Dark Souls Trilogy - Archive of the Fire is a compendium that offers a comprehensive record of the locations and characters in the Dark Souls series. The book is divided into three distinct sections, each offering valuable insights into this beloved trilogy.
The largest section, 'Locations,' spans an impressive 173 pages. Here, you'll find an array of screenshots showcasing the captivating landscapes from the games, alongside concise profiles of the formidable bosses and captivating cutscene screencaps.
In 'The Living & The Undead,' an 87-page chapter, you'll discover a wealth of information about the non-playable characters (NPCs) in the Dark Souls games. These profiles are accompanied by detailed inventories and, crucially, extensive records of their dialogues. What sets this book apart is the inclusion of dialogues in both Japanese and English, facilitating easy comparisons for those interested in delving deeper into the lore.
The 'Drifters' section, spanning 47 pages, offers a delightful assortment of extras. This includes six pages of rarely seen concept art from the 'Artorias of the Abyss' DLC, 16 pages of enemy screenshots, and six pages showcasing the intriguing camouflage objects used in conjunction with the Chameleon spell. Additionally, a one-page reference guide, a 12-page section featuring thoughts and theories on the game's lore and story, and a 7-page glossary explaining key terms and characters enhance the overall value of the book.
Despite its intriguing content, it's important to note that 'Dark Souls Trilogy - Archive of the Fire' is primarily a visual reference. It leans heavily on screenshots from the games, and while it contains a mere six pages of concept art, it may not fully satisfy those expecting an extensive 'artbook.'
