The road to omnipotence
Ever since I played dead by daylight I've always had one question, who are the ancients the mysterious arcane guy talks about, and are they omnipotent beings? I'm going to refer to this guy as the architect, since I don't know his real name, he studied the entity for many years and has played trial by trial of the entitys…

Benedict didn't write the Hallowed Blight journals.
So there are two different persons in the lore: a) Our friend Benedict Baker, presumably a journalist or detective, who embarked on a journey to investigate the Macmillan Estate missing cases in 1956. He did a thorough library research beforehand and was at least to some extent aware of what he'd get himself into. During…

Just want to point out
Felix has most likely clashed with the entity once before being taken. In his bio: Exploring an abandoned internment camp, they descended into what seemed to be an underground laboratory where they uncovered old, leather journals with illustrations and notes of inhumane experiments conducted on prisoners of the First Opium…

Why I'm not too keen on the whole 'entity cult' thing, personally
I dunno why, and maybe the devs will prove me wrong, but Felix and Talbot both have this feeling of 'chosen one' to me, and I don't like it. On the side of survivors we have people from all walks of life, but who is the first (only?) one to lore wise be able to make a difference by all means? A blond, white, rich dudebro.…

Is There Any Real Hope For The Survivors Escaping?
Title. I've recently been trying to get more into the lore and I wonder if theres any hope for them. All I've got is Vigos use of the pusteala flowers (I think thats the name) to escape the void.

How Do Other Dimensions Work In The Entitys Realm?
I'm mainly referring to the Upside Down and Silent Hill. We know they exist because Demo can traverse the Upside Down and everyone can traverse Silent Hill. Since Silent Hill is controlled by something (I think its the sun goddess), does that mean the Entity has to make a deal with them or can she just replicate it in her…

So, if the Entity does make mistakes...
(inspired by a post in the 'do killers meet' thread) Now, if the devs said the Entity does make mistakes, how likely is it e.g. for having forgotten to mess with the hearing of the killers who's eyes it messed with (deathslinger e.g.) Cause, lbr, it's not big mistakes that make the biggest difference, it's the small ones.

Fun lore Questions
Here are some lore questions that no one asked for :-) -What IRL songs do you think would be on the Legion's mixtapes? -Obviously, Killers have corresponding maps. But some killers have lore that ties into them (Max's room, Thompson house, Asarov, Asarov's resting place, Cannibal's cellar, swamp) Can these locations be…

Cleansing totems
When a survivor cleanses a totem...what exactly are they doing? Like, how do they cleanse it? I'm sure that they just don't rub it until it breaks by itself. If that was the case, they could just kick it. And why do they grunt while doing it?

Do Killers Meet Each Other?
Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm relatively new to the lore side of DBD. But do killers see each other? I know legion can see the other members but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule. I think it'd be pretty boring if they didn't. I'd love to see something like Death Slinger and Huntress get into a…

Where *do* cosmetics come from in-universe?
I don't mean special 'theme' cosmetics like the greek legends, but 'normal' outfits. Does the Entity regularly raid the character's closets?

Machination of Horrors (Death Slinger short story)
Air in the saloon hung still, like there was no oxygen, just tobacco smoke from a previous reality, frozen in a timeless place to remind those of the vices that came before. Phantom notes played on the Grand Piano, no musician in sight. Was there actual music coming from this instrument's keys or was this a cruel illusion…

I have a theory.
What if the entity lets the survs go after 100 years or 500? You get what I'm sayin'? Edit: I mean if they suffered enough.

Where are each maps located
We can say for sure that ormand is in canada and dead dag saloon in arizona, but what about the other locations?

What do you think amenda(pig) thinks about the survivors

Descend Beyond Character lore
Since I haven't really seen anyone else post anything about this, here's the lore for Felix Richter and the Blight that I spent some time typing from the game (there may be a few punctuation differences, but otherwise, it's word for word). Felix Richter Felix Richter was born to Janos and Ursula Richter in Coburg, Germany,…

What songs do you think the legion mix tapes have?
Based on what we know of the legion members and the way they dress what kind of songs do you think they have on their mixtapes?

The scariest part about Dead By Daylight is that it is technically eternal suffering.
Just think about it. Forget about killers or trials, they are not the thing that is the most insane and horrifying in DbD. It is the eternal aspect of it. Time flows different in realm of the Entity, years, thousands of years can pass, while it is less than second outside. It's like a dream, where you experience entire…

Is The Blight Vigo?
They both use the flowers, they both are researchers, and Blight has Vigos journal as an addon. But the name is different. So is he the same person going by an alius or are they two different people with considerable overlap in lore?

Connecting the Blight - Has he been in the realm since 2018?
With the PTB release of the Blight we have received, what I think is, the last piece in a larger story that has been told since the first Hallowed Blight Event in 2018. Here is what I think the first time we were introduced to the new killer “The Blight” aka Talbot Grimes.. The first time we come across Talbot is in the…

Who are you? (Uh huh) I am you (What) I am me, no, sir, you are you
Alright, it's 3am. And I'm running on fumes. I had a thought about how the Entity and Realm have select Survivors and Killers. But more on the Survivor side... Lore wise... How do you suppose it explains Doppelgangers. Combinations of twins, triplets and quads that all look like each other. Fun answers, we all know it's…

The blights cane
This may come across as not much of a great mystery but this one did sticker out to me when I saw the blight which being his cane, he doesn’t use it as a normal cane which makes sense he’s crazy obviously he will use it in a different fashion but why a cane. Why does this question is interesting is because it doesn’t match…

I hate when people say that he is another stalking…

Hawkins National Lab- The Gate To The Upside Down Discussion
Hello the community of Dead by Daylight and thank you for spending your time on reading the post.

For all we know, every trial is…

The Blight's lore: Rawalpindi Experiments reference?
If you haven't read the new killer's story, here it is: About the Opium War I I found the Blight's (aka the Alchemist's) story heavily linked to the Opium War. More accurately, on a remote island of India, he experimented on the captured soldiers (and maybe citizens) of the Opium War I, who undoubtly were Chinese during…

Entity Touched Eyes
So, I'll start off by saying this was mainly taken from a different post where I discuss the killers that are "unwilling" to perform their duty as a killer. Basically think of Trapper with all of the iron hooks embedded into his flesh. But this theory moves away from that, and talks about a common theory, which is…

How many killers have been tricked/tortured/manipulated into serving the Entity?
There seems to be a clear split amongst the killers when it comes to how they got into the Entity's service: those it tricked/manipulated/totured into its service, and those that came willingly. But has anyone ever sat down making a list of which killer goes where? I mean, Wraith, Trapper and Deathslinger have been…

This would be funny
So I was reading some comments about escaping the entity's realm and one of them mentioned about survs meeting in real life. It would be a shock for them. They would probably think it was a nightmare. They go to a vacation to china and they see feng and realize it wasn't a nightmare. LoL. Or they are camping in a forest…

How big a part of Deathslinger's story is that Mason Kelly guy?
I kinda feel like there's unfathomed potential here. Mason Kelly shows up in Caleb's lore several times: His wanted poster is one of Caleb's addons, it's him who Caleb catches after his leg got shot to pieces, and it's Kelly's gang who kidnapped five of Caleb's men, leading to the Glenvale Massacre. And Kelly might be the…

So do survivors lose their memories after every resurrection or not?
How do we have teachables then? Granted, resetting survivors back to day one every time they die certainly makes logistic sense from the Entity's perspective, but it doesn't seem like that's what's happening in-game. How would survivors ever "go hollow" or whatever its called and be sent to the Void when they aren't useful…

Theory on content in Clown's VHS tape
VHS porn's item description is "An all time classic". Now let's look at some dates. VHS was invented in 1977, Clown was born in 1932 making him 45 at the time (his age will be important for later). During the late 70s and mostly 80s who was a prominent figure in the adult film industry? That's right Ron Jeremy a "classic"…

The (Unofficial) Timeline of Dead by Daylight
It should be noted that the Omniverse mentioned in Tome II seems to indicate that Dead by Daylight exists in a multiverse that the Entity is able to travel though, in addition to being able to travel through space and time. The Omniverse/multiverse explains the presence of licensed killers and survivors who cannot exist in…

Is there an explanation as to how the survivors get their haircuts?
I'm assuming no. Maybe the entity can transform the survivors' hairstyles at their will. It obviously has the power to deform killers and give them superpowers, so why would it not be able to cut or transform hair? I'd like to see a barber survivor being added through DLC though, that'd be a cool character to play as.…
