Regarding the timeline of 2 and 3, I agree that Death starts his quest before Fury, but I'd argue that it does take him 99+ years to finish his quest, or at least way past Fury's quest. Death is only briefly on earth on his quest, the rest of the time he's in different realms/worlds, who said time passes the same there as on earth? We see Archon looking at The Destroyer (a scene from Darksiders 1 ending), and then when Death sacrifices himself (after going to another realm and time travels there, then goes on to fight Absalom), the cutscenes do indicate/suggest that it happened simultaneously as the first game. I think for Death, Fury and War it takes as long as it takes us the player to finish the game, but time on earth and other realms are different.

Why would someone dilsike this? The lore alone takes much effort and dedication. I raise my middle finger to those who disliked this!

at last thank you true masters and morons for finally putting the darksiders franchise's story into an organized timeline you have done a wonderful service for not only myself and the darksiders fanbase but also for the potenitally endless number of new fans that might become inspired to check out the series for themselves thanks to this video

2:58 his arm's prosthetic? i thought it was simply a gaunlet or something

Fury ended her story first. After all strife had his guns at the end of the game and death has strife gun soo...

"Death had already peaced out" XD I love it! He heard the news about War, went "Bullsh**. Imma fix this," then up and left without telling anyone anything. (though it does seem a little weird that it took ten years. Is Death just so out of touch with Creation at large that it took that long to get the news?) I would argue that the novel takes place before War loses his arm because when Death comes back after the 500 years, that's the first time anyone has seen him with Dust. So he gave the amulet to the Crowfather during that time, and it makes the most sense to me that Death would have done that immediately (or at least soon) after Eden. (also what Javier Zaragoza said about Chaoseater) I concur about the pacing of games 2 & 3. Fury's especially definitely doesn't take 90 years; those humans are way too young for that. Plus the Dark Tower is still under construction, and I would expect it to be finished well before the events of the first game. Great video, guys!

Just what I needed after finishing Darksiders 3 (Praise Steamsale!)... makes me itching to play Darksiders 4 since Strife seems to be a really honorable/badass dude.

One funny thing about Darksiders 3, Fury couldnt kill a single one of the seven deadly sins without the power ups she got from the lord of hollows, envy at the start was obviously a fake, and she almost died fighting wrath. Its kinda funny how Fury at the start of Darksiders 3 was so high on her own ego she claimed she could "take those fools on her sleep" when she couldnt take a single one of them on a real fight

Thanks for sharing and I was wonder how everything was put together. It really helps a lot of my question being answered also. Keep doing what doing. Thanks again

I absolutely love Lore and you guys deliver in high quantities!!!!

Discord should be the name of strife's steed.

Haven’t been here in a while! Good to see you guys still going at it! Would still love to see an explanation on the 3 horsemen modes that they have! Death=Reaper, War=Chaos And ect. I know we don’t have strife yet but it’d still be awesome on those 3 for now

cant wait till this gets updated with genesis

Thorough and awesome! Thank you!

I always found it funny how at the end of DS2 the Crowfather told how War broke the Seventh Seal in a way that seemed Death's Sacrifice happened shortly before the end of DS1. Because Death revived mankind just for the Apocalypse to really start now while they're still not ready lol.

I’m so happy all of that made sense to me.

Took me probably 3 times to watch and finally get how all games connect accordingly. Hopefully we get the 4th where we get to see what was Strife doing on Earth and the 5th would most likely be all 4 and playing by switching between them

Thank you for clearing this up.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! You made the video !! And my name appears on the request

"Isac was curious" was awesome lmao

I think he has his regular arm during the Abomination Vault. I'm rereading it and there's a part where War wonders how Death would fair against Chaoseater being stabbed through his chest

Love the DARKSIDERS series 🖤 Masterpiece 🖤

I personally think the ending of DS2 is like this: Death revives the souls, crowfather is the storyteller, all the loading screens after u quit the game are said from the future as a story of the past. Thus i believe crowfather is refering to war after the rest of the time needed for the 7th seal to break. It will be anticlimatic to just say: But death's journey didn;t end, it took 100 more years and a lot of fighting on his brothers side but he eventually revives.

I think Darksiders 3 takes place BEFORE Darksiders 2. It would explain why Strife has both of his pistols in Darksiders 3 but Death got one of them in the beginning of Darksiders 2. Maybe something happened to Strife after the end of Darksiders 3 and that's why his brothers each got one of his pistols. Also, at the end of Darksiders 3 we see The Destroyer starting to lay waste of what's left of humanity (a task we see completed in Darksiders 1) and during Darksiders 2 when Death goes briefly to Earth, he sees it already in ruins and very few humans are left alive (well, we only see the hunter and for all we know, he could be the only one left alive... until the end of the DLC that is). I think it is possible that Darksiders 1 and Darksiders 2 end more or less at the same time, or at the very least Darksiders 1 ends shortly after Darksiders 2. That's how it seems when the Crowfather narrates it anyway - Death sacrifices himself and the souls of the Nephilim embedded in his chest to ressurect all of humanity, then shortly after Uriel destroys the Seventh Seal (the Crowfather says it was War, but it was actually Uriel), ressurecting both War and Death and summoning them to Earth, along with Fury and Strife.

Keep up your videos dudes

This is awesome

Thank you

Great Video! I love being able to see especially the books in order, and the placement of lilith etc I'm pretty sure that in Darksiders 2 they claim that humanity has fallen already, but in Darksiders 3 there are still clearly numerous humans alive in hiding. Because of this I'm pretty sure that Darksiders 2 takes place after Darksiders 3. I can imagine that it took Death a while before the opening scene of Darksiders 2 to get to the crowfather. So Probably Death Leaves -> Darksiders 2 Happens -> Last of men are slain or leave to where fury is -> Darksiders 2 happens Not to mention that The Destroyer had already shown himself during Darksiders 2, whereas he only came to be the Destroyer during the events of Darksider 3

Seeing out the whole timeline just reminds me of how f-cking cool these games are!

Can u do that Kratos vs horsemen I requested yesterday plz

So... Death's journey occurs just before War's on Earth, but at the same time as Fury's, but then the big D dies sacrificing himself and the Nephlem's souls to resurrect humanity, and is brought back by the end of War's story? Huh. They love interweaving the Horsemen's journeys in a damn near convoluted way, don't they?

I kinda feel like it was 3,1,2. Furys quest initiated right as war was killed by straga initially and finished before War officially met Ulthane. #2 took place partially during Wars quest but ended very long afterwards given the state of the earth. I sumise based on the ending death jumped into the well of souls just before War broke the seal and officially began the apocalypse. With strife on "other business" he probably was set to investigate Lucifer and his high ranking demons since we know abbadon instigated alot of crap and strife was sent in too secret to ensure there would be no further advantage taken by the demons and Liliths trickery

Im gonna say that maybe time passes differently in the realm of the dead and the forgelands which is why it seems that 90 years have passed between 2 and 1. Thoughts?

Ok so there’s a few things that show that while some parts may happen at the same time..most of Darksiders 2 happens AFTER Darksiders 3. 1) the tower of Straga. In Darksiders 3 the tower is in the midst of being built and is very bare bones and half done. In Darksiders 2 , during the earth mission to get the rod, as you fight your way along the last zone where the bridge is, you can see the tower of Straga in the distance. Not totally complete but further along than in Darksiders 3. 2) the intro. In the Darksiders 2 intro... it states that during deaths journey, the destroyer and the chosen are more or less already somewhat established. In Darksiders 3, the destroyer hasn’t fully revealed himself as the general behind it all until he attacks the sanctuary of Ulthane. 3) the Darksiders 2 DLC. In the DLC death finds the last human on earth and eventually slays him upon request. So all other humans have gone with fury by that point in the game. 4). The Darksiders 3 epilogue. Lilith is told by lucifer that corruption will take care of everything and that corruption/absalon hadn’t really made a major move yet. This makes me think that there could be a time lapse when death is pulled through the gate at the beginning that the crow father opened upon his death. Death was sent far to the edge of the dying universe and that could have taken decades via time warp and space physics/worm hole effect. Once he’s on the old ones world it seems corruption is in full swing. 4 ) the seeing pool of the archon. This one is unfortunately not very reliable as the seeing pool that corrupted the archon seems to have the ability to see through time. The first time death meets the archon , he is viewing pre fallen abbadon. ( the clip is from when he convinces azrael to break the seals) when next we see him peering into the pool we see post fallen abbadon (the clip is from when he’s talking to war with passed out Uriel in his claws). Now whether he is seeing those events or whether it was just a way for the studio to save money by reusing old clips that were meant to be brand new scenes... is unclear. Obviously the prefallen scene is before the game so definitely isn’t happening at the same time death walks in on the archon and the scene with the destroyer is the end of the Darksiders 1 game , and death still has a 1/4 game left at that point. 5) strifes guns. Death gets a gun from the makers that might be a copy but also might not be a copy. It might be strifes. We know that strife was with ulthane in D3. Ulthane gives war the other gun (or replica) but it may actually be his other gun and we know Ulthane was with death. But even if strife and Ulthane had met on the makers home world before Ulthane traveled to earth ( they could have traveled together) that doesn’t make sense cus strife still had his guns. My thought is that strife leaves a gun with Ulthane and Ulthane makes a portal to the makers home world for strife to escape the destroyers army. He then leaves his second gun on the makers home world after D3 ends and takes off before death arrives. 6) Darksiders 3 dlc. The serpent holes are needed for vulgrim to travel to the makers world to offer wares to death in D2. And he can’t until fury clears it out. So... essentially... the only thing that makes sense timeline wise is : Darksiders 3 prologue, Darksiders 1 prologue, war imprisoned, death goes on a journey and searches for answers and takes years tracking down the crow father ( traveling the universe without permission or help may take time) , Darksiders 3 happens, during which death find the crow father defeats him, gets knocked out and sent through a portal that causes a time lapse, Darksiders 3 ends, death wakes up on the makers world, the rest of the events of Darksiders 2 happen, death dies in the well of souls and either stays dead for many years or the time in the tree of life also has different rules, the rest Darksiders 1 happens, seals break. 4 horsemen resurrect and reunite at full power. The end

I have a question were dose genesis fit because people said it's a prequel to the three-game series but some things in the game can you make it sound like it's not a prequel because somehow in Genesis War already knows how to use that Boomerang Blade and he acts as if he knew what it was and how it worked as well as he done right talk is if he's used it before also if this was before War went to Earth early and started the Apocalypse then how come in Genesis death and fury were already sent out on their own thing because of War has not been accused of starting the apocalypse yet why would Death already be out trying to look for a way to solve his crime so I'm curious

I've got one question, what is your nickname on Darksiders/GunfireGames discord? cuz those information you presented were definetely spoken there and not all of them were said out of discord

Next time, Do The Lord of Hollow

Can't wait for a darksiders 4 were you can play as strife

With regard to the end of DS2, we dont know how long Death stayed dead, or how long it took for humanity to re-appear fully. The narrator says the ‘seeds of humanity were re-sown’ so it could be decades if not centuries before humanity returns properly or at least to the level they were at the beginning of DS 1. so Death’s journey may not have taken 90+ years.

E3 is releasing a new Darksiders game and I can't wait

The new darksiders game reference war losing his arm

I will say that Ds2 starts a bit before Ds3, but Ds2 finishes a bit later than Ds3 just from the simple fact that during Ds3, the Destroyers tower is in the middle of construction whereas during Ds2, when you visit Earth, the tower is completed.

For 2 I always did theorise that some time did pass after death become unconscious and got teleported into the makers world and/or after he was pulled into the tree and woke up in the realm of the dead Plus when both death and the nephalim essentially died to bring back humanity, the remaining years would’ve flown by instsntly. Due to the seals reviving all the horsemen that could’ve/would’ve died I don’t really have any prove with most of these though, I don’t know how most ways of teleportation works in that universe and just based it off of death not really keeping track of down every time he’s knocked out, he doesn’t necessarily have to fairly,

By the time Fury returns to the council and defeats Envy, and tosses the talisman at the Council, is War still in chains?

I think that Gunfire planed Darksiders 4 among with 3. And it will take place between 3 and 2. At least is what the other two makers in Haven makes me think. My theory: They'll probably have an adventure with Strife and Ulthane. And then, Strife will give his pistols: Mercy to Ulthane and Redemption to the bearded maker (could he be Valus? Alya's brother).

Could update this with Darksiders: Genesis?

Death lives after being stabbed by chaoseater

what was that weapon of mass destruction i want to know

finally i understood

can you explain the ending of darksiders 3, and how the watcher was able to do and become what she is

Had to stop at 14:30 to avoid Furious spoilers.

Darksider 3 is Free on PS+, I'm just here to remind back to tge story

Could you guys do lore of Killer Instinct? Historical events need to be known.

Darksiders lore \o/

Great video, but something bugs me. Not just that you guys didn't think about it, but that I didn't see any comments giving the same idea. What makes you think all the realms have the same time flow? Is it possible that one day in one realm could be a year in another? That could help with Death's journey taking the 100 years that War was imprisoned. If there's something that says "Time in all realms is the same" then I apologize. I'm an outside observer to the Darksiders universe.

no people think they line up because of the archon's scrying pool visions

now how will darksiders genesis fit into this

Behold the 4th steed mayhem... wait wait mayhem and strife... rampage and fury... death and despair... war and ruin really how did we not figure this out years ago 🤣

I have big question how War and Death have Strife guns?

what bothers me is that if its happening at he same time how is death reviving humanity if fury is already saving them?

This vid needs updating.

mayhem for strife

Even after genesis I hope strife gets his own game just to see if the council tried to kill him to

I'm kinda confused, I get that Darksiders 2 and 3 were roughly at the same time but won't the Ending of Darksiders 2 come after 3 since in both games most of humanity was gone but Death revied humanity at the end of Darksiders 2 right? Can anyone explain it to me, please?

Death is the strongest and I wished we got a flash back in the game that shows that lol but awesome video

How come war didn’t keep that sword that broke the seal

Now input Darksiders Genesis!!!!! Please please please!!!

Spoilers!!!!! I actually love how Genesis takes place just after the four have slain their kin at Eden. The references too, eastereggs... the studio paid close attention to the lore material. Case in point, you fight Belial in Genesis but he isn’t killed so that he can go on to face Death in Darksiders 2’s DLC campaign. It also takes place just before the seven seals are constructed and the treaty is finalized. War and Death had just committed the genocide - a reference to the Book of Genesis - due to Lucifer’s corruption.

I still do not get , how could War knew that the angel will break the seal from the watcher's hand? Why did she attacked the watcher ?

I think 3 starts before 2

please make a lore video on the valkyrur from valkyria chronicles

did you guys hear the ds4 news for e3

Spoilers: The seven seals are explained at the end of genesis that: 3 = heaven 3 = hell 1 = Charred council How did abadon get the hell seals?

In darksiders 1, Samael is there, but in darksiders 2, death kills samael... doesn't he?

darksidres an god of war could change the game

Why are you not making darksiders videos guys make a War video ok

Played 1, then 2 got so fucking lost. So 1 comes after 2-3? Unlike DMC no time line

One thing that you guys didn't notice that also suggests when Death's Door takes place, is Abaddon's appearance. He lost his eye during the Abomination Vault novel, and Death's Door features him with that eyepatch. So Death's Door would've come after The Abomination Vault timeline wise. As for when War loses his arm, Death's Door shows us an interesting small panel when Abaddon inquires if Death would use proving his strength in combat as a reason to kill his 'demon'. Death simply remarks that he's confusing him for War and has a flashback to when War seemingly doesn't have that new arm. Now the flashback for when they got their mounts does confuse things a bit I will admit. Either the arm being there is accidental, or they just drew a gauntlet that could be mistaken for that arm. I'll have to go back and check it out real quick.

Hopefully rampage gets resurrected as well

Darksiders genesis please? It’s another prequel.

This is confusing as fuck. Like, really, really confusing.

At the end of Darksiders 2 it is said there must always be four horsemen. To me that means that the Horsemen can be killed but that once the seventh seal is broken as it did at the end of Dareksiders that all the Horsemen will be summoned even from death.

ts all messed up

Thanks for the video guys Its very complex storyline with alot of plotholes and weak creative writing The devs didnt think that darksiders would be so popular so they didnt focus on the storyline entirely plus the fact that thq went dead in 2012 gave it an extra reason for not having a strong writing in the first place Let me explain: In the begining of ds3 we see war in chains and warning fury from the conspiracy came upon them right? Then Why he didnt mention her after 100 yrs imprisonment or tried to find her? Sooo much plotholes and confusing events They need to work this out Either in a book or a solid game They need a good writing team to solve this if they wanna continue this saga

It's kind of messed up because the Four Horseman commit Genocide on there on race instead of trying to balance it out.

They should make a 5th game (on the ps5 so we get the graphics that the 5th game would deserve) that features the end war. Hell is still on earth, just the destroyer is dead, and heaven still has warriors and the obvious reason is the other 3 horsemen (horsepeople..?) arrive at the end of the 1st game. Samael is still kicking it somewhere aswell What the actual aim of the horsemen (horsepeople) during the end war is still confusing mystery to me though...they work for the balance but during the end war, theres no need for balance so i dont know what their role would be..maybe they work for the 3rd kingdom? Or just take a side all of their own Edit: plus the fact War broke the 7th seal to summon the rest so the end war would actually start
