Praise for Abyssal Archive:
"Glorious... a bible for Souls fans." - Kotaku
"The ultimate resource for [Dark Souls] fans" - NintendoLife
"Featuring hundreds of pages of deft conjecture and some absolute Lord of the Rings level presentation, the Abyssal Archive is the ultimate must-have index for the Hollowed person in your life." - Goomba Stomp
"A collector's dream." - GamesRadar
Abyssal Archive features the most comprehensive fan analysis of Dark Souls' mythos ever undertaken. Presented in the most lavish collector's edition we have assembled to date. We set out to pay tribute to Miyazaki's legendary game by crafting something that embodies the same care and attention to detail that makes Dark Souls itself such a peerless work of art.
Includes a fold-out companion map of Lordran by artist Judson Cowan. Bound individually and housed alongside the books, this map rounds out the set, making Abyssal Archive the definitive reference for fans of Miyazaki's gothic masterpiece.
