The complete DS timeline?

[DuelShockX]

I'm curious as to what the complete true DS timeline is and I'm trying to get all DS communities to get in on this so feel free to list all of your thoughts and connections between the games trying to figure out the timeline (DLC included)

[Facu]

Ds1 -> Ds2 -> Ds3.....OH MY GAD THAT WAS SUPER HARD

[Forest]

OOOOHHHHH ho ho ho ho buddy Imma stopping you here.

Ds1>Ds2>Ds3 that how it goes and that is the time line but as for the story of each one and what happens yea trying to explain that is way harder than tying to explain rocket science to a bimbo ♥♥♥♥♥.

Okay it goes like this

There was this dude named Gwyn and he was all "Rawr dragons suck rawr! I like lightning! Sunlight for life!'
But the dragons hated Gwyn and his hip new car.

See Gwyn's car was a 87 Mustang or something like that but it had these sick lightning bolts along the sides so the dragons were all "Yo man that's fly!" and Gwyn was like "Nah man, you ain't touching this girl! Zap zap yo! Zap zap!" and those dragons got LIT UP!

Now Smough saw this and got hecka jelly yo. But Smough was too fat to really move so they had his fitness trainer Ornstein try and get the dude to work out, you know, become ripped? But in actually, Smough was a Synth sent in by the Institute to unlock the Vault underneath Anor Londor and rescue the Lone Unkindled.

Now Solaire saw this and thought "Nah, that ain't happening." and blew up the Vault by unfriending it on facebook.

With the vault destroyed, Smough was like, SUPER mad now and fought off like, fifty silver knights.
This whole time, Solaire's younger cousin's brother third uncle twice removed, Havel was actually, to no one's surprise. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. However, Havel couldn't help cause he was making Furious 7 or something.

So then Gwyn, Solaire, The Lone Unkindled, and the cast of Fuller House hopped onto a future car, and took that to Lothric Castle where the Prince was.

They slapped him in the face, all at once, and he died.

Then, the Lone Unkindled held up a bonfire, the entire bonfire and said

"You Defeated"

And everyone celebrated and then they became undead and that is where Mecha-Hulk Logan came in with his Big Top and suplexed, get this, every sunbro summon sign from March 2016 to July 2016, in one go! And he got the Highest High Score

And that, is why you bow before a duel.

DS1: AotA DLC
Oolacile awakens Manus
Artorias gets sent to fight Manus, falls to the Abyss
C**sen Und*** kills Manus and Artorias thanks to time travel shenanigans

DS1:
First instance of Undead Curse
C**sen Und*** gets released from the Asylum and goes on quest to link the fire

Sometime after DS1:
Manus reforms as Nashandra, Alsanna, Nadalia, and Elana
Each shard forms a kingdom
Nashandra convinces Vendrick to invade "the Land of Giants" (Lordran) across the ocean
Vendrick succeeds and steals something that allows him to build soul-powered golems
The Giant Lord leads a counter-invasion but gets defeated by Cursed One thanks to time travel shenanigans (Memory of Orro)

DS2:
Second instance of Undead Curse
Cursed One travels to Drangleic and goes on quest to find the king
Cursed One does not link the fire (since Drangleic doesn't have a Kiln), but someone in Lordran does since the cycle continues

Sometime after DS2:
At least 4 more instances of the Undead Curse pass (Abyss Watchers' cycle, Aldrich's cycle, Yhorm's cycle, Ludleth's cycle)

DS3:
Currently on the 6th instance of Undead Curse
Lothric is designated to link the fire this time, but rebels
Bells of Awakening call Unkindled to take the remaining Lords' power and burn in their place

That's the main stuff. There are also some more cross-game connections, like the whole thing with Nito, Sinh, Lindelt, and the Drakeblood Knights, as well as Nameless King's story with Forossa, but you can probably fit those in yourself.

Here's what I got from Reverend Belial from DS2 scholar of the first sin : Well I know that DS3 takes place after DS1, but as far as I know nobody's certain where 2 takes place.

Edit: Removed the bit about 2 possibly being on an alternate timeline. I looked some things up, and it's definitely part of the continuity.

Further addendum: It looks like DS2 takes place several hundred years after DS3, which probably takes place almost immediately after DS1 (since there are still DS1 characters around when the new kingdom thing or whatever rolls into Lordran and takes over). OR 2 and 3 take place at around the same time because Lordran and Drangleic are in two totally different parts of the world. That depends on whether or not Lordran and the place from the Crown of the Ivory King are the same place or not.

I'd put something about the rise and fall of Wolnir sometime before or after DS2, and the war against the demons sometime either before DS2 or after DS2.

Nah, Miyazaki confirmed it to take place after DS2, there's evidance of this, reading the Lucatiel Mask.

Mask attached to a ceremonial hat.

A Hollow once fought valiantly with this mask, but feared the fading of her self, and implored a comrade remember her name.

Perhaps that is why this gentleman's mask is named after a woman.

Past tense written all over it. She died before the events of DS3.

Actually it's more like Artorias became a puppet


-Events of DS1 (the chosen undead links the fire).
Not sure, but i'm pretty ceirtan that it's not known his choice, as it doesn't matter


-Events of DS2 (the bearer of the curse become the dark lord)
He doesn't really become the dark lord. He's like Vendrick, who didn't link the fire without embracing darkness. Lore videos can explain it better


-The war against the demons of Izalith
Actually, the war against the demons was before the events of DS, as it is conducted by the knights of Gwin


- and the Knight of Lothric
Actually Lothric probably didn't exist yet


-The four lords of cinder wake up
with the task of linking the fire again, Yhorm succumbs to the corruption of the profaned flame,
Actually i believe Yhorm Simply didn't want to link the flame, because he thought it was useless because After his First linking everyone died. Maybe he later descended in madness but it could've been simply because he saw the death in his Capital



Pontiff Sulyvahn locks Aldrich in Anor Londo, where Gwyndolin is murdered by him.

Actually Aldrich wasnt locked, he went there for the sole purposes of eating the gods

There was two demon wars.

Lothric went to war with them, resulting in Lorian killing the Demon Prince.

Oh yeah that. But that's probably After DS2 as Lothric is probably After the DS2 events...

It's suggested DS2 and 3 aren't far apart, since you find pictures of Nashandra like she's a friend to the royal family.
