Dark Souls III - Locations
The regions of Lothric and the lands beyond it, in roughly the order a first playthrough reaches them. Dark Souls III is built as a vertical knot of shortcuts, elevators and one-way doors, so each area connects back to Firelink Shrine through bonfire travel and opened passages.
