Dark Souls ENTIRE Storyline in 3 Minutes! (Dark Souls Animation) 

Lothric didn't fail to rekindle the first flame, he was influenced by the scholars of the grand archives and refused to rekindle it.

So this game is basically an exaggerated story of a man trying to keep his bonfire lit.

Dark Souls 2 in 4 words: Bear, Seek, Seek, Lest.

This was pretty good for three minutes.

just a small correction: lothric refuses to rekindle the flame not fail to do it

Drink everytime he says "first flame"

Summary: Strong dudes burn themselves to keep humanity from being taking over Earth

Wait, your constant respawning is actually story related and not just video game logic??

This vid was pretty Nito.

That was definately not the ENTIRE storyline

"Lothric..." *Lorian apears* wut?

Did they show Lorian instead of Lothric?

That scene when Vendrict throws a rock at the Giants ... and then they throw a much bigger rock back was not only hilarious, but the perfect metaphor for Dark Souls 2. You messed with a race that is 5x bigger than man, what did you think was going to happen?

Actually, the canon ending of Dark Souls 3 is to let the Flame fade as stated by the guidebook. Rekindling the Flame shows that the flame is clearly dying and all that is left are embers. Usurping the Flame is even worse and you are creating the age of Hollows for your own personal gain. And don't get me started on the whole "Kill the Fire Keeper" ending that doesn't even reward you for your horrible deed. However, letting the Flame fade not only ends the nightmare of the Dark Souls, but also shows that the Chosen Undead and the Fire Keeper have a future beyond the Age of Fire and set into motion the Age of Man. Fire will come again, but in a new and different form. This most likely connects to Bloodborne given how Aldrich saw an "Age of Ocean" beyond the Age of Fire.

Dark Souls in 2 words: "Yes, indeed."

This is what happens when you cant afford match sticks

Dark Souls gameplay in 2 words: You Died

i don't blame them. the darksouls story is incredibly complex.

Have they tried to use wood to keep the fire going? I mean, meat and bone don't burn very well

Dark Souls is about keeping a campfire lit.

3:00 uhh that's Lorian, not Lothric

'Patches, you Bitch' I love it lol

uses lorian and says lothric

Why are you rushing the entire story is, Y O U F U C K I N G D I E D

I was not expecting you to be able to provide as much information as you did about Dark Souls in 3 minutes, great writing and editing, I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into your content. Very High quality video, subscribed!

I have one complaint about the video. You can't kill a hollow "if their sanity leaves them completely." That is a major point of the plot in DS1 and a minor point in DS2. Hollows keep piling up and there is literally no getting rid of them. That is why the undead asylum and the lost bastille exist. They temporarily alleviate the problem by having somewhere to stick the hollows until someone rekindles the first flame and they can die. Some undead, but not all however, do sometimes reach a point at which they are so hollow and give so little of a fuck that they just stop moving. They may as well be dead, but technically are still living.

2:28 This scene is just so perfect

the furtive pygmy isn't manus, manus is one of the first humans created by the pygmy so he has a bigger chunk of the dark soul within him that's why he's called a primeval human he one of the first so when he was angered beyond reason the darkness within him erupted transforming him into a beast.

That wasn't even Lothric that was his brother Lorian

2:55 You said Lothric, and showed Lorian. Wut ?:D Good video tho.

Out of all the 3 minute vids I think they got this one spot on with the narrative pace & them animations omfg I'm in tears 🤣

I played Dark Souls 1-3 for more than 400 hours. But your 3-minute video explained so much more lore than all my playtime xD

Actually according to the guide in dark souls 3 the true ending is that you let the flame die and for dark souls 2 you don't sit at the throne at the end as you leave to search for a new way to stop the undead curse and you do by gaining the 3 crowns aka dlc however it only stops the curse for you no one else

Dark souls 3 was explained in 12 seconds.

So long story short its a never ending cycle of light and dark

Everyone else complaining about lore inaccuracy whereas i'm more annoyed by how you keep saying furAtive instead of Furtive Pygmy

Well, there are actually two theories about the origin of the Curse: the artificial extension of the Age of Fire, or the fading of the flame and the advent of the Age of Dark. Everyone can choose what they believe in.

you made it sound like rekindling the flame is necessarily a good thing, it's really not since it brings the undead curse and kills humans.

Dark Souls franchise - story - in 3 minutes? You got my respect again 🙏

0:35 I think it is also very likely, that Gwyn, Nito and the Witch were just hollows like all the others and that the Lord Soul is what made them different. 1:44 It is very likely, that the rekindling didn't cause the Curse of the Undead. It is implied that the hollowing already started before Gwyn sacrificed himself. Hollowing simply comes together with the fading of the First Flame - fading of the Life Force.

lol they accepted my challange i am pleased ty arcade cloud for being awesome as fuck

The title says enitre instead of entire

It's really cool to think that every kingdom in the souls series (Lordran, Drangleic, Lothric) has been built around the Kiln of the First Flame that we see in Dark Souls 1. And its always been related to the Firelink Shrine in some way. Dark Souls 2 was bit weird though because it used Majula instead of Firelink, and the Kiln is actually underneath Drangleic Castle, but it still makes sense. The kiln is always locked away and protected in some fashion. The thing I don't understand, though, is the fact that the guardians of the flame want to kill you. It made sense in DS2 because Nashandra wanted to inherit it herself, but as far as Gwyn from DS1 and Soul of Cinder are concerned, you are assumed to be just another successor with the same goal as them. Wouldn't they want a fresh soul to relink the fire and continue their legacy? Maybe they feel that the chosen undead/unkindled one need to prove the strength of their soul so that they don't give up the flame to someone who can't sustain it?

Goddamnit I want to play dark souls now

Dark souls is easy, I went through the entire video without dying once.

Did anyone else notice they spelled entire wrong

You have to include The Ringed City, the cycle has over.

I needed this. thx!

Meanwhile I'm still stuck on the second level of dark souls 1

(I might be wrong here) There are other lore speculations that say that Lothric is completely able to light the first flame, he decided not to, as the repetitive linking of the first flame continues the cycle of man going into a pseudo depression state where many of them turn into hollows, and he decides to not link it and to try to prevent any further person from linking it. The main counter argument that comes to me immediately is that it wouldn't make sense them if he was a lord if cinder if he never actually linked the first flame.

Amazing work!

It's a pretty good summary, well done .

Much better than Game theory's attempt.

The dark souls story makes me wander how many beings in it are virtually immortal as undead and weather anything is accomplished by trying to kill them. The unkindled was specifically stated to have "not survived" the rekindling process, and he comes around anyway and kills a bunch of bosses. These bosses who didn't survive the player killing them seem like they could just come back too as undead.

Very nice work ;)

Wow... honestly thought it would be impossible to sum it up thatquickly but you guys did it.

HAHAHHA, the "choosen undead"(players) are so cute..

but, the canon ending was the flame was not lit

Love the animations

This storyline has been smashed to bits with your explanation

I still don't understand

Do Bully Scholarship Edition in 3 Minutes

so fast 3 min xD Thanks !!!

Great animation and all the major plot points were there 😃

I will explain the whole dark souls in one sentence: *YOU DIED* over and over

if in the first game you choose to NOT kindle the first flame, wouldn't that fuck up this whole storyline

This video is so awesome

Id love to see this game either get a book or a movie because it is so good.

This video barley scratches dark souls lore.

look up PlagueofGripes on youtube if you want another better video on the first games' story

Man , this was actually really usefull , even if it naturally can't cover everything ofcourse , but was usefull ^^

There's another theory on who the furtive pigmy was. And it's Velka, the goddess of sin.
