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. 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.
