Finally, a new chapter of my "Mysteries of the Fog" series! This time, we will talk about Vigo: A character that is super important to the lore of Dead By Daylight, but also one of the most mysterious characters ever added. He was the creator of The Hatch, as hinted by the developers during a lore stream, and he was the reason Blight became the monster he is now. Also, I am so sorry. I did clickbait with the thumbnail. The man that appears there is The Alchemist, AKA The Blight AKA Talbot Grimes. It's not Vigo, I just thought the thumbnail looked hard 🔥 On my defense, I didn't put any arrows pointing towards him so technically, I didn't specify that Blight was the man who created the hatch! 🤓
Great video! I learned a lot about the man himself, and realized how much I miss the Hallowed Blight event. I believe Vigo escaped the fog and founded the Imperriati, the only group with the strength and knowledge to battle the Entity. Full theory in the comments!
I’m pretty sure every dev does that lol they look at all the communities ideas and improvise them. They basically wait for the community to write their own story lol
I'm 50/50 on it, It either sounds like they're improving the whole thing, or it sounds like they never actually told each other how much they're ALLOWED to reveal at a time, so nobody wants to be the one to say anything which actually confirms something
@@Kelvoraax This makes the most sense to me. DBD has been around for a long time, they've had years to smooth out and cultivate good lore. But I can see how that can feel muddled with each killer they slap out. Some of them not really making sense lore wise like the knight, the knight was only added because the DBD building is right around the corner from For Honor's building and they got buddie buddie. Plus none of Knights add ons or offering really add anything to the lore or hint at anything.
@@indigenousspo0p Well for what i know the killers and the survivors are take by the entity if is call out of if takes interest in them like mikel myaers doest have relevance to the lore the knighs doesnt have to have one neither
@@jacobgonzalez9747Thats kinda how Scott did FNAF. Its not how every game does it tho, some have VERY well-planned-out stories from the beginning. I know its not a game but Harry Potter is an example i think of, JK Rowling knew generally what would happen in her 7th book before she even published the first.
I swear mintskull is in my walls, literally 20 mins ago I happened to look at the new dbd shop and notice the claudette skin "Vigo's apprentice" and think: "who tf is Vigo tho?"
The Vigo's cosmetics are pretty dope. Wish/waiting for new originals to get Vigo's. Might be unlikely because himself and the Observer are MIA (I think).
I prefer the idea that Vigo was able to escape via the void. The Entity does need to feel incredibly powerful, but if it were to be literally unbeatable it would suck the fun and excitement out of the lore since you would always know that no matter what the survivors would always lose. Vigo being able to escape also adds to my theory that survivors with some sort of power can actually survive and escape the trials. Vigo with his unnaturally high intellegence and adaptability and Alan Wake with his typewriter. These characters add a sense of plausible conflict which keeps the lore interesting.
"The journal of a man who claimed to have returned from the void" "In a wasteland of forgotten dreams and endless routine, a man with a way out is God." - According to vigo's journal addon description, Vigo himself claims to have escaped and Talbot believed him about having a way out of the realm
Three theories that are possible regarding Vigo's fate are essentially he escaped the realm via his Refined Serum but can come and go as he pleases (which I dont know why he'd do), he is somehow transformed into a killer by the Entity due to his abilty to enter the Void dubbing him "The Voidwalker" or as MintSkull states, he ends up trapped in the Void by the Entity, never to be seen or heard from again. Man its still mind boggling seeing all this interesting lore hidden behind an absolute mess of a game like DbD, and i've been playing since early 2018.
I also think Vittorio's tome has been overlooked by the community, the reason Vittorio has his tattoos might genuinely be related to Vigo as he was attacked in the fog by a group of people if I remember correctly that placed something on his skin, the tattoos are something that Vittorio is suppoaed to decypher and his tome was also related to the hatch itself!
The ultimate fate of Vigo is an interesting question, with many answers. I like to think that with his extensive knowledge of the realms, research of the Entity, and power of manifestation, he was able to free himself from the trials and escape into the real world. Obviously, he came and went before our playable survivors, but even so, we know that time works differently in the realms, so his escape likely didn't return him to his time, or the equivalent time period for all his years spent in the fog. I like to think that he was spat out into the past, armed with the knowledge of the Entity, its ways, and how to beat it. With the sightings of the Entity and its fog throughout history, as evidenced by the Greek Trials charm and the character stories, I think he convinced a handful of people of the Entity's existence and the necessity of destroying it. He told them how it had trapped people like himself in decades of torturous trials, and how he alone emerged victorious. With his notes, serum, and evidence, he educated these people and taught them how to fight back. But, as difficult as escaping the fog was, breaching it was even more difficult. So he dedicated himself and his followers to finding a way into the realms, saving those trapped inside, and destroying the Entity. They built strange weapons and occult tools, and fought back whenever they could find the Entity breaching their dimension. I believe Vigo escaped the fog, and founded the Imperriati and the Pariahs.
yeah, vigo and benedict were the pioneers of the lore since the start from the game, yet im so sad that devs only up to this date remember and only remembers Vigo via halloween skins and some addons for blight and yet they didn't even cared that after Clowns chapter release Benedict just... dissappeared. plus devs for some reason stopped doing Lore streams, probably because they shifted it onto archives. This would be an amazing thing if you will dig up some new lore entries for benedict, because this man deserves more love - he literally told us not only how basic stuff works in entity's realm like bloodweb and teachable perks, but also told us how really survivors/killers behaved in the fog.
I like how the perks of survivors that ARE NOT in the fog with us anymore like for example Hope make so much sense, technically speaking when Stranger things left the fog all the perks from that DLC became free as if they ceased to exist and everyone could learn those skills now because no one could teach them anymore... obviously this is not what happened in reality, but I like how it can be explained lorewise
My headcannon is that the hatch is opened by vigo for the last survivor, he knew the entity was onto him, and so only opens the hatch when the match is over, trying to help current survivors as much as he can.
I suspect that the longer you do not die in the realm the more powerful you become. The more powerful you become the more self aware you become of your impact upon the realm. Survive long enough and you can start to influence the realm first in small ways and later your impact upon the realm can be so great that even the entity is compelled to follow the rules you have created. Vigo in time managed to survive with a long term streak against the killers and thus started to reshape the realm to aid him. These impacts were at first not perceived by the entity but later it realized the truth so it manipulated survivors to steal from vigo and subsequently lose in the trials thus erasing the items. Eventually vigo ran out of items and had to do the trials resulting in a death that erased his memories of how to manipulate the realm. The entity then focused on putting him thru the trials while encouraging survivors to "find" the things he made so they could be destroyed. That is why the entity accepts items belonging to vigo as its eager to erase him. Sadly he probably exists in the void now having been eaten up and spat out by the entity to the point that nothing is left.
I remember that in one of the Halloween events the survivors were allowed to have a variant of the serum that is safe for whoever uses it, unlike the putrid serum (the accessory that is usable for the first aid kits) it would be interesting to know that the serum What is safe for the survivors is actually the serum that I believe Vigo, unlike the one Blight made in his laboratory It's a theory, something I thought of out of nowhere, but they had a chance to do that for the lore.
I know it's not true, but I have a head canon that the blight and Vigo is the same person but in a multiversal sense. I like to think that Vigo is rather a nickname since that would make him the only survivor without a last name, however the blight does have a last name. My theory is basically two versions of the same guy got taken into the entities realm and while one had a good ending possibly, the other became the blight and turned to the killer side. I also believe that the blight and Vigo could be the same person in a non multiversal sense, where the entity manipulated Vigo's own story and have it lead into the blights, I feel the entity could have done this to make it so survivors that read it think he escaped and gives them hope
That would make interesting first movie for DBD. The survivors up till now have had nothing, but after one survivor escapes out the hatch, the find Viggo's lab, they figure out how to create items to aid them and it ends with all four survivors escaping a match. Although they realize it's a small victory in the end, it still feels like a win
Didn't the devs say once that there was a third way to escape that nobody had discovered? If Vigo isn't around as a survivor, nor a killer, wouldn't it make sense that after he figured out how to escape the trial with the hatch, he would eventually learn how to escape the entity altogether, making a third escape of sorts?
uhhh fantastic video! Im still thinking, that theses old lore charas, Vigo, Benedickt and Talbot, but also Vittorio and the Observer now each other. I hope we will see or hear about these 5 Charas in the Movi and or in the Casting of Frank Stone Game
Currently we have Observer trying to escape through the Void in House of Arkham archives. So, perhaps, we will see a Vigo (or at least a reference to him) in these.
I will point out one thing, the devs talk about him in mostly present tense, other then him having been a survivor. Vigo is still around, just not a survivor now.
Having VIgo as a survivor would be cool, maybe give him a perk that would let him open the hatch without a key and be able to hear the hum even when it is closed.
I would love to see a video dedicated to the Benedict Baker. Hopefully more people will see this video. I just love the dbd lore. Thanks for showing it to us MintSkull!! Love ya! 😁
You should do a video on the Observer and Benedict. My head canon is that Vigo is the Observer, but id like to know what the community thinks about that. While we're talking about this, i wonder what happened to the original survivors from the general perk texts. And while we're asking that, do the survivors and killers we get already exist in the realm? Or are we just being introduced to them? So many questions.
My theory is: after a while he made an escape from the realm(being the hatch after refining it) and after he escaped the entity changed it to be part of the realm as “an alternate escape”
The entity got angry with Vigo so he trapped him in a painting and when he tried to escape to warn humanity about the entity he was trapped by a bunch of men shooting energy weapons and slime guns.
Mint skull back at it again with the most unique content in the dbd. Community, so much of dbds content is the same “looping for 5 gens” “toxic survs get stomped” it gets boring but ur content is always unique and interesting
As a lore enthusiast (especially blights lore) I’m a fan of this! Although it remains a mystery of Vigos fate his journal add on for blight hints to vigo possibly escaping as Talbot idolised vigo as a god because he had a way out of the realm (or it could just be hatch). We know that for Vigos fate it could be one of 2 things trapped in the void or he escaped
I don’t think any of these devs still work on DBD, or they’ve been promoted and moved past the game. Probably different people who don’t care as much now working on DBD, which is why it’s such a different nightmare of code
13:27 Nicholas Cage in his trailer said that imagination is a powerful weapon. That everything you know you can change it and break the fabric of reality
major plot twist imagine the entity is vigo from an alt timeline/uni and to stay alive it needs the killers to kill and also for the other version to be turned into the entity eventually
He's Vigo, the scourge of Carpathia, the sorrow of Moldavia, Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Tourcherer, Vigo the Despised, Vigo the Unholy. On the mountain of skulls, in a castle of pain, he sat on a throne of blood. What was, will be. What is, will be no more. Now is the season of Evil.
if Vigo ends up being lost to the entity and becoming a killer, it would be really cool to see the kind of abilities he would have! like imagine if he could turn into fog and phase through walls. and maybe he could have glowing orange eyes due to pustula serum, but not being deformed since his was more refined.
I'm convinced vigo and talbot are actually the same person and it was an identity he used when he interacted with other survivors. Thus how he taught claudette and various other survivors to utilize the blighted flowers before he turned into the blight
Honestly, I'd like to think that the oorignal survivors (the one who we theorize the general perks used to belong to) all escaped thanks to Vigo, which made the entity learn a bit, and therefore only allow some of their perks to be used, as well as nerfing items, buffing killers, etc.
@@ADukesJusticeit wasn’t him! If you read the article and clues in frank stone’s diary he says he has not seen Augustine in a year and she shows up happy and ready to continue the work, She then provides her own child to be sacrificed to the entity but instead it becomes frank not the baby
I think in the end Vigo probably turned into a monster. I think every time he took his serum and used it to delve into the void he lost a little of his humanity. I think this is the reason he tore out the recipe, he realized at the end that it was too dangerous to use, and took one last trip into the Void in a desperate attempt to return to his reality. If fate were particularly cruel perhaps he did, but mutated into a monster like The Dredge that the Entity ends up recapturing and using as one of its killers.
Can u make a video on how most of Hawkins lights are broken ever since they re-added the map? Previously, all hallway lights were off with the exception of those that are close to generators, the same issue is also for the computer lights around the map, and the exit gate red lights as well. I feel like no one noticed this could just be me.
Honestly I’ve always thought Vigo was apart of the entity’s trap. He gives these little tastes of hope for survivors and seemingly knows intimate details on how to warp and even flat out break the rules but also is seemingly such a goober that he didn’t realize the entity would take his tools? His journal also is seemingly so detailed on the fact he did escape but not how which seems like the exact opposite of what a journal is for? I do think there’s a way to escape the entity’s realm and even a way to pass through it freely but I don’t believe that some dude who can’t even properly describe how he does things is the one who did it. Vigo seems so much more like a red herring to distract survivors from ACTUAL ways to escape
You said at the end that Vigo could be the only person to escape, this is 100% false. Tomas a character mentioned in Tome 12 came back from the realm (and the trials) but went crazy. (You could speculate that Tomas is Vigo but this is not confirmed) So if they are 2 seperate people we know that Vigo is not the only one that escaped if he did. And we know that Talbot also once went into a part of the Entitys realm and came back.
My theory is, that Vigo created the entity, and then introduced the salty lips and hatch as a way to give survivors more of a chance. The salty lips could be from sacrificed survivors.
Can anyone tell me what music is playing around in the background at 4:25? I’m having feelings of nostalgia but I can’t remember exactly where this came from

Since the entity feeds off dying hope, I think he saw Vigo make the hatch and thought "I'll allow it."

Or imagine after the reset, it turned out that Vigo is Dwight, both have been there since Day 1
MintSkull is the Entity confirmed. I didn’t tell anyone I wanted a Vigo video, and then it happens days later.
16:51 we know of one more survivor that escaped from the Blights tomes. If that person Escaped Vigo most likely did as well

Thank you for bringing back this series! This was my favorites videos from you channel
Vigo made insta-blind flashlights and the entity took em
I feel like we won't get any information on Vigo until the end of it's lifecycle when he would probably fight with the entity in some way.
Like some sort of pvp event where everyone has to team up? Bro thatd be cool af having killers and surviors team up

I absolutely love the mysteries of the fog series, awesome video!

pls make one on baker, ive seen parts of lore from him, but id love to see a vid compiling it all
There is a lot to talk about Baker in terms of his past, but just like Vigo, we actually don't know what happened to him!
Nice Zelda soundtrack, good video !

never thought id be so interested in lore for this game, really good watch.
16:00 could be that Talbot's an addict, while Vigo isn't. You know, Green Goblin also made an unrefined super serum
Vigo is a Carpathian who was a 16th/17th century tyrant. Known as a Warlock skilled in Black Magic.
uhhh fantastic video!
Im still thinking, that theses old lore charas, Vigo, Benedickt and Talbot, but also Vittorio and the Observer now each other. I hope we will see or hear about these 5 Charas in the Movi and or in the Casting of Frank Stone Game
Great watch! Thanks for the lore summary!
Hey gotta thank him, he’s responsible for 99% of my escapes
I feel like I can watch Mint talking about dbd for hours, great video as always king ❤
you're face, to face with the man who built the hatch
Guitar noises*
I love the Forest Temple music you put on the last part of the video
Edit: and the Water Temple music
As DBD cosmology is a infinite multiverse then if Vigo found a way out of the realm, then he is not the only one.
DBD Lore will never cease to amaze me. More videos like this, please.
Currently we have Observer trying to escape through the Void in House of Arkham archives. So, perhaps, we will see a Vigo (or at least a reference to him) in these.
I will point out one thing, the devs talk about him in mostly present tense, other then him having been a survivor. Vigo is still around, just not a survivor now.
Itd be cool if they made vigo a killer with the ability to disguise as survivors like people thought legion would
Of course the “Crackhead” is the strongest in the game story wise but it’s really funny out loud
This was awesome, I really enjoyed it.
I really hope we get more Lore and Story related content in the Game. Imagine how cool a Film about Vigo and the Entity would be 😍
13:38 when nic was released he said ,,thers nothing more powerful then imgination,,
03:04 Well, ackshually, the blood moon map is the strongest one since it also reveals the auras of injured survivors. Like a Tier0.5 Empathy
Really cool video about the game's lore. Thanks for sharing this!
Games draw me in with their gameplay or cool factor, but keep me when they have interesting lore to back it all up!
He should be the dbd movie protag
Tbh I’m hoping for Benedict or Elodie, since Elodie feels like the most “main character” type of survivor
Imagine vigo is a new survivor and his perk tells him where the hatch is but exposes him and also telling the killer where he is for 10 sec
Ive played this game for years, never got into the lore until now. Thanks for the vids 🎉
I think I've played this game for years, i think I've seen this
I've played this game for years how have I never seen this?
Mmmmm deja vu
I’d love to see Vigo appear in game as a survivor who can influence the killer stuff like hooks or walls in contrast to the blight
Sick use of Twilight Realm music in the vid 😎
Having VIgo as a survivor would be cool, maybe give him a perk that would let him open the hatch without a key and be able to hear the hum even when it is closed.
the rift narrator has to be Vigo because he's sitting inside of a luxury Library and he tells us all about the entity and all of the survivors
I always found his story difficult to understand. Thanks for simplifying it.
I would love to see a video dedicated to the Benedict Baker. Hopefully more people will see this video. I just love the dbd lore. Thanks for showing it to us MintSkull!! Love ya! 😁

Man just 1 hour ago i found a long forgotten picture of my great grandfathers friend group that was taken in 1942 and now this amazinggggg
As a lore enthusiast (especially blights lore) I’m a fan of this!
Although it remains a mystery of Vigos fate his journal add on for blight hints to vigo possibly escaping as Talbot idolised vigo as a god because he had a way out of the realm (or it could just be hatch).
We know that for Vigos fate it could be one of 2 things trapped in the void or he escaped
I don’t think any of these devs still work on DBD, or they’ve been promoted and moved past the game.
Probably different people who don’t care as much now working on DBD, which is why it’s such a different nightmare of code
13:27 Nicholas Cage in his trailer said that imagination is a powerful weapon. That everything you know you can change it and break the fabric of reality
I love your videos, very well explained and entertaining! Keep going bro
I love this series! Please keep going. :)
First time viewer, long time Dbd person. Neat loredump, i've been playing since launch so it's interesting to actually know who he is.
Also, The Blight, as a survivor, legit captured killers. Bro is a maniac.
major plot twist imagine the entity is vigo from an alt timeline/uni and to stay alive it needs the killers to kill and also for the other version to be turned into the entity eventually
He's Vigo, the scourge of Carpathia, the sorrow of Moldavia, Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Tourcherer, Vigo the Despised, Vigo the Unholy.
On the mountain of skulls, in a castle of pain, he sat on a throne of blood. What was, will be. What is, will be no more. Now is the season of Evil.
if Vigo ends up being lost to the entity and becoming a killer, it would be really cool to see the kind of abilities he would have! like imagine if he could turn into fog and phase through walls. and maybe he could have glowing orange eyes due to pustula serum, but not being deformed since his was more refined.
It would be cool if we got a map with vigo’s laboratory to learn more about this lore
I always assumed Vigo was the guy in the chair over in the archives.
I'm convinced vigo and talbot are actually the same person and it was an identity he used when he interacted with other survivors. Thus how he taught claudette and various other survivors to utilize the blighted flowers before he turned into the blight
i loved the video i hop youll do more lore videos like this :D
Vigo and Benedict Baker are two OG survivors I desperately want to see added to the game.
This is just beautiful man😢
Honestly, I'd like to think that the oorignal survivors (the one who we theorize the general perks used to belong to) all escaped thanks to Vigo, which made the entity learn a bit, and therefore only allow some of their perks to be used, as well as nerfing items, buffing killers, etc.
It’s said that vigo is Augustine kid from the frank stone story. The baby that she is sacrificing! It’s her kid! Aka vigo
The baby was Jaime
@@ADukesJusticeit wasn’t him! If you read the article and clues in frank stone’s diary he says he has not seen Augustine in a year and she shows up happy and ready to continue the work,
She then provides her own child to be sacrificed to the entity but instead it becomes frank not the baby
I think in the end Vigo probably turned into a monster. I think every time he took his serum and used it to delve into the void he lost a little of his humanity. I think this is the reason he tore out the recipe, he realized at the end that it was too dangerous to use, and took one last trip into the Void in a desperate attempt to return to his reality. If fate were particularly cruel perhaps he did, but mutated into a monster like The Dredge that the Entity ends up recapturing and using as one of its killers.
Can u make a video on how most of Hawkins lights are broken ever since they re-added the map? Previously, all hallway lights were off with the exception of those that are close to generators, the same issue is also for the computer lights around the map, and the exit gate red lights as well. I feel like no one noticed this could just be me.
It took until Nick Cage for the game to have a survivor acknowledge this Vigo character other than the Blighted Lab Assistant cosmetics.
Vigo for anniversary would be amazing altogether i feel like it’ll be a licensed chapter this year
This is a very interesting story, hopefully bhvr will do more! ❤
If vigo appears in the game, then he should be a free gift for all.
Another great video 🗣️
Honestly I’ve always thought Vigo was apart of the entity’s trap. He gives these little tastes of hope for survivors and seemingly knows intimate details on how to warp and even flat out break the rules but also is seemingly such a goober that he didn’t realize the entity would take his tools? His journal also is seemingly so detailed on the fact he did escape but not how which seems like the exact opposite of what a journal is for? I do think there’s a way to escape the entity’s realm and even a way to pass through it freely but I don’t believe that some dude who can’t even properly describe how he does things is the one who did it. Vigo seems so much more like a red herring to distract survivors from ACTUAL ways to escape
Sort of related, I hope that we get more outfits of that purple variant of the putrid serum
Wow this is amazing!
You said at the end that Vigo could be the only person to escape, this is 100% false.
Tomas a character mentioned in Tome 12 came back from the realm (and the trials) but went crazy.
(You could speculate that Tomas is Vigo but this is not confirmed)
So if they are 2 seperate people we know that Vigo is not the only one that escaped if he did. And we know that Talbot also once went into a part of the Entitys realm and came back.
My theory is, that Vigo created the entity, and then introduced the salty lips and hatch as a way to give survivors more of a chance.
The salty lips could be from sacrificed survivors.
I think Vigo is the friends we made along the way
i need a benedict baker vid as only us lore people remember him as the devs have forgotten him
Can anyone tell me what music is playing around in the background at 4:25? I’m having feelings of nostalgia but I can’t remember exactly where this came from
it's minecraft bro
@@skullkurr5724lol I found out it was legend of Zelda
Was I one of the only few people who originally thought that the Blight was Vigo before it was confirmed as Talbot?
Ive wanted more lore on vigo for likr 4 years now
