Dark Souls Lore is convoluted and dense, but we think the Timeline is the key to understanding everything else. This is the most complete, fact-based timeline we could muster, and it should give you a number of surprises in the Lore of Dark Souls, just like it did for us while researching.
You will need to concentrate on this one I’m afraid! We know this is a long video but give it a chance, you might find some answers to old questions.
