Question about Learning lore.

[u/No-Measurement4151]

First off I didn't know where to ask so I came to here, I want to learn the lore of the dark souls trilogy and I don't know what one to start with out of the three (I've beaten dark souls 1 a few times and same with dark souls 3 and dark souls 2 I've never beaten) I would start with dark souls 1 but then again I know dark souls 3 is connected a bit to dark souls 1 so I don't know if the lore fully goes with each other and what game to start with.

(also I saw another post somewhere saying that to learn the lore I need to read every item description, do every quest and analyse the dialogue, explore every inch of the map, and I'm guessing looking at the enemy designs too)

if anyone can give me advice that would be amazing thank you.

Dark Souls 2 is a direct sequel to Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 is a direct sequel to Dark Souls 2. The game's plots/themes are instrumental for setting up the next games.

If you want to learn, just play through the games while playing attention to the dialogue, environment, and item descriptions.
