life in this dying world. It doesn't really matter which ending you choose, because either way everyone is dead anyway. Just an anecdote I thought I'd share.

I think Nito is so Lore light is because despite being the embodiment of dearth, death itself has lost meaning due to the undead curse. The world and the game kinda tells you he is in many ways forgot about.

I can see their intent to keep Nito's story simple, it's like the definition of death, no one knows what is it exactly, but it just exists.

so you can sum it up with the truly great Dark Souls quote from the protagonist John Darksoul: "every soul has it's dark". it really nails what the series is about.

I've always enjoyed the thought of ending the game by sitting next to the Fire Keeper as the dark sets in, watching as the world is changed forever, and wrapping an arm around her shoulder to comfort her. All is not lost yet, and there is more to come. And no matter how dark it becomes, I will be there to see it with you.
