idk much of ds2 I think you're just a random undead that's able to get farther than others and nashadra has been using you the whole time

In the broadest stroke it's about entropy and the relationships between those who resist entropy and those who embrace it.

ctd.

in the beginning the dragons ruled over the world

then a small ember popped up outta nowhere - the first flame

the flame grows, humans appeared with it, or were drawn to it, not sure

gwyn found the great soul, became a living god; the furtive pygmy found the dark soul and stops being relevant, UNLESS he's actually manus, or behind manus

gwyn slaughters the dragons and splits the great soul between himself and his 4 niggas: 4kids, neato, seath and the witches of izalith

the era of fire and light begins, gwyn and his buddies chill in anal rodeo

at some point the fire begins to fade naturally, demons show up, the dark (polar opposite of the flame) begins to gain ground. this is where gwyn sacrifices himself to keep the fire going. it wouldn't last forever though, so the chosen undead meme surfaced, so that some poor undead would gain power and eventually immolate himself to keep the flame going, as gwyn wanted

izalith goes to shit cause the witches fucked up and created chaos trying to relight the flame

4kids are led astray by mean snek kaathe, who offer them the art of lifedrain, which eventually led to the darkwraith covenant appearing, and the subsequent sealing of new londo by the priests in red

seath goes mad with his search for immortality

neato is old and withering, just having a nap pretty much

more importantly, the darksign shows up on humans, marking the beginning of the curse of the undead

then DS1 begins, you're just some undead who is saved by Oscar of Astora and is pushed around to light the flame

>Dark Souls 1

The end is coming. Choose to either accept it or delay it, but there's no stopping it no matter what you do.

What's the explanation behind her and the doll?

DS2:

NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNRELATED

fire's pretty much gone in drangleic, it's about as bad as in oolacile (the other guy explained that part above)

it's set in drangleic. king vendrick of drangleic tried to fix the curse, but failed.
queen nashandra of drangleic is a fragment of manus so she wants the same power vendrick is getting but to rule over the dark instead of lighting the fire.
vendrick's brother aldia is very close to fixing the curse, and eventually the bearer of the curse (the ds2 protag) fixes it with the dlc, but only fixes himself.

the emerald herald just wants you to do the same as in DS1 though, get power by killing all the great soul wielders (the same great soul shards as in DS1, but wielded by different demons) and light the fire again.
but this time, besides lighting the fire or telling the fire to fuck off and ruling over the dark, you have the chance to cure the curse like i said above. but only you're able to do it, so that's why ds3 is a thing. i haven't played ds3 so don't know the rest

oh and a bunch of countries in DS2 are mashed together cause muh convoluted time and space

the end

That's basically it for DS1.

You guys know the Dark Souls one story a lot better than the other 2.

You want DaS2's?
DaS3 is incomplete, and adds a lot of new stuff that's ostensibly DLC bait, because virtually none of it is addressed in any meaningful way. The best you get in DaS3 is closure on a lot of characters/ areas from DaS.

What characters didn't get closure in DaS1? Most the ones I recall finished their story. Usually in death.

It's because 2's story was a unfocused. In dark souls one we knew what we where doing, which was getting the Lordvessel, then getting the Lord Souls, and then linking the fire. And we knew the consequences of doing it, which was extending the current age so shit like the undead curse would go away, supposedly, and if we didn't do it, the "age of dark" would come which was bad, supposedly.

In 2, we find out that linking the fire does essentially nothing good, just prolongs the inevitable, and we want to talk to the king to find a cure for the undead curse. Then we are told by SEEK SEEK LESS that we need strong souls, but not really why. Is it to just open the door the leads to lothric castle? That's lame as fuck, since half the game essentially has you opening a fucking door. Then we get to the throne room and the Queen tells us that the King is in the catacombs. So we go there and the king is an undead. So everything we had been doing up to that point has been pointless, which would be fine I guess, but then the fire keeper tells us to go talk to a dragon without telling us why. Then the dragon tells us to go into giant memories, without telling us why. Then we have to go to a secret throne under the castle and kill the queen who wants to kill us without telling us why. Then we sit on a throne for some reason. Then the game ends.

That's because nothing really happens in-between the two. Most stuff actually happens way before ds1

There isn't one, the game gives you a few things to roleplay with and you make it up as you go.

- fin

What was Shanalotte's motive again? I think she explains it a bit at Dragon Aerie but I didn't quite understand.

>GAME STARTS
Everything before that is backstory. OP asked for story. Literally half of what you wrote is irrelevant.

Bearer of the Curse and Aldia seem pretty based.

I believe she was created by Aldia to lead the cursed undead to light the fire or something like that? That doesn't make much sense though.

gwyn firstborn fucked a dragon, afraid to kill it because of its life hunt powers, they threw it in a painted world

She goes on about Vendrick peering into the essence of the soul, and maybe having some limited success, but she seems to be in the dark about a lot of what was going on.
I figure she was just hoping that someone would eventually gather enough soul power to do something, anything about the problem, and maybe succeed where Vendrick failed.
She does also ask you to become a "true monarch"., which might mean burn yourself for the Flame, or overcome the curse entirely.

Story needs context, you cunt.
>u go and kill the bad guys and then light a fire or don't, da end

Second game protag sounds alpha. Fuck rekindling, I'll go rule a kingdom and then cure myself of the curse.

>>u go and kill the bad guys and then light a fire or don't, da end
Well, that's kind of what the story in the game is. It's vestigial.

Compare that to series like, say, Legacy of Kain, where you witness the larger part of the games' unfolding story yourself, with only smaller bits being told via flavour text, rather than directly shown.

DS1
>once upon a time there was greyness and dragons.
>eventually some lords found a power called "the flame" and used it to kill the dragons and establish themselves.
>Hundreds to thousands of years later the fire starts to fade and the lords freak out.
>they all try different approaches but fail
>DS1 protagonist cleans up remnants and links the fire

DS2
>some dude walks into a portal
>finds out he's supposed to be a monarch
>kills remnants of powerful creatures and people to become worthy
>finds the old king's brother and becomes immortal
>most likely walks away from the throne to find a way to break the cycle of fire.

DS3
>Linking the fire has become tradition
>Fire has gone on unnaturally long and as a result thing's are getting weird
>Enter DS3 protag, in a last ditch effort he gathers up all the last 5.5 lords to use their remains to kindle the flame
>he fails in one way or another

Enter Bloodborne
>things are pretty weird, the fire is gone and people have become beastly

an ancient evil awakens, you are the chosen one who must stop it

You are undead whatever that means and you have to ring two bells in order to become a special snowflake undead. Although, that was probably just a very sarcastic way of telling you to fuck off. Once you ring the bells, a door to the video game level opens, for some reason. You go there and wander around aimlessly for some time until you meet a pair of boobs who tell you to kill the final boss. You do that and the the game ends. 2deep4u

They're fairly closed up in 3, aside from Quelana.

Lordran might exist outside of Lothric because Lothric is the intersection of Kingdoms, or "transitory lands". Anor Londo isn't located in either Kingdom. Yorshka might be Ocelotte renamed by Gwyndolin but who gives a fuck. Priscilla is still alive and rules over the Painted World aaccording to the Corvian Scythe but the entrance is seemingly destroyed.

Concerning the DLCs of DaS 2 I believe that all three kingdoms included in it other than Vendrick existed at the same time period, and since you can access them without the dragon's memory gift the shrines transport you to hearts of those fallen kingdoms.

you help solaire gwyns son kill his father.

There is no story in dark souls
just a bunch of cool item descriptions and cutscenes featuring dragons and fire

The story is: Every protagonist of a Dark Souls game has a special condition where eating fuckloads of souls doesn't turn them into a big guy like all the big nigs you fight along the way.

yeah I have the story for you right here

>you wake up atop a spire of rocks named Archdragon Peak
>the vagrant mooks are fucking faggots with slinky necks that'll chunk you from a mile away because they feel like it
>breathe fire and use the axes from Kratos too (gay)
>you bust in and ring a bell because it's right there
>the Archdragon (he owns the peak) comes down and screams at you and sends you on an Indiana Jones race through ruined buildings
>you run to the edge of the scaffolding and shoot about 230 arrows at him while he screams. he dies and drops a rock
>continue on, dragon priests have their own miniature bells they can ring whenever they like that summons the Demon's Souls protag
>also summons Havel too if you're lucky (kill him by shooting him with arrows)
>pray to Kalameet and get his shitty ring (???)
>now that that's over with you fight more mooks and big crystal lizards without the crystal. Pretty much those cats from DaS 1 but somehow even more fucking annoying
>fight the REAL archdragon, shoot him with arrows, rly easy
>another bell man summons Ricard and you meet him too again, he didn't really die in DaS
>get ambushed by kratos fags (kill them by shooting them with arrows)
>meet Havel again. fucking hack miyazaki pulling out all the nostalgiafag pandering stops
>he drops nothing this time but he was standing next to a legendary titanite slab. ok that's the legend of the titanite slabs
>pray to a mountain and get a dragon stone made out of twinking titanite
>ring the big bell because there's literally nothing else to do and you're so bored
>cloudy with a chance of meatballs
>guy riding the actual Archdragon (he owns the peak, didn't like the bell being rung I guess even though you hear it get rung like fifty fucking times on your way there)
>finally kill archdragon
>Nameless King casts corpse explosion and kills you
>you have to fight the archdragon AGAIN even though you killed him
>I don't know what happens after this because I can't beat it

Good stuff user.

What does it mean to be unkindled anyways? Does that mean Das3's MC is the canon shittiest?

Unkindled are people who were too weak to link the flame in the past who were turned to ash and are now being resurrected out of desperation pretty much

If something DaSIII is the strongest given how powerful SoC is.

The pushover is BotC.

If SoC is the cumulative power of everyone to link the fire, then yeah.
But it seems like they take turns coming iout, if the final phase is any indication. Also, BoTC may not be canonically strongest, but he was the only one so far that really came out of his adventure in a better position than when he went in.

AYE AYE HOL' UP NIGGA

IONO WHAT THE RESTA THESE NERD ASS WHITE NIGGAS IS TELLIN YOU, MAKIN IT ALL COMPLICATED N SHIT

HERES THE REAL STORY

ONCE UPON A TIME DRAGONS RULED THE LAND

AND SHIT WAS DARK, REAL DARK MY NIGGA. LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON BEFORE HE WAS WHITE.

THE DRAGONS WAS LIVIN THE GOOD LIFE. IT WASNT NO GOOD OR BAD, IT JUST WAS. SHIT WAS TYPE WACK MY NIGGA.

NIGGAS LIKE US WAS ON THE BOTTOM, JUST BONY ASS CREATURES WALKIN AROUND FOR NO REASON, WE WASNT EVEN TRYNA FUCK NO BITCHES BRUH

BUT ONE DAY ONE OF US NIGGAS FUCKED UP AND FOUND FIRE AND SHIT, AND THEN WE WAS KINGS MY NIGGA. WE DONE FOUND OPPOSITES AND SHIT

THE FIRE TURNED OUT TO NOT ONLY SERVE AS A CONVENIENT HEATING MECHANISM WHEN YOU FREEZING YOUR DICK OFF, BUT THAT SHIT WAS THE MANIFESTATION OF LIFE ITSELF.

FOUR KINGS ROSE UP FROM THE HOOD--NITO: THE KING OF DEATH, HIS BREATH STANK. SOME WITCH WITH SOME FINE ASS DAUGHTERS WITH BIG TIDDAYS. GWYN, WHO WAS THROWIN LIGHTNING BUT HE LOWKEY RACIST SO FUCK THAT NIGGA AND LASTLY THE FERTILE PIGLET, WHO WAS A REGULAR DEGULAR ASS HUMAN WHO RAN UP AND STOLE SUMMA DAT FIRE LIKE A REAL NIGGA (woulda been me desu)

cont.

OH YEAH THERE WAS ALSO THAT BITCH ASS ALBINO DRAGON WHO FRONTED ON HIS HOMIES CVAUSE HE WAS JEALOUS HE AINT HAD NO SCALES. HE COULDA JUST ROBBED ONE OF THE OTHER DRAGONS FOR SOME SCALES OR MAKE SOME OUTTA CARDBOARD BUT NAH HE CHOSE TO HELP THE FIRE LORDS. HE CAN SPECIFICALLY EAT A BAGA DRAGON DICKS (those some big dicks)
SO WITH THIS POWER AND THE HELP OF THE FUCKBOY DRAGON, THE LORDS WON. BUT ALAS HOE, THEY FOUND OUT THAT THAT FIRE SHIT BURNS OUT AFTER A WHILE. TURNS OUT IF YOU DON’T KEEP A FUCKING CAMPFIRE GOING MADE OUT OF SOULS (AT SOME POINT HUMAN SOULS BECAME FIRE DON’T ASK QUESTIONS) THAT NIGGAS START GETTING SYPHILLIS. ONLY WHEN YOU DIE OF THIS SYPHILLIS YOU GET REBORN AND IF YOU WAS A HOPELESS ASS NIGGA YOU GET REBORN WITH WORSE SYPHILLIS. IF YOU WAS STILL SANE (UNLIKELY) WHEN YOU DIED THEN YOU MIGHT COME BACK LOOKING GOOD ENOUGH 4 DA SNAPCHAT THO.

IN CONCLUSION, NITO WENT TO GO JACK OFF UNDERGROUND, THE WITCH FAILED HER LAB EXPERIMENT AND CREATED DEMONS BUT HER DAUGHTERS ARE STILL FINE (THEY’LL EAT YOU THOUGH), THE HUMAN IS SAID TO BE IN SOME CHAMBER SOMEWHERE WATCHING RERUNS OF SANFORD AND SON AND THE RACIST NIGGA HAD HELLA CHILDREN, ONE LOOK LIKE A BITCH ON BANGBROS. OH AND HE ALSO SACRIFICED HIMSELF AT THE CAMPFIRE TO KEEP THE WORLD FROM RETURNING TO ITS FORMER BULLSHIT BUT THAT FAILED AND YOU GOTTA DO IT. OR JUST FUCK SYPHILLIS HOES. YOUR CHOICE, CUZ THE SHIT DON’T REALLY MATTER DESU PIMP.

That doesn't say much when his other counterparts had to actually overcome Gods and become one.

BotC did shit but at a little scale CU and Ashen one went to save the world pinning down whoever stood up aganist them.

It's all ambiguous as to who actually did what, really, and the only one that challenged any "Gods" was CU.
Technically, BoTC fought watered-down versions of those same forces, but that's neither here nor there. I personally like how the scale of DaS2 was smaller in the end: it makes for a nice contrast with the other games where the odds are mean to be considerably higher.
In any case, the verdict's still out on The Ashen One: we'll just have to wait for the DLC.

>tfw PC can't run 3

Is it funny to see how the canonically weakest who failed on his quest once overcame everything and took the whole thing.

I have a toaster that "runs it" but every 5 minutes is pulling out errors, luckily I bought it for PS4 and is my favorite game even more than Bloodborne.

To be fair, the Chosen Undead fought a sleepy Nito, a hollowed out Gwyn, a hollow Artorias without his main arm, and most likely a cheap illusion of Ornstein.

Pretty gud summary.
Maybe you have something about DS3 too?

1: Gwyndolin, one of the last Lords, wants you to light the flame and give him power again, tricking you with serpents and illusions. You can do it, kill him and still do it, or walk away.

2: Nashandra needs you to open the door to the Throne so she can light the flame, but you kill her after doing so and then light the flame anyway. A different ending was added in a patch that allows you to not do it.

3: Same shit as the first game except instead of doing a Lord's bidding, you are dragging the corpses of people who've been doing this shit for so long that they got fed up and left. You can become lord of the undead if you "marry" some bitch though.

Bloodborne: Uh...the wheelchair guy and the pale girl experimented on some faggots with alien viruses and blood magic and it all went to shit real fast. All this "a hunter is a hunter even in a dream" stuff was a real waste of time.

Demon's Souls: Some gay king wanted to be an eldritch god and failed to become one. There's a fake king pretending to be him. You kill both and either lift the fog from Boletaria, or kill the maiden so that you can _I don't know_.

If you kill the maiden, it's so you can essentially take the power for yourself, as King Allant meant to.

I knew what i was doing on 2. Like moths to a flame, the bearers of the curse feel drawn to the Flame and seek the power.

One day you will stand in front of the gates of Drangleic Castle, without knowing why.

It's your destiny.

Then it's clear that it's because there's a cure, and you "could" get your family back if you weren't certain to go hollow someday.

Bearer of the Curse lost his family and friends as shown in the intro.

>neato is old and withering, just having a nap pretty much

made me really laugh for some reason

Das1 guy is a cuck who got played into linking the flame or turning off the flame but doesnt matter because hes getting fiddled

Das2 guy is pretty alpha and escapedthe cycle and is now chilling around the timelines with a smug blob sidekick thing on his shoulder

Das3 guy is a cool dude too, can either chill at the bonfire forever in a tiny, comfy fire or become the Dark Lord and take the Sun away

Wow, that's a blast from the past.

If you kill the Maiden you become an Old One.

These guys were cool as hell.

He also fought Seath and the Four Kings whos connection with the Dark shouldve made them pretty powerful.

BotC has the crown though, which is easily one of the most powerful objects in all Dark Souls games. Basically makes him immortal

What serves him to being immortal if he can't leave the throne while CU and Ashen are going to be OP as fuck whenever they are.

Where do you find queelag remains on DaSIII? I have seen some images but I cant find it.

In the room with the smaller rats in the Demon Ruins, there's an illusory wall.

I think Shanalotte was basically insurance. If Aldia didn't manage to find a cure for undeath in time, she would eventually lead someone else to light the fire and give him more time. Of course, he just told her that she would be making someone into the new king, not that the throne was a fucking furnace.

4 nobodies lit a fire and fucked up everything.

Only losers give a fuck about story in video games

we can
>1 - link The Fire
>maybe that's the best idea: The Sun's looking kind of sick, and next time's only going to be harder for whatever poor guy's unlucky enough to have it foisted on him
>2 - force the Firekeeper to snuff out the fire and make her watch
>might be for the best: she cryptically implies that it won't last forever
>3 - Usurp the flame and become the biggest Edgelord
>bonus: unlimited access to hollow cooch and a nominal position as ruler of a bunch of brooding nothin personnels
>4 - buy the DLC for the real ending
>okay
- fin

Makes sense.

What did we play as artorias whole game ?

No, Artorias just failed hard and we kept his name clean by doing his job for him after killing him before he could go on an Abyss-fueled rampage.

He only failed because he was trying to protect his doggy

Well, he didn't do a very good job of it, because we killed his doggy, too.

>fighting Sif post-DLC

As if him fucking limping didn't make it bad enough, but they had to make shit worse.

They sure know how to make you feel like shit, anyway.

do DeS and BB

Ignore these other memers making big posts
Dark Souls story is this:
Time is convoluted
