Dark Souls 2 player characters experience the same destiny, taking their throne within the Kiln of the First Flame to extend the Age of Fire.

Dark Souls 1's ending sees the player relight the First Flame in a raging inferno that spans the whole room. What's canon in Dark Souls is often debatable, given the choices players can make at the end of each game, but the continuation of the series assumes the Linking of the Flame in Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2's endings is canon. The Dark Souls series often references its past games, with familiar locations, twisted lore, and hidden storylines spanning the entire series. In Dark Souls 3, players are even treated to a hidden cameo of their own characters from the previous two games, but they come in an unexpected form.
