What is the deal with the survivors losing their memories after each match
I was just wondering as it doesn't make sense since you would constantly think that you just know meeting people around the campfire, and it also brings up a question of how survivors teach each other skills, or how they know what to do in a match can somebody please explain this to me.
Chapter 24 Lore Theory (Contains Spoilers!!!!)
With the new teaser image out today that displays a pamphlet to the utopian society of the Garden of Joy, this pretty much 100% confirms the validity of the leaks with the new map offering clearly stated to bring the user to the Garden of Joy. Based on this, I have a formulated a pretty good theory for what the lore of…

Problems with The Spirit and The Oni's names.
I just had a realization. Rin and Kazan are both Japanese, and yet their surnames are last? They are Rin Yamaoka and Kazan Yamaoka, but according to traditional Japanese naming, they would be Yamaoka Rin and Yamaoka Kazan. Just curious if anyone has a reason for why they are flipped about, like most of the world's names…
if i could have a crack at the artist lore
(note that most of this is just my opinion, and that i'm not requesting this to be finalized by bhvr, also this is lore, so if your not into please don't comment on it and be like "uhh i'm not into the lore of this game") so we all know that the artist lore has alot of flaws, and i would like to address and try and fix…
Servants of the entity? Or….?
in a scene with the observer, we can see that he has been having certain visitors coming to kill him or drag him to the realm of the entity or somewhere else. most of you might say these things are constructs of the entity or they aren’t due to the fact that it that the entity doesn’t have any jurisdiction in this part of…
Why would The Observer be a killer?
i thought he was good
What nationality and country is jonah
So, when his chapter arrived I thought he would be Chilean, just like the artist. But in his lore it doesnt say anything about it, just that he lived in U.S.A. So, is just an american with latino descendes, or is a chileno living in USA, or is from another country?? Or what??
Pregnancy in the Entities realm?
Since this isn't strict reality could someone like David get pregnant or does the entity prevent pregnancy all-together? Would it allow a couple in the fog to have a child to feed off their hope of giving it a better life? I think these are some important lore related questions that futures tomes should answer.
yall need to learn how to pick your battles
some of you REALLY can't just accept things and move on huh? a character is gay, that's that. If you don't like it, you can tell yourself in your head you're justified in not liking it, but for real, yall just need to learn to bite your tongue sometimes. /rant
Nemesis’ zombie minions becoming lickers
So if the zombies are actually abducted by the Entity when it napped Nemesis and not just another of the Entity’s fabrication, could those zombies end up turning into lickers?
What do you guys think the date of the Entity's birthday is?
In Tome III Arcus 723, The Observer receives an Invitation to the Entities birthday party, While the Observer himself states that he thinks he's losing his mind and grip on reality, thus meaning that this could be a hallucination, I doubt this due to the invitation to the party being attached to a solid object in form of a…
What is Dwight's favorite color?
Thats all.
I discovered something about the observer
The observer is going to die... I know that's dark but worry not he will come back. So I been rewatching all the rift scenes that has to do with the observer and I screenshots some stuff that might be important. He was being hunted. How did he survive? Young observer was dragged to a destroyed towel so entered it for…
What’s this hive thing?
Has this entity hive looking thing always been here at Wreckers Yard? never mind it’s a cankerous pustules
How did Laurie & Michael end up in the realm?
I think we all know that in their backstories, It pretty much tells us their personalities and what happens in the movie. There is no entity involved for some reason. I hope they update the lore and/or give us a tome for them.
Given the Lore of Wraith
Wouldn't it make more sense for his mori to be a bit more like him pushing a survivor into a summoned compactor, or pulling their head with spine attached out of their body? Or even just him whizzing around them at speed confusing them with gongs until he finally smacks them dead? It feels like any of these would be better…
A question about Mikaela
So heres something that i would like to know. So, Mikaela is supposed to be the witch architipe of dbd, which i think her story does well, and it makes scence for a witch character to have boon totems. The question i have is...why? Why Was mikaela chosen for boon totems when their was a character in the archives who…
Ngl i think Haddie might be my new main
Iv said it once and ill say it again, Haddie is the love child of lauren warren and abarham van helsing. That is all
Why no lore about the most important characters?
I dont get it, this game has been out for ages and we have gotten no information about these characters, no tomes, no hints, no nothing! Its about time we got something BHVR! TELL US THEIR STORY
The Spirits Yozakura is mis-labeled....can we get some re-work on it?
As a lover of Japanese symbolic flowers and such i feel that the skin rocks! but....as it being labeled as the Sakura blossom flower? kinda is wrong for the fact the cosmetic is not cherry blossoms it is in fact Higanbana a.k.a "the flower of death" or "hell flower" if you wanted to keep the name or the cosmetic, i would…
Why is Michael Myers so hard to put down? (Halloween Spoilers)
This is more of a lore question towards Halloween, rather than DBD. However, since Myers is in DBD, I feel like it's appropriate to ask this here. This question ONLY applies to the 2018 timeline, which is the first movie, the 2018 movie, the 2021 movie, and the next one called Halloween Ends. Anything from the other movies…
Third way to escape the trials?
I recently watched a YouTube video in which it mentions that the Devs have disclosed there IS a third way of escaping the trials. The other two obviously being the hatch and the exit gates. I don't believe that the devs would suggest that dying, DCing or Uninstalling would be a way in which to escape. The YouTube video in…
Adjustments that I would make to The Artist’s Lore
• Make Carmina confused about the crows. (There are no crows in South America, so she should be confused on what crows are.) • Add more stuff about her BEING an artist. • Make Carmina do at least a little bit of bad things, just to make her a little different.
"Sensitive ears" - LOCATION BASED PERK for survivors
Since the devs have deleted the scream icon for survivors, maybe you can create where survivors can see a loud noise notif whenever a fast action is created. these can help in some situations where aura reading is not available, and could help in solo queue.
The Entity
Anyone else think the Entity is Chtulu? I do. 😀
SURVIVOR DIARIES -new lore
maybe you could start creating "Survivor" diaries on how are they felt during the trials. it would be like benedict baker type, and the survivor would be more relatable than before. i would love to see a character developement whether they are happy(which i assume is feng), or frsutrated, and alike.
Do you think Rin and Sadako would get along?
Mainly after becoming Onryōs. I’ll leave it open for interpretation. I’d like to think that they would understand each other and possibly form some type of bond, possibly for the sake of better achieving their own goals. Well, trying to at least, within the Entity’s realm.
Will we ever see the "end" of the killer's and survivor's stories?
I believe that the devs confirmed that all of the killers and survivors in the game have escaped the entity, and the reason the observer is going through their memories is to find a way to escape the entity himself. If this is the case, are we ever going to see how these killers and survivors escaped the entity? I feel…
Who has the best lore?
Of all characters, who do you think has the best lore?
Halloween Seasonal Tome Disappointment
I understand the Halloween Seasonal Tome was only available to play during it's timed event. Granted, it is closed for good, it should now be a part of the Compendium in the Archives. I believe the three stories are still part of the Lore. Additionally, they are interesting to read on any occasion. My disappointment are…
What do Carmina’s crows represent in her lore
So I found some free time recently to finally start reading over the Artist’s lore, and I’m pretty confused so far. I know each killer is supposed to have some kind of fundamental emotion that compels them to bring NOED every match (The Pig and her jealousy, the Plague and her devotion, the Trickster and his terrible…
Who deserves their own tome?
Is there a potential possibility to a Survivor or Killer to switch roles?
I've always wondered if a Killer could grow a human connection (maybe legion?) and for the entity decide that they'll be more of use as a survivor.. Or a survivor getting darker and darker thoughts getting pushed into their mind by the entity to become a killer...?
if you could create a backstory for one of the pariahs, how would you write them
for those who are unaware. the pariahs where a group of five teens whom Felix and elodie where apart of. after the dissaperance of their parents, the pariahs went their separate ways trying to forget what happend. if you could, how would you write a backstory for one, if not multiple, of the remaining pariahs? what is…
Multiverse Terra Theory
So this is like half theory half guessing, but I think I've figured some things out about the characters and what "Terras" (as they call them in the lore) they come from. I've always been under the impression that most, if not all, characters came from different terras. The only real exceptions up to this point were the…
Trickster's backstory
Ok so in the back story and I think some cosmetics they go on about his "edgy new style" after his group died. How is bright fluorescent edgy? I have only heard edgy being used to describe people who dress in black, are morbidly dramatic about things etc. (I get murder could be described as edgy but... that wasn't common…

Is The Chatterer's real name "Jim?"
On the DBD wiki, the legendary Killer skin for Pinhead, Chatterer, has his real name stated to be "Jim" on his wiki page. However, I don't quite believe this is correct. The Hellraiser chapter is based on the movies, judging by quotes on Pinhead's Add-ons and Perks. Pinhead's real name on the wiki is given as "Elliot…
Sadako Rising Character Lore
For the first time since Ash vs. the Evil Dead, we have actual, in depth lore for licensed characters (although, I guess Cheryl was somewhat in depth, but it wasn't on the level of anyone from Leatherface to Ash). So here it is. Yoichi Asakawa As a child, Yoichi gained an interest in the supernatural from his father and…
Jonah and the Doctor
Do you guys think Jonah knew about Doctor? I mean, both Jonah and Doc worked for the CIA. So is it possible Jonah was aware of what Doc had done or was Doc’s involvement with the agency like super-classified?
Any clue regarding the 6th anniversary?
Hello at @MandyTalk I understand that you are behavior dev so I wanted to ask you about any clue what the 6th anniversary could be obviously you are a community manager so I am not sure you get info regarding future chapters but I wanted to ask you because I am curious you don't have to respond I am just curious
Incredibly Far Fetched Fan Theory
Dark Souls (+ Bloodborne) and DBD are set in the same universe. think about it: Whenever you die, you return to a fire, but you're still trapped in a cycle of death and loss until you no longer have the will to exist and become a husk (get sent to the void/become fully hollowed) Fog permeates the world. most weapons are…
Something I noticed about Laurie.
So, throughout this event, I have been in the process of P3-ing Laurie. (Because I think her face rework looks fantastic). And I have noticed something interesting about her. She is seemingly the only character that is self aware that she is in The Entity's realm. The description for the P3 clothing is usually just…
Zanshin tactics quote
"Within your enemy's strength is weakness." — Renjiro's Doctrine 12:5 What does this mean? I've searched this aphorism everywhere, but I found nothing. Does anyone have any idea of the meaning of this?
What do you think is the explanation behind Demo's Different cosmetics?
🤔 this may or may not be a ploy to get free cosmetics. emphasis on "may".
Why are the “Arcus” logs called that?
I know this is probably a silly and obvious answer, but why are these logs called “Arcus”? Is there some meaning behind it? Is it a name?
What Number Do You Think is Associated With The Entity?
I think it'd be neat if there was some lore magic combination of number that have significance to the entity. Sort of like 777 is lucky, 666 is bad luck, or has some religious meaning.
Whats the deal with....dads

Or having a issue or experiencing death. Below is a list of o.g killers with some of daddy problem or unfortunate event related to le dad . Trapper : father was…
