The timeline and lore of games has always interested me. Researching this episode and looking into Booker, Comstock and generally how each universe is connected was really interesting.
I started Skyrionn to go back and look at easter eggs and the little details in classic video games. A few new games may come up at some point, but some games can become instant classics! Hopefully these episodes give you some gaming nostalgia.

Would you kindly share this with all of your Bioshock friends? I would really appreciate it!
Absolutely!, I really appreciate the time and research that went into these videos!. Keep it up!
Of course atlas i will 😏😂
Sure atlas
Wait sorry fountaine
Where is the part 2? It is already 2023 hahaha
Bruh imagine trying to kill someone and you accidentally make them omniscient
You: *Kills Two People*
Those People: *Come Back as Gods* lmfao.
But, how Comstock could not see that outcome. Scripts that have "messing with time" always have flaws
Rosalind basically pulled a Jesus H Christ
@@fuongbregas he could see through tears. not like willful visions of whatever he wanted. Its very possible he just didnt see a tear that showed this outcome.
Obi Wan Kenobi
Wow, for years I've been trying to understand this intentionally confusing lore via videos and reading the wiki, but none of that has ever been as clear as this simple and concise explanation. The BioShock series is one of my all-time favourites so it's always bothered me that I don't actually know the full story. Seriously, thank you, and I can't wait for the next couple videos on this topic.
It's a big reason I made it. When I finished Bioshock, I was really confused and it took researching this story to fully understand it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@Skyrionn: Time travel stories are like that.
@@Skyrionn This is without a doubt the BEST explanation of Bioshock infinite...I played that game so long ago, watched videos, kinda sorta got...but this is hands down the best and now I ACTUALLY get it. I just thought it was just one of those 'time travel' games I'll never fully understand without SERIOUSLY studying it and replaying it (which you obviously did) and I just didn't have the time. Subscribed and I'll recommend it to anyone who ever asks about this story.
@skyrionn Bioshock is almost as fun as borderlands maybe they should collab
Lmao same
omg, this by far the best explanation of the Infinite timeline so far. Props to you pal!
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you liked it. Now to start on the next part of the timeline!
❤️❤️❤️
I remember the first time I ever played this game. Back in the good old days, I asked my friend if he had any good recommendations for great looking games on the Xbox 360. He recommended me Bioshock Infinite. I didn’t think much of it at first, checked out the gameplay, seemed like a pretty decent shooter with some cool superpowers (I never heard about the bio shock series before this). Got around to getting it, inserted the disk and got right into that bad boy. I remember not thinking much of it at all, didn’t even expect I’d finish it, just wanted to satisfy my craving for good graphics and fun combat. But then the screen went completely black as I hit new game.
“Booker, are you afraid of god?”
“No. But I’m afraid of you.”
Just like that, the entire mood changed. That’s when I came to the realisation that I was completely not prepared for the experience I was about to receive. And boy, was this game an experience.
I totally forgot about that opening and you just brought it flooding back
What a great game. One of my favorites, always.
The fact that you just casually mention the zeppelin fight that took me hours to beat in 1999 mode makes me sad.
Also, none of the Elizabeths at the drowning are the one Booker traveled the whole game with. Remember choosing the bird or the cage brooch for Elizabeth? None of them were wearing it.
Awesome video.
I never played the game on 1999. That fight was difficult enough on the regular difficulty! Thanks for watching. I'm currently midway through the next part in the timeline. The events just after Infinite and before Bioshock 1.
@@Skyrionn I definitely wouldn't have beaten 1999 without the infinite money exploit.
Last time I played this I was a kid I’m now replaying and man I just appreciate the deep lore so much more. Timeless game.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I really enjoyed putting it together
Watched a lot of bioshock infinite ending explanation, and none of them are mostly crappy talk with a lot of redundant introduction (like its not important to tell the unnecessary introduction lol). And when I discovered your video, i can easily understand all of them one single watch only! Great storytelling method, awesome narration, and very detailed timeline 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thank you! That's all I wanted to create when I was putting this together. Did you see the other part of the timeline yet?
I just discovered your channel via the Aperture history video that got Recommended. You deserve more views and subs! At least I can say I was here before 1K. :D
I'm glad you found me! Stick around. Now passed 1k!
Same
@@Skyrionn I will surely stick around!
You got another sub!
20K later... Are you still around would you kindly?
This video blew my mind.. Its so easy to understand. THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful! I'm still working on the next part!
Top quality content, see you in recommended
Thanks for clicking!
These are so well made my man keep it up and your gonna blow up eventually. Awesome
I appreciate the comment. Hopefully one day!
THIS WAS SO GOOD
All of your hard work is going to pay off :)
Thanks Jon! Thanks for the support! Means a lot.
The piano work hits so hard
Very well made! It's rare to see such small CZcamsrs in my home suggested, but I'm very glad! Good luck
It's great to see that I was suggested that way. CZcams is liking me at the moment! :)
Excellent vid mate. Just replayed this amazing story after 10 years. Enjoyed it more now than ever.
Amazing how much work you put into your work, I've really been enjoying the vids so far and can't wait to see more! Good things shall come for you
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I really hope so. I really enjoy putting these together.
Outstanding summary and production! I've played several times and still managed to learn a few more pieces you've put together so well. Thank you for making this summary of the best video game ever made.
Wow.. I completely missed the part where Daisy Fitzroy was framed for the murder of Lady Comstock. Seems like such a big detail. No idea how I didn't catch that. Daisy's audio diaries made it seem like she killed her.
This was revealed in burial at sea pt. 2
Really well made, and nice and easy to follow it all. Good work! You deserve way more views.
I just made something that I hadn't seen on CZcams, and it became a series. I've also looked at Fable, Half-Life and Portal!
Infinite was my first Bioshock game when it came out and I had no idea what was going on. Now I've just finished all the games and DLC and I'm so lucky to be in the realty where you made these videos to connect it all together :)
Really enjoyed the animations/videos you did of the game and characters! Never seen a video like this. Onward to see Part 2!
Thank you so much! So much love and time went into this because I love the series and storytelling. I appreciate the kind words!
I was so happy by your explanation that I shed a tear by the completion of this part 1. Very beautifully explained!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Oh, there's two more parts :D
Thankyou so much for this. There isn't a lot of lore videos on Infinite, and the production quality is a huge plus.
I just wanted to make something that looked good, and you could see the events happening while narrating. Thanks for watching. I have more timelines and some lore videos on the way!
I just found your channel through recommended. I really like the content you're putting out of plot summaries. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching. I'm in the process of putting together some fact episodes to reduce the gap in uploading while I'm working on the next part of the timeline. If you have any suggestions of fact videos or games to look at lore in, then lemme know!
@@Skyrionn - Dishonored?? :D
@@ember-brandt I've seen it around, but haven't gotten around to play it. So far, I've added Borderlands and Dishonoured to my list!
This is incredible!
Im so looking forward to the other two parts!!
Stick around :) I'll be working on them. In the meantime, I have other timelines (Fable, Half-Life and Portal) aswell as fact and SIms stories.
Awesome work dude, definitley glad I clicked on your video in the fable subreddit. Looking forward to part 2 of this video but in the meantime imma binge the rest of your content
I'm so glad you came over! As a Fable fan, would like you a continuation of that timeline?
@@Skyrionn hell yeah, a timeline on the events between 1 and 2 would be sweet. Only problem I can foresee is that there's not much lore written because, as he said in your Q&A, they really never developed deep lore for the game series. Another game that would be awesome for a timeline is KOTOR about the events of Exar Kun, The Mandolorian wars, then Jedi civil war leading up to Revan's assassination attempt.
I really enjoyed your video ! Explanations are clear, as i never understood everything about this complicated universe, so great job man !
I just wanted to make something that was easy to understand. It blew my mind when I discovered that the events of Infinite happened before Rapture. I'm exploring that in the next one :) Thanks for watching!
@@Skyrionn keep up the good work ! You got yourself a new subscriber ;)
Wonderfully done -- I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with Bioshock 1 & 2! :)
I already have recorded the audio. Just need to put together the visual which is what takes the most time! Thanks for watching!
The thing that still gets me is if Booker/Comstock is drowned by the end how is does Elisabeth still exist? Or at least the original version of her?
Does she disappear like the rest? Does she not?
The camera just tills up to the sky and we hear the last piano key. If she gone how does she show up in the DLC in Rapture years later?
This a little late but it because Elizabeth body exist in 2 dimensions at the same time so say the history in one dimension get rest well the other dimension still has history of the event therefore forcing history upon the oth
Only way she could exist is if he had her before he went to the first baptism surely. Also different timelines might have it where Annabel never died so no debt, no transaction. I presume we're looking at the versions of Anna where Booker becomes the false prophet or Comstock.
If that is true, it might be a different version of her or a different version of rapture. If she can open tears in one universe it's likely she's able to do it in other realities. Also might have something to do with her existence in multiple realities kinda similar to the twin(s) where technically she's not in one place or another, breaking the timeline in a sense.
Im guessing she disappears as well, as if I’m not mistaken at the end of the game, she fades away as well when they are drowning booker/cormstock
It's just a theory I had while I played the game but since Elizabeth can open and travel throught tears, she doesn't know exactly what timeline shes entering. Maybe there's still one timeline where she doesn't drown Booker/comstock therefore forcing more history i.e the sea of doors.
@@maximus3022 the original elizabeth doesnt enter the last lighthouse. You can understand it from her necklace which is missing in the baptism part. The original elizabeth then goes to the rapture, then burial at sea begins.
Wow, this was impressive. What a really great job, congratulations! I liked this more than the game lmao hahaha subscribed!
I guess Bioshock Infinite is not too popular these days, but had this video been out back then it would have millions of views. Keep it up!
I keep finding videos from 7+ years ago so thank you for this “updated” explanation, glad to see the infinite community is still alive
You sir have done a very great job with this. This might be the simplest, concise, shortest explanation Ive seen of the entire game that explains everything from Wounded Knee>Beginnings of Columbia and all the details some players have missed>the game we play. Good job
Wow, thanks! I felt like the lore videos I could find on Bioshock didn't tell the story how I wanted. I wanted to have the main moments there, and visual it too so it was easy to follow. Thanks for watching! I'm currently working on the second part. It's set 7 years after the events of Columbia - as Rapture is being built.
I love you. You put so so much work into making these + the amazing quality and even professional like way of speaking and writing is truly amazing. You deserve so much more recognition for your hard hard work.
Glad you like them! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I'm about half way through the next Bioshock timeline which focuses on the events between Infinite and Bioshock 1.
@@Skyrionn I should rather be thanking *you* for all the hard work you put into making these videos.. I'll check it out when I have time. Keep up the good work. And by the way, the video was VERY informative and gave me a much bigger insight into the world of Infinite. So thank you for that. Keep up the good work. :)
This was so impressive ! I normally have to watch short explanation videos because I get bored , the 3rd person views of the story in columbia made this a thrill to watch !
Woah thank you! I wanted to make something that made sense and that would be interesting to watch. There's another part too :)
This is amazing, you laid this video out perfectly.
Thanks so much for your comment and for watching!
Amazing vid . You made it very comprehensible, thank you!!!
This was absolutely amazing. I played this game 3 times and still didn’t come close to getting all of this information. Incredible work. Thank you
This was very well done, great job!
This is the best explanation that i have seen in my entire life
Thank you! Please share it around if you can. More people watching means I can work on the final chapter!
I've only watched 2 minutes of this video yet, and I already understand way more than I've ever understood from playing the games and watching other videos. Good job explaining it so far :D
This is the second time of me watching this. I can't get enough of bioshock and your videos are the best ones I found on youtube to recreate the memories of this game. Love you dude. Would you kindly?
Amazing work pal. I enjoyed every single moment of the video!!
Thank you! Did you watch the next 2 parts? I appreciate the support!
What’s good is that this was made on Alex’s birthday
Found you through your portal video which was randomly reccomend to me, the algorithm is favoring you! You deserve it, really interesting stuff!!
It really is at the moment. I'm glad you found your way here!
@@Skyrionn oh I'm recommending your channel to all of my fellow bioshock and valve fans, I loved the video
@@rosearchfield843 That'd be much appreciated. It'd help grow this space!
@@Skyrionn No problem! Keep up the great work!
You've already gotten tons of comments on this, but big thanks - I finally understand the entirety of the Bioshock Infinite story for the first time now. Definitely increases my love for it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! This is just the first part too ☺ I have a larger video with the whole timeline or two additional parts
Amazingly well organized and detailed explanations. I've played this game a number of times yet missed many of the things you outlined.
Glad you enjoyed it!
i love these history videos, theyre a good recap for some and fill allot of info for others
They're my favourite things to make on the channel!
Dash here, good job as always man. This gave me an insight on things i didn't realize about the story. Now i'm going to replay this game lol.
Thanks Dash. As always, I massively appreciate the support!
@@Skyrionn Like wise, keep up the good work
Goodjob bro, this is the most detail Bioshock explanation video I ever seen. loved it
Thanks a ton! I really appreciate you watching it and commenting.
Great video, can't wait for more!
Always working on more. Currently putting together some fact videos so that the channel isn't absent while putting together the next Bioshock timeline part.
Thank you man! I finally get it, haha. Plus the Half-Life and Portal storylines were amazing too, hopefully your channel blows up so other can see your great videos, I'll do my part in sharing them. Thanks once again, and great video! 👍🏼
That's very kind! I really appreciate the comment. I'm always working on more content too! Stick around!
@@Skyrionn Awesome, will definetly be sticking around, that's for sure.
Truly awesome compendium! Must have taken you a lot of time to pull all this together. All I can think of to say is BRAVO!!!!
It took months my dude, and there's two other parts which should be on a playlist somewhere! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@Skyrionn Yes, I saw them and watched them all... nice work!!!
Thanks Skyrrion! Back in the day I was very intrigued by this game. Gonna give it a go again! The ending was one of the biggest mind F's ever.
this video is amazing. i kinda understood everything but really couldnt explain it until i saw this vid, thank u
Glad it helped! I really wanted to make something that was simple for the story :)
These vids are some of the highest quality videos I have ever seen what so ever the fact that such a small channel relative to other similar quality have millions of subs dude. These vids are great hope you only the best
Wow, thank you! I'm waiting for the day that the algorithm picks up the video and shows people. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch it.
In love with the editing!
This was exactly what I was looking for! Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video deserves way more than 92,000 views.
Thanks for doing this! Now I got a clearer look at this magnificent game's storyline
Glad I could help! There is another part which shows the next chunk of the timeline...
czcams.com/video/SLO2SZ1BXjU/video.html
I'm working on the final part right now!
I've just played this game for the first time and this video clears up all of the questions I had about not just the ending, but the entire story. I didn't know that Fink was looking into Rapture and that was why the plasmids could be carried over into this completely different setting. I think even in 2020 this is one of the best stories ever told in a game.
Infinite is one of the best stories I have every played. Did you see the second video which continues with the events of Rapture?
@@Skyrionn I only had time to watch the first one today but I'm probably going to look at that one at some point. Still haven't played bioshock 2 but the way you presented the story makes so much more sense than other videos I've watched about infinite.
Thank you. I tried to piece it together myself and this clarifies so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing video! Perfectly succinct and accurate, could you please make one for Burial at Sea episode 1 and 2?
Thank you! Please share it around if you can. I have the voiceover completed for the final part of the timeline (which continues from the decline of Rapture to present day). I'll be starting work on the visuals soon.
You have special narrating skills!!..Thanks for this great video
This was brilliant!! Thank you 👌🏼
Bruh 2 years later.... I applaud you. New subscriber, well done my friend.
this is simply incredible congrats man!
Thanks a ton! I really appreciate that. Have you watched the next part?
I remember playing Infinite and thinking that i didn't understand where all this fit into the Bioshock universe. thank you for clarifying this for me.
You're very welcome. I made this because I wanted to create something that was easy to understand!
Awesome vid
One of the greatest games ever made, work of pure art
One of the best videos i have watched keep it up
Great video and easy to follow, helped me understand this game so much more!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm working on what happens next currently! RAPTURE.
Skyrionn Sounds great! Subbed, I look forward it :)
Bro you deserve a lot more views for this video... This is brilliant work
Thank you so much 😀
Never thought i could find this uncharted Territory of a CZcamsr.
Amazing Content
Thanks so much! Constantly working on more stuff. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I love these editing. Jesus dude you deserve more subscribers and likes. I'll make sure to share this video. And I will definitely start the message with "Would you kindly watch this video".
Please do! Sharing would be so helpful! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment too! Thanks for watching :) p.s - I posted part 2 last week...
@@Skyrionn definitely gonna watch.
Beautifully done!
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
You deserve more veiws my friend :)
I appreciate the comment! With more content will come more views I hope!
The best explanation I have seen on Bioshock Infinite. Thanks for the video, I really appreciate your efforts and can't wait to see part 2. I got only one question that, if the Booker dies in baptism, does it mean he will be dead in all multiverses just like Comstock disappears due to death of Booker or Booker's death only serves to erase Comstock existance and Booker lives in another multiverse with his daughter Anna? Could you please answer this question? Thanks in advance :)
I love the images, adds another level of clarity and quality
Thank you! That was the reason for making these timelines. I wanted to show the story that was happening instead of the generic gameplay footage as I thought that showing the actions on screen would help people understand it more!
Masterpiece p, very well explanation.
Loved this video. i also liked how songbird drifts in the animation you made hahah.
Glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun putting this together. Have you watched part 2?
@@Skyrionn link it to me.

@@Skyrionn thanks! I’ll give it a watch.
Amazing Job man, i dont know how i found you. But i subscribed and will stay.
It's great to have you here. Always working on more videos!
Just finished the game and I loved it, but I felt like I was missing so many pieces in the story... Thank you for this awesome video, now everything makes sense!
Did you found these details in the voice recordings? I can't believe I missed so many (T_T)
Glad you enjoyed it! It takes a few playthroughs to grab all of the tiny details. There's so much information in the voice recordings.
This is a really good fucking video. I have never understood the lore behind it, and now I pretty much do!
Never stop mate you have got mad skills at making these videos.
Thanks Jet! It was so fun to explore and understand it properly myself before re-telling the story. It was a lot of work, but seeing the complete thing was the best feeling!
This video was great, yesterday I finished bioshock infinite and didn't understand many things but now I do please continue such great Content
Thanks bud! Really appreciate that!
very good video! keep up the good work
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
you know i was looking for what new games appeared on the market, like bioshock used to be. unfortunately none really appealed to me. then i thought about what an amazing game this was but i never really understood the ending. Thank God your video is one of the first if not the first recommendations I hope your channel will blow up. earned a new sub and def going to hear back from people i share this with! have a good one!
Awesome! I'm so glad that you clicked on it! I have more timelines and lore episodes on other games too. (I also have another Bioshock timeline in the works as the events of Rapture happen after Infinite). Thanks for commenting and finding me!
nice edit and very good explanation keep it up
This is probably THE best infinite explained vid. Extremely necessary too for such a complex game, love the plot but boy can it be hard to follow at times lol.
It was hard to follow, but so worth it when you understand it!
Incredible work
Wow thank you that was explained brilliantly
Thank you for watching it! It took a while but I feel like it was worth it. There are 2 other parts too!
I’m here after finishing everything bioshock. No video has given so much details unlike this. I have always been your fan of half-life lore. This video is best in CZcams, as I didn’t understand other explanation videos about bioshock timeline. Man what a work. I’m continuing part 2 and 3. Much love from India 🇮🇳✌️✌️✌️✌️
It took such a long time to research and put together but I wanted to tell the story as accurate as possible. Thanks for watching. Much love from the UK. :D
nice work :D
You missed the after credits scene. In that booker wakes up in his detective office, seemingly distressed about Anna and it is then revealed that Anna is there and he is "born anew" in a timeline where he did not give Anna away and is rewarded this new life as he chose the 3rd option (to drown) at the end.
Great video. My all time fav game
bro... This is the best explanation I've heard
Thanks so much!
Just finished a replay on the 360. I understood a decent amount, just a few details that I missed.
Overall great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes this made more sense. Well done.
Thank you for this video very helpful
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Great job!
Thank you!
That was perfect. Well done!
Its such a good and complex story. I just really wish they hadn't crammed it into the last 20 minutes of the game - leaving everyone running to the internet for answers.
I so glad you liked it! I'm working on the next part currently :)
@@Skyrionn well I'm a subscriber now so I'll be sure to see it. Two points:
1) At the very end you said "until one remains" but it cuts to black before we can see if she remains or is erased. I think logically she is erased as well.
2) Either people miss it or its more obvious than I think, but the setting of the baptism/drowning takes place where the river forks off into 2 different paths. I thought that was as nice poetic metaphor as that's where and when Booker/Comstock's paths split.
@@grezz247 Yes, thank you! Welcome aboard!
With the first point, I did play with that line for a while and how to phrase it. I settled on that, due to how Burial At Sea plays out. We know an Elizabeth exists because we see her.
With the second point, I love how poetic this game is. It's visually stunning, and tells a story without having to spoon feed the player.
I love the series so much.
