Discussions about the Entity's realm

So I read David's backstory again and...
I am very amused by the last couple of sentences. I now have a humorous image in my head of David King facing the Entity and his first reaction is putting up his fists and yelling "Come on then, let's 'ave it!" before charging into the Fog.
Who is The Observer?
With the Archive also comes a new character with it called The Observer. My question is who do you think this character is? Is it someone we know or is it a whole new character. My theory is that it's Benedict Baker. 1. The reason he is in the Entity's realm in the first place is because he was trying to figure out what…
Could the entity be pennywise?
Think about it, the entity feeds of of hope and fear just like the entity. The entity may only feed off of hope because you’re in his word and it doesn’t matter if you’re not afraid as long as you have hope, but outside of the dead by daylight world you have to be afraid of him for him to be powerful. Also what if the…

How powerful is the Entity? -Marvel/DC comics tiering system
If we used a Marvel or DC tiering system to determine the Entity's power. Would it be mere galaxy level? Or something higher like in the universal or multiversal level?
Does the entity live under the realms?
That would explain the crackling noises in the basement and why the end game collapse happenes.
What would be the true form of the Entity?
Title says it all, what do you believe the true form of this being would be? The manifestation that we see when it sacrifices the survivor is a form it can take, but what would it physically look like if we could comprehend what the being truly is. side note, I think I found out what the Entity really looks like
small theory, probably nothing
so, ive been getting more and more into the lore recently. and with halloween nearing, i of course was interested in what the lore behind the hallowed blight was. so i went onto the wiki and just read over everything... and something popped into my head when i read this quote: 23 October - Experiment I'm close to death, I…
How about that Cocoon Offering?
Killers have an offering that is a cocoon that has been breached. Any idea what was inside of it?
Who was the first person in the Realm of the Entity?
The way the Entity works is that it can bring a person form anytime period. A person from 2010 could be in the Realm of the Entity can be there longer than someone from 1947. So going off of that, who was the first survivor/killer that the Entity took?
Something i found out in some map lores.
''But as the townsfolk started to see how the lights turned on and off at night, and even could hear the crusher working, they suspected something more. But all they did was to speed up as they passed it on their way to their now somewhat safer lives'' This is part of the lore for Autohaven Wreckers and events which…
The Entity's feeding method seems incredibly inefficient
I mean, think about it. It has to find a candidate for killer, twist and manipulate them mentally if they aren't already murderous, then pull them into its realm. Then it has to wait for people to stumble into the area of the atrocity and pull them in. And don't even get me started on the energy it would take to perform…

pennywise power concept!!
pennywise's power could be his iconic red balloons and he can carry a total of 6! pennywise can place balloons which reveals survivors aura's to pennywise when they're within certain range of it and to get rid of a balloon they must pop it! However pennywise can also place fake balloons which when popped explode with blood…

Moved: Fun New Killer Idea- The Disconnectinator
This discussion has been moved.
So with the new chapter, Pennywise is now totally a viable killer option right?
Speaking lorewise, of course. Property rights-wise is always a random die roll, and if you can make Freddy Krueger work mechanics-wise not much else could be out of reach there. Always kinda wanted this guy, and with the IT remake it'd be as timely as it'd ever get to do so, but there was also a huge narrative roadblock:…
How do you think the survivors get teleported into a trial?
Do you think they just walk into random direction and end up wherever or is there some kind of ritual the entity has to do?Because if they go on their way there is no way they can get into the trial only because of those big brick walls.And i don't know but isn't every trial location a universe on it's own, you know when…
DbD loading screen
I’ve been thinking about this since I started playing the game. Can the Killer see the Survivors during a pre-lobby matchup or the main menu? Much like can the Survivors see the Killer on the opposite side of the campfire? Because if they can, why can’t they walk up to each other or at least communicate. Because it’s…
Theory: The Entity is growing more powerful with each chapter.
So, I remember seeing a post about this a while back. Since Amanda Young / The Pig had died in the films, she should not have been able to be taken into the fog. And since then, the entity has allowed killers more and more powerful perks. If the entity does not see a struggle, it sees no reason to feed. It must be getting…
Is Death a being in the DBD universe?
I've just been wondering how exactly death works in the lore. I understand that you can't really die in the entity's realm but if death was an omnipotent being, would it try to interfere with the entity's games? Also would it be allowed to take the souls sent to the void? I'm trying to get a better understanding of death…
What is on the other side of The Entity's realm's Hawkins portal?
Is it the same Upside-Down? A different one? Or could creating this "fractured" Realm within itself cause the rift in the Entity version of the lab to lead into the heart of the Entity itself? Is this where the Void is? So many questions! What do y'all think?
What's the relationship between the Entity and Mind Flayer from Stranger Things?
Alright, So the Demogorgon, Nancy and Steve are the next new characters on Dead by Daylight. However, if memory serves correct, the Demogorgon is in the Upside Down which is under the control of the Mind Flayer - a malevolent entity similar to, well, the Entity from Dead by Daylight. Lore-wise, why would the Mind Flayer…
Important thought i just had
How do the killers burn their offerings? Do they just yeet them in the survivors camp fire or do they have their own seperate fire?
Have you read the newspaper?
(Sorry for the picture ) I found this newspaper on the autoheaven gas map and it filled me with curiosity what does it mean ?
just a question.
When survivors are pulled into the entity time in the real world doesn't stop right?So let's say if a survivor was pulled in 2016 and escaped the realm (which i don't think is possible as of the moment) after 1 year time it will be 2017 in the human universe.All the events from the start of 2016 and untl late 2016 and the…
what would you like to see added to the lore?
I would like to see Vigo or Baker get more set in stone rolls and characterization besides 'mysterious hooded man' and 'man who writes in journal' for instance have Baker be more nihilistic due to him being in the Entity's realm for such a long time or Vigo wanting to either permanently destroy or control the Entity. just…
Is there a lore reason why survivor clones can exist?
What I mean is having multiple of the same survivor in a game. Why can 4 Claudettes exist at once? Is there a lore reason for this that explains it? My guess is that it is just something you have to accept as a game mechanic to not limit players choices. Also I wonder if the survivors have any reaction to seeing clones of…
5th member of The Legion as a survivor?
How about that for an idea? A fifth member of the Legion gang who 'got out while they still could'...but went in to hiding after turning their back on the group.
Wait, if The Entity can pull a being from any universe...
If The Entity can pull beings from any universe and has multiple pocket dimensions, can I safely assume there's a trial with Pyramid Head chasing down Hannah Montana, Princess Anna of Arendelle, Charlie Brown, and that one student from Bible Black?
Are the Archives going to expand the lore of EVERY survivor and killer except for the licensed one?
It is impossible for the devs not to include the original character stories, but will they add as time goes by lore for people such as Kate, Rin, Jeff and so on, the more recent survivors and killers?i doubt it, as the devs want to fresh up the game a little bit and they wanna keep us infested into the game.
a theory about the achieves
i think that the observer that we have heard about during the 3rd year anniversary is actually vigo the one survivor that we know of that used the fog in order to get what he wants for example the offering for survivors called vigos shroud has a description that tells us that he found out he could use the fog to get what…
Lore accurate perks for the DG?
Hello lovely people of the forums, I'd just begun to wonder about what perks would be the most "accurate" to the Demogorgon that we have in-game? The only perk that instantly comes off the top of my head is bloodhound but I'd love to hear what perks you include.
How do Nancy and Steve fit in?
So the way survivors end up in the trial is that they died alone right? So how do Nancy and Steve fit in to that? I've never watched the show, but I'm pretty sure the devs said they were both in season 3 which means they are still alive. So how exactly did they end up in the entity's world?
I thought I posted this in off topic oh crap Pls ignore wrong game lore.
We're going back to Theros at the beginning of the year and Zendikar at the end. Ikoria is a new plane that will apparently have customizable monsters as a mechanic. Then of course there's the Core set, but who cares. What really matters is that with a title like "Beyond Death," we're sure to see Elspeth again, right? ....…
Lore wise what would the survivors reaction be when they see the demogorgon for the first time?
Some of them will probably shat themselves, others would freeze in fear and some would do both of these things.
Whats the purpose of the survivors and killers being in The Entity's realm?
Question*
why is the pig able to carry survivor like jane or david
is the saw film i believe it was part 2 .. detectives or police even stated that it couldnt be woman because she wouldnt be able to carry a man , which later on was true because there was 2nd assistant to jigsaw who carried those man , so amanda is also normal human , she cant have that strenght same as michael myers
Proof the entity is getting stronger (the devs words not mine)
I asked a question in another thread that made me look for an answer and oh boy did i find more than i bargained for... The entity has gotten SUBSTANTIALLY stronger since the game was first released. my original question was "Is possible for the entity to pull someone from the future?" as i once heard that was impossible…
Where do the killers stay when they are not chasing survivors?
We know well that the survivors stay in the fog when they aren't in a trial, but where are the killers? Do they all stay behind the killer that is posing in the selection screen? All they are in the basement and "the hookers" meetings are cannon?
Lore speculation all about the Demogorgon
Sense we will probably know all about the Stranger Things lore on Thursday I thought it would be good getting this out asap. So, how does the Demogorgon enter the Entitys realm, is it forced, invited, manipulated or, could it actually be a invader in this realm? Is it being controlled by the Entity or does it have almost…
Stranger Things Chapter Lore
At first glance, it doesn't seem like the demogorgon fits in the realm of the Entity with two new survivors. I'll point out the problems and the answers I came up with. Problems: The Demogorgon isn't human and he can't feed the Entity. The Demogorgon just wouldn't obey the Entity and kill survivors on their own. The Entity…
Archives: Lore for Licensed Characters?
One doubt that I had since the Archives were announced was on how it would affect licensed characters, like, could we have lore and stories about Michael Myers, Pig or Ash? I imagine that it would be similar to the situation with the cosmetics, all depending on the company, and if they allow it, but as we have gained stuff…
What are you doing with LORE devs?
LoL what? Monster ??? Devs. It's KILLERS game ! NOT MONSTERS ! What are you doing with LORE? Are you making WHITE NOISE game from Dead by Daylight game ? Shame on you...
Barbara?
Okay, so i don't watch the Stranger Things series, and there's probably other reasons why she wasn't chosen. But i watch the dev video and i hear they didn't choose her cause she died? Didn't we make Entity lore that death doesn't matter cause Bill & Spirit were dragged in?
Magick ? Or at least alchemy ?
I really want some magick perks for survivors, Vigo already tempered with the killer using the entity's blood! If I was a survivor I'd be making experiments to see if we could use it on ourselves. I mean what's the worst that can happen, dying ? XD
So survivor technology DOES work in the entity
With the body part of Meg's new cosmetic there is some blinking device it looks like a smartphone of some sorts.What we know is that its used for listening to music and probably counts your steps and your heart rate.
Prestige blood
Do you think the prestige rewards with the blood soaked clothing is a survivors own blood or some other survivors blood?
Killers & Survivors Appearing
The Plague was absorbed by the entity the longest ago right? So why are we only seeing her now has she always been there and now the entity is just revealing her to us. But if thats the case then why is the temple of purgation coming out of the red forest which was made along side the Huntress Which came long after her.
New chapter Lore
What if the Mind Flayer is the Entity?
