Discussions about the Entity's realm
  • When The Casting Of Frank Stone came out, I know a lot of people were scratching their heads about the different versions of Augustine, including the after credits scene. But I think the easiest way to understand her is to view her as being like Kang the conqueror in the Marvel universe or the Reverse Flash in the dc universe. Like them, I believe every version of Augustine from every universe di

  • Our first anime chapter (no, Castlevania is not an anime, it's a game series with an anime adaptation) brings us Ken Kaneki… and that's basically the extent of my Tokyo Ghoul knowledge, so I really can't say how accurate any of his backstory is, other than the interview where they wanted to explore a what if Kaneki went completely crazy. Ken Kaneki was a gentle and kind-hearted boy who lived

  • (I don't know if this subforum or general discussion would be better to post this) I'd include pictures for better readability, but it's going to be a wall of a post even without them. Thank you to those who provided feedback in the past, and if anyone has any thoughts, feedback, or a build of your own that you'd like to share (Killer or Survivor), I'd love to hear them!

  • "In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost. Ah, how hard a thing it is to tell what a wild, and rough, and stubborn wood this was, which in my thought renews the fear" Before anyone says I'm reaching for the stars a bit , I want you to notice something in Dantes writings he talks about being a dark wood, where most of our survi

  • i loved dbd's 1v4 formula of coregameplay loop so much so that i kept it in my life for years since 2018, since i had that free trial on PSN, i always wondered about such a gamemode where you could kill with your friend, since my friend Ray loved playing survivor, and i loved playing killer because at the time in early 2018, survivor was really scary, but gettting over the fear of the environment

  • I'm sure there is already a well established reason for this, but I can't help but wonder why Lara Croft doesn't just build a makeshift weapon from some sticks, climb up a tree, then pounce down on an unsuspecting Legion walking by. Or why Ada and Leon don't use all of their knife defense skills against Michael. Why don't the survivors fight? We know they can, somewhat. They can throw a pallet

  • So I ran into an interesting theory, perhaps one that already circulated and I'm just late to the party but I still find it extremely fascinating. The Unknown has some interesting voice lines, ones that don't fully make sense and were assumed to be remnents of the people taken by the Unknown. There's an interesting idea at play that these voice lines teased the future chapters that came out aft

  • So in the Lore stream a while back they talked about how the Entity chooses the killers for its realm, it can see within one the potential for there ruthless abilities to slaughter fellow men. So I am curious as to why David King is a survivor. In his lore he is a bruiser, going out with friends to drink and get in fights (similar to Alex in A Clockwork Orange). It is shown that he is aggressive

  • So, for a long time now the ciphers provided in the 1st anniversary event back in 2017 on the marked weapons for Trapper, Wraith, Billy and Nurse all have the same cipher on them as well as on the Odd Stamp Map item addon has bugged me, as their meaning has never truly been found. Some people on here and reddit seem to think they have cracked it by putting things into google translate etc. howeve

  • BHVR, you can't just drop a PTB without any warning when I'm busy like this. Especially for our first genuinely evil Survivor and the absolute fever dream that is the Killer's story. Taurie Cain Taurie Cain was born and raised in a suburb outside Glasgow with her older brother Ewan. Unusual for Scotland, the kids were homeschooled, but by all appearances seemed perfectly average. In truth,

  • Who are the most tragic Killers and Survivors? Which stories resonate with you? Do any Killers earn your sympathy? Meg’s story is really sad, I think that much is obvious. There are so many others but I have to give an honorable mention to Gabriel. His origins are just awful. The Killers’ stories are really sorrowful too. The Spirit’s story is really really heartbreaking. Then there’s the Hill

  • I know the entity stops them but what If it didn’t, what if they could. they have the means to. Toolboxes have saws, lockers can have knifes and axes, there is wood and flaming barrels, and many maps have special things as well; blades and hammers, bricks, even Armor and chains. Some perks also have things like DS and bardic Would this affect anything too much? I know it would do nothing ag

  • Hey BHVR, can You leak original wraith lore? We know that auto heaven and junkyard is not original wraith place, swamp is. And wraiths lore was changed, we accept this, and deal with his current lore. But can we know what was his original lore? My personal idea is that Hags lore is actually Wraith lore.

  • Fed up of running away, all four survivors decide to wait in a doorway and jump the killer as a group. Which ones could they realistically beat this way, if we assume the survivors are all regular people and discount the action heroes?

  • Basically, they're from two different terras/universes. One is from base Haddie's terra while the other is from tome Haddie's terra. Base Haddie in her lore finds the secluded island where the fold used to live as well as see the residual memories of when the people of the fold killed each other and created the Dredge, which by default means that Otto Stamper also lives in Base Haddie's univers

  • I think I might know the true name of our spider God or Goddess I should say, it's Arachne from Greek mythology, supporting evidence well I got a few but there is the most obvious the charms from a few tomes back. I think there was the charm called mother of spiders. Also if you look at her story in Greek myth, she has every reason to be not so sympathetic to the survivors and hate em Basical

  • Does it want to be worshipped, or does it prefer to watch a cat-and-mouse chase? What does it really want? We know that it plays with both killers and victims as if mocking them in its endless cycle of existence, and it has its own rules. It provides a way out to those who deserve to escape and enjoys the fact that the killers it has enslaved continuously provide it with victims. Yes, it also acc

  • ever since she got her camera she became obsess with frank stone as if shes being guided. she is leading you to areas that frank stone was at or had rather then just leave or being done. which the entity is known for doing is guiding people who dont know they are being guided.

  • Many people speculate whether Huntress is a human or not. I believe that she is supernatural and not actually a human! So I have gathered all the evidence of this into one convenient post to share with other people and so I can use it in a future video! The survivor charm “Huntress Werewolf” has the flavor text that reads “A Disguise that fits her a little too well.” Was the only animal focuse

  • Hi guys, I noticed with the new Vecna chapter that the entity is using "marks of the entity" or whatever they're calling it, in order to seal away the powers of ridiculously strong killers like Vecna and Dracula. Do you guys think BHVR will have the lore-knowledge necessary to place this mark upon Dracula when he releases? In terms of feats and scaling, Dracula is just around as powerful as Vec

  • I think I might know what the Unknown might be…..What if he’s Nyarlathotep? Or at least BHVRs own take on the character… For those who dont know, Nyarlathotep (also known as the Crawling Chaos or the Faceless God from the Lovecraft Mythos) is a Outer God much like the Entity and enjoys manipulating and causing madness to humans on Earth. He’s one of the

  • As usual, new chapter means new characters which means new lore. And as usual, since it's licensed, there's not really much to show, but I'm doing it anyway. Trevor Belmont In the year 1476, fear swept the Romanian countryside. Monsters of myth and legend ruled the night. Some said they were commanded by a mysterious member of the nobility; a man who had traded his immortal soul for eternal li

  • In the lobby, we see some random survivors gathered around a campfire, as comfortable as they can be, whilst a killer ominously watches from afar. Are the survivors free to leave the campfire and wander off into the forest? From what we've learnt in the lore, The Entity's realm is big and so much more than just The Trials. We already know that the upcoming Project T game will be set in an unexplo

  • To start with, we see the entity block certain things in the trial in two different ways, the first is with claws/legs like when it blocks a gen, the second way is with spikes, like when the entity blocks a vault location. So why is it the same colored spikes can be seen when the killer tries to leave the trial area to chase the survivors as they run into the fog and eventually back to the campfi

  • Does Unknown transform into its forms by taking the skin off and wearing it? That would explain why the body shapes on the different skin would be the same type. But it wouldnt explain why the transformations dont have obvious wounds that show that the skin was torn off a body. When consuming a victim (like in the mori) does The Unknown gain the ability to transform into them? If so why do they

  • Would Alucard be a good fit for the Castlevania survivor? I've seen people say he would be too “op” but the entity could simply give him the mark of negation. With dbd starting to explore more non human survivors like Aestri why not add the iconic dhampir Alucard edit: Alucard has been confirmed as the legendary skin for Trevor Belmont !

  • Through the manic ranting I made in the PTB Suggestion about the absolute worst UI change I've ever seen, I forgot that I usually do this, though frankly I'm not sure it's worth it for single-character chapters. Especially licensed ones that seemingly don't have permission to go in depth. Even as a child, Lara was driven by an insatiable curiosity. Her father, Lord Richard Croft, an archaeologi

  • And also, where do killers go when they finish a trial? Because survivors go to a campsite with a fire, but we do not know where the killers go, or if they are together or insolated.

Talbot was hit over the head with a pipe, dumped in a corpse pit. What happens next? If he woke up in an opium den after the events with the monks, how could he continue his serum research in the fog? Can someone help me reconstruct th

  • I have some questions about Danny: 1. What was his age when he entered the realm of the Entity? 2. What are his physical features: hair color, eyes, skin? 3. Does the fact that his father told him real horror stories mean that his father was a soldier? 4. Does the fact that his father was his first victim mean that his father abused him, or did Danny only kill him because he is a psychopa

  • When this game first started Benedict Baker was the individual responsible for giving us lore and even explaining what certain parts of the Entity’s realm did. But after a certain point he stopped writing, and we started getting the Tomes. Last we know he is still alive, and while I get he was most likely used as a tool for devs to give lore. I want to look at this from an Lore perspective not a

  • This is a post to examine Sable more deeply and get away from the surface level "goth mommy" and "should have been Julian" posts. Because Sable is on her own a very interesting character albeit a confusing one the deeper you go. By her own admission Sable herself is not a goth and with the information we're given she is right, Goth as a subculture developed in the 1980s out of the United Kingdo

Knight is essentially a psychopathic warmonger, driven by pure violence that refuses any notion of peace or laws, br
