Discussions about the Entity's realm

Is the Blight just a Red herring?
So this is something that I thought about in the recent days. Why would the entity allow others to work with Blight and have a Killer who is essentially full of the stuff if it’s his or her weakness? Because I believe this is just another way to give the survivors false hope and feed off that hope until they get the…
Survivors died countless times. How do they not stop being afraid?
I don't really know about the entity's realm but i see this realm as life after death, the life beyond. In real life i believe in life after death and also believe that in that place there is really no time. anything can happen forever there. If the entity is a parallel universe similar to this, and the survivors are there…
What Do Killers Do After Their Last Hook?
I'm curious to know what everyone thinks is the canonical response to getting that hook on the last survivor. Do they just walk away? Do they just stand there and stare at the survivor? I'd like to hear your thoughts. ^^
Gameplay aside, why can't killers kick gens after they've been repaired?
Why would the same techinique for breaking damaged machinery not work on repaired machinery?
Pyramid Blight
So then... it means Talbot managed to subdue and capture Pyramid head. well ill be damned, got to give him credit for taking on Pyramid head and experimenting on him.
Where is Mikaela from?
As above. Is it revealed in the PTB?
If the killers escaped.
Let’s say all the killers currently in the entity’s realm. Escape. What would they do? Would they just shrug it off as a dream is something? Or go back to killing.
Entity & Yearly Blight Purge
So, now that The Blight is in the realm as a Killer, and it's been said that blighted events have ended, has there been a Lore explanation for why the events no longer happen? Where does the entity stand with its yearly purge? Has its biology changed, and the purge is no longer needed? The Blight himself could not have…
How old is the trickster supposed to be?
First off, he looks nothing like himself in neither the anime style animations nor the cutscene, so I'm genuinely confused. In the former he looks like a 19yo twink, and in the latter he has the neck of a seasoned boxer and the face of a 35yo cartel boss. Second, I feel like he doesn't even look like he did in his own…
Why does Nemesis hunt the other survivors?
From what I remember, Nemesis was programmed by Umbrella to locate and kill S.T.A.R.S members. Canonically speaking, Nemesis hunting the other survivors doesn't make sense (then again what does in this game). Is there a chance the Entity commanded him to hunt them as well?
Has The Entity stopped having Blights?
According to recent leaks, there will not be a Blight-focused event for Halloween this year. Instead, there will be a pumpkin-focused event. In the Hallowed Blight lore, the Blights are a yearly purge The Entity undergoes. With the introduction of a different event this year, does this mean The Entity no longer needs to…
Moved: You know what's up. Refund?

If you could choose any archives entry to be rewritten which one would it be?
Pretty much the title, my top pics would be: 1- the memory wipe 2- the multiverse 3- Nurse's tome 4- Legion's tome.
Tome 9 - Crescendo, who's excited? : D
The new tome releasing in 1 week appears to be about trickster and yun-jin, aka the all kill chapter. What do you think it'll be about? Are you excited for it?
The Trapper's Lore (From His POV)
I took Evan's base lore and made it into a first person monologue. Let me know what you think!
Mikaela Ried related to the Hag?
The Hag introduced Hex Totems. Mikaela introduces Boone Totems. Mikaela looks Creole and like she from Lousiana... where Lisa Sherwood was abducted and transmogrified into the Hag.
Clown's rift skin scarring/burns?
Any one else question this? I don't remember if it's mentioned in the lore but these look like serious scarring/chemical burns to me, and they aren't present on his main skin. My theory is that in his struggle with the moustache guy, he managed to fight back against Clown and threw some of his own chemicals at him, burning…
Is Deathslinger a cannibal?
His default outfit looks pretty normal, but his p3 has blood everywhere, on his hair, on his hat, on his face, and even on his teeth somehow. Is that blood from eating corpses or something else?
A third secret way of escaping the trial????????
At 1:50 in the video, he mentions how the devs said that there is a third way of escaping the trial, but has never been found since now! When I heard this, I was shocked! In any of the lore videos I have ever heard of this! (And it is not Dcing, of course) Does anyone have any theory, any possible path? Could maybe this…
Mikaela broke the Entity's own rules
The Entity exclusively uses dark magic and no Survivor in the game has been shown to have any supernatural powers while in the Entity's realm (except Cheryl, but she's just channeling the Entity). My theory is that the Entity is well aware of light magic and has intentionally kept any source of it out of its realm. Part of…
Julian confirmed to be an upcoming survivor?
read michaelas lore, theres someone named julian who dissaperred in it.
Pinhead and the Entity.
I don't quite understand Pinhead's story, does he really know that he is trapped in the entity realm? Even though the cube is there, does he have enough power to leave the entity's realm or go back to hell? Does he know that he is serving the entity instead of Leviathan? or does the entity have a hard time controlling…
A question about pinhead.
I’ve heard people calling him a BDSM demon. And I’m getting mixed ideas on if that’s a serious description of pinhead himself or if it’s just a joke. Obviously, he’s sadistic but some of his addons imply he’s also a masochist and on top of that the one green addon I can’t remember the name of says the cenobites made the…
Blighted Skin Tags
Does anyone have a full list of all the tags for blighted cosmetics for all the killers? Alchemical symbols, numbers, location, maybe even a picture?
Lisa Sherwood
As naive as it may sounds, I was genuinely hoping this latest Witch Survivor was the human version of the Hag, or at least connected to her in someway. I was hoping for this because I thought perhaps the Hag's lore would be revised. I love DBD's lore. Especially, the original survivors and killers stuff. But Lisa's story…
Who would win in a fight? Demo or Michael
What killer has the saddest backstory?
Memory 1751?
I read Blight lore "The Hunger" and "Doors Unknown" and memory 1751 is not there since "The Hunger" ends in memory 1750 and "Doors Unknown" start from memory 1752. Is memory 1751 completely skipped or the video at the end of "The Hunger" is truly the memory 1751? It really bothers me anyway...
Is the nurse dead?
I didn't see any mention of her dying in her lore but the way she appears and her behavior she seems more like a spirit than a living killer.
What is the entities favorite color?
There have been no clues I could find.
Hour of the Witch Character Lore
It's been a while since I could do this (Resident Evil had no lore on PTB and Hellraiser wasn't enough to be worth doing), but here's the lore for Mikaela Reid. Mikaela Reid was sixteen when her father passed away. She would always miss his sailing lessons at dawn, his colorful yet inedible tacos, and his warm, contagious…
Which is more powerful Mind Flayer or The Entity
Thoughts?
STRANGER THINGS: Sojourn
Steve marks another tally on a wall already full of tallies. Eight-hundred and eight. That's how many days he and his (ex) girlfriend Nancy had been trapped in the nightmare. He writes out the number and chuckles at it seemingly spelling out BOB. He shakes his head, remembering what they had to endure for each one. He…
How well do you think Ceno and PH would get along?
thoughts?
Why are there crows?
Why are there crows in DBD. Like I know why crows are in the game mechanically wise, I understand that. I'm just confused for lore reasons, why are there crows in the entity's realm? Idk its 4AM and I had too much to drink but this has been bothering me for a week now xD Does the entity just grab a bunch of crows after it…
Stranger Things from a lore perspective...
With the cancellation of the chapter, are we to assume that Nancy and Steve are the first to ever escape the Entity’s realm? Or have they had their Hope drained to the point that the Entity no longer has any use for them? Or is it just business as usual since people will still be able to use the characters, albeit no new…

Why is bill's perk called "left behind"
It makes him sound like he was abandoned, he wasn't left behind, he sacrificed himself for this mates in L4D
Storytime
We all know and Love DBD but we also hate other players nothing new. But what we all want is to know even more about the Lore the Story and The background of everyone. We need a Singleplayer option with the bots they implemented for Tutorials. A storymode even coop playable. Even more Gamemodes are needed cuz its everytime…
DBD movies and web series
With all the lore in the game, why hasnt Behavior created horror movies that go into detail about the lore and origins of the killers in the game, and a web series that follows the survivors and their trials and also gives insight into their lore and origins? It just seems extremely long over due, and I am sure the…
Pyramid Head and The Entity.
so i was doing dbd talk with my friend, and he mentioned that pyramid head is possibly powerful enough to actually kill the entity. and i wasnt sure but i also didnt know if it was true since he knows alot about silent hill, where as i only know the characters (kind of). so i want to ask is it possible for pyramid head to…
Death is not an escape. What if
What if this has another meaning. When we see this we think about survivors and maybe killer dying in entity's realm but not escaping from this. BUT what if it's not the case, what if death of the entity is not an escape for people trapped in his realm? I was thinking about this some time. That means that there's no happy…
Newspapers in Autohaven
Anyone know if the headlines or photos of the newspapers hanging on the school bus in Autohaven Wreckyard are part of the in game lore?
Survivors escaping the entity
I was thinking about it and when you mori a survivor as pinhead, you dont kill them. Instead you send them through a portal which presumably leads to the labyrinth (hell). If this is the case, then wouldnt pinhead be saving the survivors and giving them their escape? Yeah they're going to be tortured and killed or turned…
Isn't it kind of funny that blight never chooses to instakill people?
I know it's: A: good game design he can't. and B: lorewise, the entity wouldn't approve. just, looking at his mori, if he can jab someone with an autoinjector needle filled with substances immediately lethal to humans, that's pretty valuable as a killer.
About Jakes lore from the rift
There are some spoilers here so you if you haven't finished the rift yet for Jake but here we go. So are we getting Jakes grandfather as a new survivor? It sounds like it was implied that his grandad was taken by the entity when he was saving villages, it would tie in real nice with the leak that we were getting a new…
Meg being in the Resident Evil trailer makes no sense.
Why is meg in the trailer where Jill and Leon have guns? Wouldn't that mean they are in a trial where guns are not allowed?
The entity is losing its grip
After seeing Pinhead confirmed my mind instantly wandered to comparing Pyramid Head and Pinhead. Two entities that seemingly exist and follow their own volition despite being in the entities realm. Pyramid Head existence is still a bit of a mystery since he technically has no reason to exist being he was a projection of…
Pinhead's dbd lore is confusing
I understand the devs change the lore around to fit the game, but if you think about how his powers translate from the game to his dbd it gets confusing. From his dbd lore: "A demon to some, an angel to others. Pinhead is an explorer in the further regions of experience, indulging in the limitless thrill of pleasure and…
The True Identity of the Entity
I am gonna put this thought under #halfawakethoughts but I think I figured out who the "Entity" actually is in theory. And the answer is simple. We, the player, are the entity. When we are playing as a survivor we are playing in third person. Now lets see this from another perspective. We aren't actually "Playing" the…
