Lore Subforum
Hello, people of the Fog! As you all know, Dead by Daylight's Lore is quite versatile and mysterious. And of course we have a place for you to discuss it. Share your thoughts, theories, secrets and easter eggs (?) here. But remember - The Entity is watching. Always. artwork by Inkary

The Entity's weakness revealed and proved.
Have a seat and have fun reading because we're going deep boyos. Part 1 - The Different Realms The first part of uncovering the Entity's weakness is to understand the world the Entity has created. We know that the Entity's realm is a realm of it's own. A nighmarish construct where the trials happens. The MAIN realm where…

DBD Killer Timeline
Since I have nothing better to do, I decided to put together a timeline for when each Killer's story took place. This took, honestly not that much time, but some of it is obviously questionable. And since a lot of these stories could have taken place during a large time period, obviously some Killers are in the wrong spot,…

Every LORE related question Devs answered. (81 Questions and Some Answers) # 1.
Ok so, I've put up every interesting/revealing LORE-related question since Devstream Summary n.6 to n.100. Why? I prefer coming back to one thread than going throught the numerous devstream summaries. Enjoy reading. EDIT : Most questions were answered by Ash, Dave and Mathieu Coté. EDIT 2 : Edited format cause the font was…

Is this the Entity's Language ?? Devs ??
-anoyk yeqkany'ye hvay'k l'gnoo eydokl'x: sekall'o ammk'ix -kw'zvre'od Both of theses phrases are written on the Anniversary weapons of certain Killers. This is what they say : - anoyk yeqkany'ye hvay'k l'gnoo eydokl'x: sekall'o ammk'ix = This is a sign of the fact that this is the case. - anoyk yeqkany'ye hvay'k l'gnoo…

The First Generation: The Origins of the Lost Tapes and Neutral Perks
Quick note. Everything I'm about to say is pretty loose theory. There's no hard evidence nor confirmation to confirm this, but I still think it's an interesting idea regardless. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As of right now, there are eight survivor perks known as the "Lost Tapes" perks. Each of these perks includes a quote from…

Golden toolboxes and all related stuff about them
Hello there. I've already did this post in russian subforum. Now I decided to translate it and post here. Enjoy! I bet, almost everyone seen golden toolbox in Haddonfield. That's not really surprising fact, since its the very first golden toolbox added in game. It happened in patch 1.2.1, when second chapter - Halloween…

Character sexualities (and why they shouldn't be specified!)
(This is NOT a homophobic post. Please read before saying anything!) I think that a character's sexuality in the lore should not be specified, unless it is absolutely crucial to their lore. Can/should they mention past lovers, if it benefits their story? Yeah. For example- David. His lore partially revolves around a girl…

A Binding of Kin Character Lore
As I did with Descend Beyond and Felix and Blight, I transcribed Elodie and the Twins' lore for those who can't access the PTB. Elodie Rakoto Born into a lush Parisian household, Élodie Rakoto grew up in a comfortable home miles away from the verdant island of Madagascar, her parents’ birthplace. Her backpack was always…

Why does watching porn change effects of clowns bottles?
I feel like I dont want this answer but its bothering me.

Myers doesn't respect the Entity
I like the idea that Michael doesn't care about the Entity. You know, why should he sacrifice people if he can just kill them? When I play Myers I don't care about sacrificing, there is only one goal: kill them all with my own hands. And save my little sister :3

Why did they stop quoting killers and survivors in the journals?
I'm kinda sad that after the clown, they haven't quoted a single killer (lemme show you what I mean) ''As I journeyed through the foggy veils that demarcate the realms of this place, I saw that, for the first time, I was not alone. Something traversed these forgotten byways, its bright colors still clearly visible, even…

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?

Yui the Killer (look at new trailer for Tome IV DIVERGENCE)
So if you look at the new trailer for the next tome, you might notice the video reveals the one I dubbed 'Yui the Killer', killing an old lady while there's 6 other corpses. I want to have a discussion about it here: I believe Yui's memories in the next archives is going to be an alternative universe where she becomes a…

Ghostface easter egg
On the newly reworked Azarov's Resting Place map, if you go into the office and take a closer look at the certificate on the wall, you can see that it is signed by Danny Johnson, which is Ghostface's real name. Pretty interesting detail. It's kinda hard to read though.

4 stabs on the legion Mori, theory
Heyo, so I noticed that 4 stabs are present on the legion mori so I have a small theory: Each stab represents a legion member. First swing is a miss, reference to sussie that didn't want to kill the janitor. I suspect the second stab is Julie's because I don't think that Joe would be pushed out that easily, since the third…

Who do you consider to be The Main Character
Aside from saying your main, who do you think is the main character of this game, and don't say "The Survivors dude," i won't accept that, what i want to know is which survivor do you think is the main protagonist of this game, we already know our main Villain is The Entity along with The Killers, but who would be the main…

Survivor Relationships in the Fog
I have decided to give this thing another chance, i will go more in depth this time though, if it ends up getting deleted then i won't post it again @Mikeadatrix and @Shad03 Dwight Fairfield: The self-proclaimed leader of the group was never really a leader. Quiet frankly, he doesn't even see himself as a leader, when he…

Is Kate playing the survivor menu theme?
It's said in Kate's lore that right before she was taken she was playing a song that was out of the ordinary for her. Melancholy and dark. Which makes me think that the somewhat melancholy survivor theme played with an acoustic guitar is being played by Kate. I know it must seem like a little bit of a stretch, but it at…

Nurse Lore Cool
Just wanna say I really like the nurse lore, since a lot of people have been complaining about it but haven't seen anyone posting about how actually good it is. I love how it expanded on Nurse's old lore, which kinda felt like a campfire story to me y'know? like "guys did you hear about that spooooky asylum i heard this…

Adiris is not the real killer
She is simply a vessel for the real killer, the Plague. Adiris herself is not the killer, otherwise she would be titled 'the Priestess' or 'the Devotee'. Really, she doesn't even have a weapon, it's just a censer dangling by a chain. It's the Plague that she's host to that weakens and incapacitates the survivors to the…

The insane meta-lore this game has.
I wanted to start his discussion by saying I was inspired by a video to right this. Although I cannot link/remember the video exactly, briefly explaining it; It was about survivors winning the game with wraith looking defeated at the end gate, then they all appear back at the campfire, the fog appears and a new survivor…

Killer and Survivor Interactions with each other in the fog
@Mikeadatrix and @Detective_Jonathan both did something cool in two different Lore Discussions. I got some inspiration to do a thing of my own, as you can read in the title. Now I know the general interaction is: Killer: Come here [name here], I just wanna kill you! Survivor: No! Eat pallet! But what if there was…

Claudette Morel: How to write Neurodivergency.
disclaimer / background Before I start, I’d like to explain something. All of this information is heavily implied— which means it is not directly stated. But, to me, as a person with ASD; her lore deserves its praise. This thread is also highly mushy. If this isn’t your thing, feel free not to read. I’d like to say such…

Why do killers close lockers?
So I noticed with some animations they slam the locker in anger, with some they seem to close the locker. Like it’s out of respect to the entity keeping his realm tidy. If I’m walking around looking for survivors to butcher I think id just be ripping lockers open and walking off ya know? But these killers seem insistent on…

Theory - The entity purposefully amplified certain survivor traits.
I got a theory. That The Entity not only makes killers stronger, but the entity also amplified some character traits of survivors, almost giving them superhuman feats but to a certain extent. Why you may ask? To feed into their hope so the entity can reap the rewards. Dwight: Greatly improves allies performance even when…

Who's under Pyramid Head's Pyramid Head Confirmed! (Not Clickbait)
DWIGHT IS PYRAMID HEAD. Think about it, Bond and Deathbound have almost the same graphic except one is sPoOOkYYYYyYy. They both have two hands tied together with something. And if that wasn't enough proof, Pyramid Head is the only killer in the game that pretty much punches the locker when he closes it. Simple answer. He's…

Just A Lil Realization About Wraith...
When it's his turn to be on the Archives, we might finally get to know why the ######### he uses the Wailing Bell. The Killers' Powers usually have something to do with them themselves. I mean, Entity for example gifts Carter's Spark to Herman Carter, but it's because it knows he would use it well given his past. Wraith's lore…

Making David King Homosexual
Okay so before people get mad at "you don't need to make a character gay" When I play survivor, I only play David King, because for some reason he resonances with my heart and soul. This game has really helped me though some tough times, and David King became a part of me. I even have his rose tattooed on my neck! I know…
-
End Game lore
With the new introduction of the End Game collapse footage, it appears as if the Entity is finally getting fed up...The question is, what would've caused something like this? Survivors having too much hope, maybe even being too cocky to the point where the Entity finally got fed up? It seems odd that this is NOW happening…
-
Similarities in Killers
In all of the original Killers, they are taken by the Entity after doing something terrible. They also all have a terrible thing happen to them. The same is mostly true for licensed Killers, but I will ignore them because we do not know if they are 100% canon or not, and technically Pig and Tapp both die in the saw…

In game collectibles? (LORE)
I would love to get in game collectibles. It would be amazing to have some sort of system where you can collect things that add to player history or character history. Like 1 hidden collectible in every trial. Each killer and character has a total of 4 pieces or X amount of pieces. Once you get all the pieces you get like…

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…

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…

Killers POV
So I think I read somewhere that some killers don't see the trials how they actually are, this bacause some of them don't really want to hurt innocent people they don't know, then the entity change the things they see So what do you guys think some killers see Trapper: The miners Wraith: The soldiers or/and Azarov Nurse:…

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…

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"…

Inconsistencies between Zarina and Caleb's backstories (and how they make MORE sense)
While we wait for Chains of Hate to officially come out so I can place Caleb Quinn in the Killer Timeline, I noticed that he and Zarina are connected. The reason Zarina got caught by the Entity is because she was investigating Caleb's massacre of Hellshire Penitentiary. Except, in Zarina's lore, it's called the "Mad Mick…

2v8 Lore Issue
So I've written about the issues with 2v8 before (I'll link the post if anyone's interested) but one thing I noted was that a lot of killers are, lore-wise, not inclined to cooperate. So I'm gonna break down which killers would do well in 2v8, lore-wise. Trapper: Fine. Might not like Wraith for being a proletariat…

"Hear my voice, spare my ways, protect me from the Void"
The Black Ward description. Do Killers pray to powers other than the Entity? Who protects Killers from the Void, is it possible? What do you think?

Theory- The player IS the Entity.
I believe that the players/users of the game are actually the Entity. Before a match starts, the player is able to pick a survivor or killer to play as in The Trial, who then appears in a puff of black smoke and yellow sparks, all signs of the Entity. As The Entity is in complete and utter control of the Trials, it would…
-
Who'd be the one to sacrifice themselves so the survivors and killers could escape?
Imo, Bill would be the one to sacrifice himself to ensure that the survivors and killers would escape the nightmare that is the entity's realm. Theoretically, Bill's perks are mostly the ones revolved around his teammates and an undying will to not give up. Also if you've ever played the L4D games then you'd know that Bill…
-
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

What does the Plague say during her Mori Animation?
I was creating the Plague's page on the Portuguese DBD Wiki and was wondering what did the Plague actually say during her Mori Animation. So I gave a bit of an effort and ''figured out'' what she says. As the devs denied giving me any information, I'm not 100% convinced what I found is right. What I found is: Adda ni ka…

What if the player is the entity
What if you are the entity? As you choose who enters the Trial. And you watch the Survivors, but watch killers from their perspective...

Whoever writes lore needs a raise
Since the game was launched, each character's lore has been more detailed than the last, and always well written. The Clown's is basically a short story about the life of a man who became a killer. They're always fun to read. Whoever writes them deserves a raise.

Jake
Come on, can we all agree that Jake is the most handsome character in this game? And his voice is amazing too, I love hearing him scream

Haddonfield police car radios, possible riddle ?
If you go to Haddonfield and stand by one of the police cars, you can hear the radio talking. I've managed to get a hold on the audio of theses radios. There are 4 variations, here they are.

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

(Spoilers) I don't understand why the Artist is a killer
I love tragic characters, and Carmina's lore is a real hit for me, but I'm not quite making the leap for why she's killing people in the Entity's realm. I get that grief and guilt are her driving motivators, and the events she suffered towards the end of her lore are heavy contributors towards a total breakdown that might…
