It is revealed in Ending D that there are tons of androids exactly like Accord. We’re not entirely sure what her motives are, but it’s clear that Accord is tasked with monitoring the timelines of the Drakengard universe and recording events. She’s a mysterious girl who is later revealed to be an android. After unlocking the first couple of endings, we’re introduced to a character named Accord. There is one other important note about Drakengard 3. However, Drakengard 3 has a couple of other endings that could potentially tie into Drakengard’s story as well, and we’ll go over those later. Ending A is largely considered the canon ending to Drakengard 3, as it seems to lead into the events of Drakengard nicely. After Zero and Mikhail are dead, Brother goes on to establish control over the city, and forms the Cult of the Watchers. Brother is actually a clone of One, whom One created herself as a fail-safe in case anything happened to her.
In Ending A, Zero kills One, but immediately after, she’s killed by Brother. This is where things start to get a little confusing. Michael was reborn as Mikhail, and he and Zero went into hiding to recover.Ī year later, Zero resumes her killing spree and she manages to take down her sisters one by one.
In the world of Drakengard, dragons have the power to reincarnate. When Zero launched her first assassination mission against all five Intoners, they struck back, killing Michael and leaving Zero wounded. As the five sisters killed the evil rulers of the land, they were worshipped by Midgard, and Zero was branded a criminal because of her desire to assassinate them. Zero’s sisters were all blessed with the power of Song as well, and were known in Midgard as the Intoners. She enlisted the help of the dragon Michael, who swore to kill Zero after they had hunted down her sisters. Not very original, I know.Īs a result, Zero took it upon herself to hunt down her five sisters (or Flower clones, really) and look for a way to permanently destroy the Flower itself. All her attempts fail, and when Zero tried to commit suicide, the Flower retaliated by birthing five sisters who were named One, Two, Three, Four, and Five. However, after learning of the Flower’s intentions and how it could bring destruction to the world, she tried to remove it from her eye to see if she could kill it. After her rebirth, the girl threw away her old name and started calling herself Zero. By implanting itself in the girl’s eye, the girl was brought back to life and she gained the power of Song. The Flower gained power by latching on to a young sex worker who was on the brink of death. The story of Drakengard and NieR starts with this Flower. Either way, the important thing to take away here is the fact that the Flower is evil, and it wants to destroy the world. No one is really sure where the Flower actually came from or what it is exactly, except that it has to be the product of some form of black magic.
#DRAKENGARD 3 CHARACTERS SERIES#
The main antagonist of the Drakengard series isn’t some crazy, cackling villain instead, it’s a small white flower that looks innocuous to anyone who passes by. Events get a little muddy after NieR’s ending, but we’ll do our best to explain some possible connections and links between the original and Automata. We’ll be going through significant events like the Flower’s appearance in Drakengard 3, the creation of the Cult of the Watchers, the defeat of the Queen-beast and appearance of the Legion, as well as the start of Project Gestalt and the events of the original NieR. This means that we’ll only be covering the events in the relevant branches for each game, but do note that the endings we do leave out also contain lore points that will help to further your understanding of this world. For the purposes of this article, we’ll be examining the timeline that brings us to the events of NieR: Automata.
The world’s history spans the entirety of three different games (so far), and each has multiple endings that lead into different timelines. Understanding the world of Midgard and NieR’s depiction of Tokyo is no easy feat.
