its funny to me that The Unknown's weeapon is called "Lightly Used Axe" like the Entity is dissing it's original owner for sucking ass, but it's probably a reference to The Thing
That’s kinds funny. I wish they would calm down with the voice lines though. It seems like they only do it now because they can, not because the killers or survivors should actually talk. It makes sense that Ash would talk, that’s why he was the first. He’s full of himself and never shuts up canonically. Same with trickster. But why should Salem talk? Why should all the resident evil characters talk? It’s pretty out of place
@ Yeah I agree with you on that. Their trend of making each new survivor have voicelines takes away what's special about the pre-existing ones, like Ash or even Nicolas Cage... Additionally, not all of them sound that good (Ada's voicelines for example... she sounds kinda cringy to me when speaking in the lobby)
@@fart63add on the fact Cherly should also talk as she defeated a god ash and cherly and the survivors that use magic should be the only ones to have any sort of voice lines
The one thing I think I can safely say is The Unknown isn't the actual "thing" we see on the outside. During its mori as the tentacles come out the head goes all limp, making me think the entire thing is actually just a human "flesh suit." And the actual Unknown is the tentacles and the UVX on the inside, controlling the "suit." Edit: Also I've noticed that in its design, it looks like the skin and the flesh are forced to contort. The bones are shifted away from the middle, the arms extend longer than the bones. These are all points that lead to whatever the unknown actually is, is just what's on the inside, the tentacles or whatever you want to call them.
Unknown, Dredge, and Singularity are easily the scariest killers DBD has ever had, and they were all released within one year. In terms of lore, Behavior is killing it
You know what’s interesting about these two killers, but they both share a similar sound effect that sounds of heavy tension and stress. Particularly with dredge when you stay inside a locker for too long, you start to hear a high pitch sort of menacing sound. Similarly you can hear this sort of sound with the unknown. For the unknown you hear a similar sound when you (the survivor) are near a hallucination. It plays a sort of eerie distressing sound similar to dredge’s.
There's actually an easter egg on the new map If you go to the back wall behind main, closer to the parking lot and look over the fence. You can see a garbage dump referencing your skills in this game
I still love the idea that the Player is the Entity, that because we control the characters, and see through their eyes, and even manipulate the realm and trial in the case of custom games, that we are the ones perpetuating the cycle.
So, the Unknown is just wearing that guys skin muscle and bones, and we also know the entity can keep things alive... So... What if the Entity is keeping that guy alive and he's feeling all of it
Though it does look like he is wearing Dwight's skin. Which i doubt that was the idea, It would be cool if the skins for the unknown were survivor skins...just....skinned and mangled? 🤷🏻♀️ would seem reasonable as everyone sees Dwight in him LOL
14:26 I think this one has a pretty simple explanation For the survivor side, we are their hope, their will to live, their yearning for another day For the killer side, we are they bloodlust, their desire to kill and the adrenaline in their vein after we get a hook. I think we, the player, are meant to be a part of the universe of DBD, which is kind of interesting. Means that the entity is not only feeding off the survivors of the trial, but our emotions as well.
For #12 I think HUNK is a great example of this. It's interesting since HUNK probably wouldn't be killing innocent people without the entity distorting his vision. For #16 Quentin is also a good example of a survivor who wanted to be in the realm. He did so for Nancy so that Freddy wouldn't continue to torment her so as a P100 Quentin, I had to bring this up lmao
It's the same with Wesker. Not that he wouldn't be killing, but he wouldn't want to be controlled by the entity. He'd want to experiment and harness the entity's power for himself.
Overall, I would say that All Things Wicked is a worthy follow-up to Chucky and Alan Wake. The Unknown's lore gives off creepypasta vibes and it's cool that Withered Isle is now connected to Mikaela because of Sable. I love her default look, it's like a mix between Thorn from Scooby Doo and Sh'lainn Blaze from the show Roswell Conspiracies. However, I'm not really a fan of Unknown's default because I was hoping we were getting a crawling creature on all fours. The axe weapon and power feel a bit off somehow. Still, this chapter had some of the best teasers ever. The found footage work totally reminded me of Blair Witch. I'd love to see her as a killer someday. Well done as always! ❤
Well , the real world withered isle is not connected to Mikaela or Sable in any way . In the realm, the entity created the withered isle we see in game from dredge and Elodie's memories and the Greenville Cinema from Mikaela , Sable and possibly Unknown's memories . Since everything inside the realm is the entity's creation , it just randomly decided it will place both locations in the same region within its reality.
My favorite DBD theory is the general perks from the survivor side belonged to survivors that have perished long ago, turned into totems and the general perks on the killer side belonged to killers that disobeyed the entity too many times or upset the entity so he got rid of them.
The unknown kinda reminds me of an Scp that's considered a Infohazard, basically knowing about it/thinking you know something about it causes it to be dangerous to you.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Yun-Jin in the bit about survivors entering the Realm willingly, since in my opinion it's the most blatant example alongside Sable, and also the most interesting because it almost reads like a Killer entering the Realm and kinda parallels Trickster's lore "No, she would not let him. He would pay. He would know her suffering. Suddenly, dark coils of black fog rose from the ground and she was... somewhere else. Bright lights flashed and blinded her. A spotlight found her in the darkness. Then a crowd erupted, chanting her name. "Magnus Opus! Magnus Opus!" She smiled and welcomed the darkness within." (from the wiki)
"a concept, where imagining it to begin with, is what causes it to hunt you" sounds like the definition of children fears, like the monster in the closet or the pile of clothes that turns into a person when it's dark, which would make it the "embodiment of fear of the unknown".
Imagine Carl being the trigger for the entity in every world/timeline. Maybe he was Mr. Yamaoka's boss who fired him, causing him to snap and kill his fam. Carl is everywhere.
In regards to missing characters, the most recent one is Olivia the person who was not just investigating but conducting a thesis regarding supernatural occurrences in regards to Mikaela and Sable's disappearances and how her questioning of wheter or not The Unknown would appear to get her, is what made the entity take it but it was also what motivates her to go after it into the fog presumably so she can get more material for her thesis (even if she will never be seen again) i would like if some of those character's would appear as unique cosmetics or original characters as paragraphs to compliment tomes that explore more about certain aspects (like for instance the parents of Félix and Élodie and so on). Great video as always
12:00 surprised you didn't mention Bill here too, as he's the first character I always thought of with this. Man just wanted an enemy to fight, and damn did he get one
my thoughts on the unknown is that its an Alien that took over a boys body. you can hear him constantly say help me , and asks if we wants candy like when a kids gets kidnapped . maybe he got that line from the alien that lured him out of the house with the line “do you want candy”.. my opinion please dont quote me 😅
I mean, it’s a decent theory. But I don’t think it’s true. Because the Unknown, whatever it is, doesn’t necessarily take a body, it just appears as whatever you imagine it looks like, and then it proceeds to kill you as that thing. The “Help me” and “Do you want some candy?” are it using the voices of previous victims to lure in prey. Much like how a Skinwalker calls for help to lure in prey in legends.
There's an analog horror series about "Thoughtforms," where the more you think about it, the more real it becomes, kind of thing. I watched a reaction video by a creator called Baz, if you're interested in checking it out, as I don't know the original creator. But, the Unknown reminds me a lot of those type of creatures, in that it only messes with those who know about it.
The thought of having your perks decided entirely on your own memories is pretty interesting, almost like its a personalized gamble on what the Entity finds most interesting about you
Except it kinda doesn’t make sense with Bills perk Unbreakable. Because you can’t revive yourself in the L4D games. You have to have a teammate do that.
It always feels like too many people forget that Caleb was a sadist who developed torture machines for funsies. Yes, he was discriminated against and cheated by his bosses, but he's still not the best of dudes.
My theory is that Dredge IS the Entity manifesting itself as a killer. I also think the consciousness that invaded the Singularity was the Entity as well. So the Entity would be manipulating it like a puppet.
Didn't some say the same for the Artist? All because bits of her lore apparently didn't quite add up and the whole thing of her powers involving crows, which are the kind of birds present in the Trials.
Clown smells like cheap alcohol, urine, BO, and grease paint. Hag smells like soil, sulfur, and stagnant water. Pyramid smells sharp like rust, steel sweat, and fresh blood.
What others said. The only outliers I can think of are: -Xenomorph: It doesnt really have much of a smell from what I remember. Helps its stealth. -Ji Woon: He seems like he would have all sorts of lavish fragrances on him. -The Twins: One of the addons for them is a perfume bottle Charlotte owned. 😊
Remember in Haddie's lore and the tomes surrounding her. The Entity conjured up a vampire with giant teeth to attack Haddie using a random body and fog, and Haddie used magic (Literally the boon symbol) to kill it.
The 16th one with survivors choosing to go to the realm reminds me of that guy in the first Saw video game who begged Jigsaw to be “tested” and was surprised to find out that every other victim was taken unwillingly
Im always surprised when nobody talks about Olivia in The Unknown's lore. It could have been integrated into Sable's lore, but instead, they are almost entirely separate.
Hot take, but I think The Unknown should be called The Assumption since everybody is suggesting different theories and explanations of what this killer is.
if i remember correctly someone once said something rather philosophical that the Entity is us the players, and so that would mean when the killers look at the screen at us they are looking at the entity
Personally for Carl, I have to sympathize with the guy as a former retail employee at multiple stores. As for why he'd be killed in two separate universes by two different killers - I'm making the logical assumption is Carl got a job at two separate retail employers he was applying to, basically being the Walgreens equivalent employee in the Ghost-Face Universe and the Walmart equivalent employee in the Legion Universe. I'm also saying those retail stores because I've worked for both and the cut scenes do remind of elements from when I worked at each one (neither remind me of Target through). So, this is the situation each universe has in my theory/head-canon: In the Ghost-Face universe, he likely applied and got into their version of a Walgreens as a cashier. He covered for his sick co-worker because he was the only one able to make those hours that day, which got him killed by Ghost-face. No one saw him get killed since he likely took on overnight hours that day, which was useful for Ghost-Face. And Ghost-Face just threw the money behind because it's going to come out of the manager's paycheck to get the blood cleaned up otherwise. Ghost-Face may be a murderous jerk, but I guess he's legit enough to cover for the cost of the weapons he has and probably some of the Crime-Scene Clean-Up costs there! Ghost-Face's probably heard a past manager complain about his pay getting docked over that kind of thing before, so he's just ensuring the manager talks very minimally there. It wouldn't be the first time some store, like Walgreens, has had stuff weirder than what ends up at Walmart happen there. As for the Legion universe, Walmart used to have some employees work multiple departments pre-Covid and during the early Covid-19 Pandemic (said as a previous employee for a decent amount of the Pandemic). My assumption is that universe's version of Walmart had Carl as both a stocking person and a cashier as his two main jobs. So, the Legion made a point to go to a smaller one to kill someone and got lucky that Carl was the only one there at the time. Management stayed in back and likely watched the whole thing go down rather than help Carl in the Legion universe, which is part of why the cops knew who did it.
Yesterday morning I decided to read his(unknown's) lore, history, and didn’t understand why the hell it was about a completely different person named Olivia
The funny thing for me is that The Unknown was blamed for the kidnappings of the Entity just for be captured for it too. Olivia was investigating the dissapearance of some people (Mikaela, Sable and some more) and her first suspect was The Unknown. BUT. At some point she realized that the black fog had nothing to do with The Unknown. She was actually investigating the Entity without she knowing it. Hooowever, since she had searched about The Unknown for so long, she attracted it towards her. And then the fucking Entity captured it too.
On the fact where it's the characters seemingly aware of the player, I kind of see it as them looking into the Entity, for example. Or maybe some of them are just looking around
For the number nine this could be a good idea to add new items that give affects for each type of organisms. Like how we the blight serum it could be the same but it gives us new affects or mechanics.
Idk but the unknown looks like alien in "the thing". Also a addition in the thing movie an firefighter axe used to kill an alienish creature. So its likely to be "the thing" from the movie
What if people who are taken by the entity but do not appear on the trial like mikalela's friends are in a diffrent section of the entitys realm playing there a seperate trial with diffrent killers?
Theory: the unknown is an alien that crashed and was experimented on and took over an alternate Dwight and now hunts humans as preventive defense mechanism.
Here's my hypothesis on The Unknown: I think the Unknown is kinda similar to a Boggart from the Harry Potter franchise, where it takes on the form of what you would imagine it to lool like or what you fear most. Perhaps not even conscious fear, but much deeper. I also think that the cult theory mentioned in it's lore is likely to be the most logical, as it just seems to be some sort of eldritch entity. But here's the thing; The lore is written from the perspective of someone, thus not objective, meaning it's most likely that it took that form based on the person's knowledge of it. She heard theories of it being an alien, therefore twisted skinsuit. She heard rumors of it being a government experiment, so it has the UVX ability. She heard of it being an urban legend, thus the hallucinations and ability to teleport between them. She heatd of it being a serial killer, which is why it's wielding an axe. None of the design choices fit together, but if you consider the possibility of it changing forms based on the person it's hunting and their knowledge or theory of it, it all falls into place. Edit: I forgot to mention the last part of the theory somehow, I also believe that once it manifests a physical appearance, nearby its target, it cannot demanifest/change until said target has been killed, causing their concept for it's appearance/form to vanish. Considering it was taken before having the ability to kill her, as mentioned in it's lore, it may well be stuck in it's current form until it somehow manages to escape from the Entity's realm, which is of course unlikely. Also, the fact that it mimicks voices, but poorly could be another part of the manifestation thing, as the woman had also heard of it stealing the voices of it's victims to lure in others. Repeating myself, I think everything falls into place perfectly if you think of it like this, but I am very open to discussing this in the comments under this should anybody be interested in that. And yes, I forgot the name of the woman who is the subjective speaker in the lore.
14:00 I think this chalks down to us viewing the Trials from the prespective of the Entity. Undetectable is viewed as a cut-off from a Killer's connection with the Entity, and Undetectable removes the Red Stain. I think the Red Stain symbolizes the Entity looking on through the Killer's eyes. Moreover, since we see the game from the Entity's prespective, maybe the Killers breaking the fourth wall is in reality them acknowledging the power that watches over them and guides them to kill.
10:30 no, no no, - Carl is an ancient entity, "the shop keeper" - his sole existence is being a background character in horror/action movies and (usually) dying. It has godlike powers like bilocation, teleportation, clairvoyance and mimicry. It was captured be entity and used as a tool to manipulate and capture surviors, sometimes he is a shopkeeper sometimes a barman.
ive heard that the vast majority of entity victims get "used up" like the entity can no longer feed on them, so their soul gets discarded into the void. so theres like hundreds, or thousands of survivors and killers we never see. any character we play as is supposedly going to eventually escape the realm, or otherwise get away from the trials.
My theories: The Realm was Shaped and Created with Sadistic memories and Painful Times from the killlers & survivors before they came in Killers: Some enjoy it like a hobby, And others hate it but can't get out. I do think that the Entity created the Dredge and Invited the "Thing". The unknown: It's Satan's creation for Human Torture with emotions. Because It's voice lines says Creepy things about what it's done The Witch & New Survivor could be everyone's Tickets to Escape the Realm, because they both know Magic and they both did it before they got in it The witch & Quintet Smith: They both fell into dreams, Smith is in a Enternal Nightmare Coma & The witch is having nightmares on the realm Skull merchant: She has access to the Internet in the realm, survivors could try to send a Message or something to get anyone from the real world to Find a way to the Fog. Entity: Creates hallucinations for killers to join the Fog and Survivors, The Legion got lured inside by a fake person watching them. And the new survivor got taken by Mimicking voices she heard. We'll learn more about the entity in Chucky got Lured in by chasing Andy and disappeared in the Fog ( The Casting of Frank Stone )
The creepiest thing is when you used to be able to accidently go out of bounds a few years ago. If you run all the way out of the gate, you run back to the campfire...and if you go off the map, you fall back in exactly where you spawned. Given, it's probably just a spawning idiosyncracy, but escaping just to fall right back into a trial is nightmarish
Number 19. Is even more creepy when you realise in the loading menu when you pick either survivor or killer you can see Sable look towards the killer then to you, the player.
I think the fascinating thing about Unknown is that it seems to hate to be perceived. Not only does that seem to be the cause of its victim targeting, but gazing upon it gives you the strength to overcome it as well.
My theory for the unknown is thats is fail safe for the entity. If someone that either could hurt or expose the entity to the world it sends the unknown to drag them in the realm to punish them or to keep them in its watch or sends the unknown to kill/eat the people its sent after
For 16., Bill didn’t seek out the realm but actively wants to be there. He liked the zombie apocalypse of Left 4 Dead because it gave him an enemy to fight, though is disheartened he lost everything before the outbreak of The Green Flu to the zombies. A similar situation is with The Entity’s realm. Bill is likely sad he cannot be with his allies anymore, but they’re safe now. And he still has an enemy to fight, so he’s probably content with being in the realm.
Theory Time: I think the Unknown. Is supposed to be a creature that is actually like just tentacles inside of it and it's basically an eldrick creature and the reason why it looks the way it looks is because Olivia imagined what the Unknown would look like. And that's the form it took when it got taken into the fog. But if the leaks are correct, this thing has multiple different forms. So the whole point of it is to be able to shape shift into whatever fears it is, or the idea of what is unknown and can be literally anything.
It might also be an alien ( the mori tentacles being its real form) , that was captured by the army but managed to escape . It's human ( ish ) form probably is the body of one of its victims . This would explain everything stated in the lore, except the supernatural parts and how it can manifest when someone imagines it
@Stefan-oj6oz that's why I think it could be an Alien like being and I agree, yes the tentacles is it's true form but like the Type of Alien that is so otherworldly it's basically 4th dimensional. Or like a Cathulu like creature that can get into your mind and be whateveryou imagine. Even it's powers to drop illusions of itself and manifest anywhere could be explained by this. But like I said it's just an idea.
@@KUZ3NBO maybe we will get some extra info in the next archives tome . Would love to know more about Unknown and also , to find out where Mikaela and Sable's powers originate from . Are they given to them by the entity like how Carmina had the Crows her entire life? are they reaching for other kinds of entities for help ? are they simply just manipulating the energies around them? Honestly the lore of Dbd expands much beyond what is written
@@KUZ3NBO Another thing : based on its mori , looks like the tentacles like to eat survivors from the inside , going in through the eyes / mouth . The human body of the Unknown looks exactly like that , a person that got moried by the tentacles thing , further proving the point that it just inhabits the body of a victim .
Ghostface's kill count might not be that high. Small towns are likely to capitalize on a serial killer story and run lots of articles on it. Also remember he moved between towns.
In my headcanon, Spirit sees the survivors as they are because the Entity has convinced her that they were responsible for pushing her dad over the edge
When you started talking about the killers looking at back at us I just thought that when ash talks in game when he says something like after I specifically asked not to be impaled through the chest maybe he’s talking to the killers
I love that The Unknown's lore is pretty vague on what it actually is because its literally unknown lmao. It leaves a lot up for interpretation on the reader's leading you to make your own decisions, and I think that's awesome.
The idea of Clown selling merch becomes more unsettling when you remember he uses fake names whenever he finds a new place to hunt. Who knows how many avenues he operated before the Entity took him, because his white hair could signify he's been doing this for a majority of his life.
Man Pennywise and the Entity would get along greatly. Their powers are truly similar. I can’t wait till they are able to bring his license in the game and bring the lore with it!
I like to think The Unknown is genuinely an urban legend given life through belief. It gains different powers and abilities from all of the different interpretations.
A personal theory I have about the unknown is that after discovering Mikala and taking her the entity made the unknown to distract any others from one mystery and focusing on another
The ability to pull things from memories of characters. It’s possible the Resident Evil map and characters come from Feng’s memories then, since she has a cosplay of Jill which would indicate she has played the games.
A terrifying thing to note is that alien-humqn hybrid clones were actual things being created by the weyland yutani corporation whcih can be seen in one scene in alien ressurrection. There are clones of ripley, failed ones, as their goal was to try and clone ripley with the queen chestburster and extract it from her body, which they successfully did. Kinda wished thry also incouded the newborn alien, but its cool they included grid
What I think about unknown is that he is all three. He's both an alien, an urban legend and a government experiment
I think the magic of it is we’ll never get a real answer. No answer is wrong or right
Is JRM as a killer
He's also thought to be a serial killer, hence why he uses an axe as a weapon
He's literally All Things Wicked. He's everything people ever thought he was.
@@Imghostie_ttv In the in game description of the axe, it is stated that he took it from a victim

Unknown 🤝 Dredge
Both being scary and awesome original killer designs.
Love this opinion
think they’re both from the same realm too ?
Unknown, Dredge, and Singularity are easily the scariest killers DBD has ever had, and they were all released within one year. In terms of lore, Behavior is killing it
You know what’s interesting about these two killers, but they both share a similar sound effect that sounds of heavy tension and stress.
Particularly with dredge when you stay inside a locker for too long, you start to hear a high pitch sort of menacing sound. Similarly you can hear this sort of sound with the unknown.
For the unknown you hear a similar sound when you (the survivor) are near a hallucination. It plays a sort of eerie distressing sound similar to dredge’s.
In other hand... the legion, the skull merchant, the trickster 🤡
The Unknown is simply the average dead by daylight player after 1500 hours. that’s why he kills. He’s gone insane over meg mains
Damn, Im about to hit them very doon
There's actually an easter egg on the new map
If you go to the back wall behind main, closer to the parking lot and look over the fence. You can see a garbage dump referencing your skills in this game
Didn’t see one ayyy 😝
Glad to see they referenced my survivor gameplay in this DLC!
Guess it tracks that you saw one too.
Jokes on you, I don't even play this game
The unknown really does live up to its name
Dredge is the epitomy of "Bigger on the inside".
I still love the idea that the Player is the Entity, that because we control the characters, and see through their eyes, and even manipulate the realm and trial in the case of custom games, that we are the ones perpetuating the cycle.
Not that we contoel the killers. We play the killwr as the killer but were watching as the entity.
So, the Unknown is just wearing that guys skin muscle and bones, and we also know the entity can keep things alive... So... What if the Entity is keeping that guy alive and he's feeling all of it
Unknown is wearing Dwight's skin
@@snuketime I've seen that theory before and I think it's cool but it's definitely not wearing Dwight's skin

14:26 I think this one has a pretty simple explanation
For the survivor side, we are their hope, their will to live, their yearning for another day
For the killer side, we are they bloodlust, their desire to kill and the adrenaline in their vein after we get a hook.
I think we, the player, are meant to be a part of the universe of DBD, which is kind of interesting. Means that the entity is not only feeding off the survivors of the trial, but our emotions as well.
Must be very salty and spitefull then if it feeds of our emotions too
@gio-gioarmani2268 salty survivors/killers offer the best nutrients to take care of our pet Entity.
But the player is the entity
The Entity: And The Unknown and Dredge were roommates!
Survivors: Oh, my God, they were roommates...

@@Zumbisapecadorprobably too young. It was a vine, and vine was essentially Tik Tok for old people
Nah
For #12 I think HUNK is a great example of this. It's interesting since HUNK probably wouldn't be killing innocent people without the entity distorting his vision.
For #16 Quentin is also a good example of a survivor who wanted to be in the realm. He did so for Nancy so that Freddy wouldn't continue to torment her so as a P100 Quentin, I had to bring this up lmao
It's the same with Wesker. Not that he wouldn't be killing, but he wouldn't want to be controlled by the entity. He'd want to experiment and harness the entity's power for himself.
The whole thing with the Unknown being a memetic hazard, it gives me some serious SCP vibes
●●|●●●●●|●●|● is a lot like that
Overall, I would say that All Things Wicked is a worthy follow-up to Chucky and Alan Wake. The Unknown's lore gives off creepypasta vibes and it's cool that Withered Isle is now connected to Mikaela because of Sable. I love her default look, it's like a mix between Thorn from Scooby Doo and Sh'lainn Blaze from the show Roswell Conspiracies. However, I'm not really a fan of Unknown's default because I was hoping we were getting a crawling creature on all fours. The axe weapon and power feel a bit off somehow. Still, this chapter had some of the best teasers ever. The found footage work totally reminded me of Blair Witch. I'd love to see her as a killer someday. Well done as always! ❤
Well , the real world withered isle is not connected to Mikaela or Sable in any way . In the realm, the entity created the withered isle we see in game from dredge and Elodie's memories and the Greenville Cinema from Mikaela , Sable and possibly Unknown's memories . Since everything inside the realm is the entity's creation , it just randomly decided it will place both locations in the same region within its reality.
My favorite DBD theory is the general perks from the survivor side belonged to survivors that have perished long ago, turned into totems and the general perks on the killer side belonged to killers that disobeyed the entity too many times or upset the entity so he got rid of them.
The missing character thing explains Andy a bit I guess. Chucky chased him into the fog, but he's nowhere to be found.
Why are people still wondering about this???
Andy was a Hallucination!!
Andy was a trick to lure in Chucky by the Entity. Just like Victor was to lure in Charlotte.
The creepiest part is the player base. The real horror sits infront of the monitor.
The unknown kinda reminds me of an Scp that's considered a Infohazard, basically knowing about it/thinking you know something about it causes it to be dangerous to you.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Yun-Jin in the bit about survivors entering the Realm willingly, since in my opinion it's the most blatant example alongside Sable, and also the most interesting because it almost reads like a Killer entering the Realm and kinda parallels Trickster's lore
"No, she would not let him. He would pay. He would know her suffering. Suddenly, dark coils of black fog rose from the ground and she was... somewhere else.
Bright lights flashed and blinded her. A spotlight found her in the darkness. Then a crowd erupted, chanting her name. "Magnus Opus! Magnus Opus!"
She smiled and welcomed the darkness within."
(from the wiki)
"a concept, where imagining it to begin with, is what causes it to hunt you" sounds like the definition of children fears, like the monster in the closet or the pile of clothes that turns into a person when it's dark, which would make it the "embodiment of fear of the unknown".
That is literally slenderman mytho
@@kingol4801 maybe a future dlc cosmetic, to tell the truth I could imagine slenderman moving like that. 🤔
in my opinion only based by the haircut the unknown looks like a messed up dwight
No, its really him, but without glasses

Imagine Carl being the trigger for the entity in every world/timeline. Maybe he was Mr. Yamaoka's boss who fired him, causing him to snap and kill his fam. Carl is everywhere.
In regards to missing characters, the most recent one is Olivia the person who was not just investigating but conducting a thesis regarding supernatural occurrences in regards to Mikaela and Sable's disappearances and how her questioning of wheter or not The Unknown would appear to get her, is what made the entity take it but it was also what motivates her to go after it into the fog presumably so she can get more material for her thesis (even if she will never be seen again) i would like if some of those character's would appear as unique cosmetics or original characters as paragraphs to compliment tomes that explore more about certain aspects (like for instance the parents of Félix and Élodie and so on). Great video as always
3:00 I like to think the entity is just going to pinhead or the drudge and going can I get that survivor back please
12:00 surprised you didn't mention Bill here too, as he's the first character I always thought of with this. Man just wanted an enemy to fight, and damn did he get one
That hit at 3:35 was nuts btw
my thoughts on the unknown is that its an Alien that took over a boys body. you can hear him constantly say help me , and asks if we wants candy like when a kids gets kidnapped . maybe he got that line from the alien that lured him out of the house with the line “do you want candy”..
my opinion please dont quote me 😅
I mean, it’s a decent theory. But I don’t think it’s true. Because the Unknown, whatever it is, doesn’t necessarily take a body, it just appears as whatever you imagine it looks like, and then it proceeds to kill you as that thing. The “Help me” and “Do you want some candy?” are it using the voices of previous victims to lure in prey. Much like how a Skinwalker calls for help to lure in prey in legends.
I think it's a military experiment.
Like the military kidnapped someone and experimented on them.
WE MAKIN IT OUT THE REALM WITH THIS ONE🔥🗣️🔊💯😎
There's an analog horror series about "Thoughtforms," where the more you think about it, the more real it becomes, kind of thing.
I watched a reaction video by a creator called Baz, if you're interested in checking it out, as I don't know the original creator.
But, the Unknown reminds me a lot of those type of creatures, in that it only messes with those who know about it.
we finally got the goth survivor
The thought of having your perks decided entirely on your own memories is pretty interesting, almost like its a personalized gamble on what the Entity finds most interesting about you
Except it kinda doesn’t make sense with Bills perk Unbreakable. Because you can’t revive yourself in the L4D games. You have to have a teammate do that.
It always feels like too many people forget that Caleb was a sadist who developed torture machines for funsies. Yes, he was discriminated against and cheated by his bosses, but he's still not the best of dudes.
My theory is that Dredge IS the Entity manifesting itself as a killer. I also think the consciousness that invaded the Singularity was the Entity as well. So the Entity would be manipulating it like a puppet.
Didn't some say the same for the Artist? All because bits of her lore apparently didn't quite add up and the whole thing of her powers involving crows, which are the kind of birds present in the Trials.
Idea for video: What is the smell that each killer emits?
Pretty weird but i for some reason want to know that
Probably for some if not all of them, the smell of decay and blood
@@rainbowfloppa for example bubba should smell like sweat
@@GCoimbra40 and blood
Clown smells like cheap alcohol, urine, BO, and grease paint. Hag smells like soil, sulfur, and stagnant water. Pyramid smells sharp like rust, steel sweat, and fresh blood.
What others said. The only outliers I can think of are:
-Xenomorph: It doesnt really have much of a smell from what I remember. Helps its stealth.
-Ji Woon: He seems like he would have all sorts of lavish fragrances on him.
-The Twins: One of the addons for them is a perfume bottle Charlotte owned. 😊
Maybe since the Legion looked up to many serial killers they imagined themselves as killing one of Ghostfaces victims
Remember in Haddie's lore and the tomes surrounding her. The Entity conjured up a vampire with giant teeth to attack Haddie using a random body and fog, and Haddie used magic (Literally the boon symbol) to kill it.
The 16th one with survivors choosing to go to the realm reminds me of that guy in the first Saw video game who begged Jigsaw to be “tested” and was surprised to find out that every other victim was taken unwillingly
Im always surprised when nobody talks about Olivia in The Unknown's lore. It could have been integrated into Sable's lore, but instead, they are almost entirely separate.
Hot take, but I think The Unknown should be called The Assumption since everybody is suggesting different theories and explanations of what this killer is.
14:21 The Huntress throws hatchets at the screen. She's like "I'm gonna hit one of those mf eventually."
Sable chose to come to the realm cuz she freaky like that
if i remember correctly someone once said something rather philosophical that the Entity is us the players, and so that would mean when the killers look at the screen at us they are looking at the entity
I need a to find video with just all of the dbd lore at this point, it’s so interesting
Come on man you gotta bring the vs series back . I wanna see the dredge and the unknown going at it.
I think its so cool to see how much his videos has improved over the years.
Unknown's trigger to hunt someone reminds me of SCP-2521.
Like 2521, It is an infohazard, hunting anyone that tries to define it
Personally for Carl, I have to sympathize with the guy as a former retail employee at multiple stores. As for why he'd be killed in two separate universes by two different killers - I'm making the logical assumption is Carl got a job at two separate retail employers he was applying to, basically being the Walgreens equivalent employee in the Ghost-Face Universe and the Walmart equivalent employee in the Legion Universe. I'm also saying those retail stores because I've worked for both and the cut scenes do remind of elements from when I worked at each one (neither remind me of Target through).
So, this is the situation each universe has in my theory/head-canon:
In the Ghost-Face universe, he likely applied and got into their version of a Walgreens as a cashier. He covered for his sick co-worker because he was the only one able to make those hours that day, which got him killed by Ghost-face. No one saw him get killed since he likely took on overnight hours that day, which was useful for Ghost-Face. And Ghost-Face just threw the money behind because it's going to come out of the manager's paycheck to get the blood cleaned up otherwise.
Ghost-Face may be a murderous jerk, but I guess he's legit enough to cover for the cost of the weapons he has and probably some of the Crime-Scene Clean-Up costs there! Ghost-Face's probably heard a past manager complain about his pay getting docked over that kind of thing before, so he's just ensuring the manager talks very minimally there. It wouldn't be the first time some store, like Walgreens, has had stuff weirder than what ends up at Walmart happen there.
As for the Legion universe, Walmart used to have some employees work multiple departments pre-Covid and during the early Covid-19 Pandemic (said as a previous employee for a decent amount of the Pandemic). My assumption is that universe's version of Walmart had Carl as both a stocking person and a cashier as his two main jobs. So, the Legion made a point to go to a smaller one to kill someone and got lucky that Carl was the only one there at the time.
Management stayed in back and likely watched the whole thing go down rather than help Carl in the Legion universe, which is part of why the cops knew who did it.
I still think the “Giant Spider” is Pennywise till this day❤😂
14:00 I'm starting to think we (the player) are the entity. Hence why they'd be aware of us.
Woahh like the entity picks and chooses who to be?
Like his own sandbox
2:23 what's the link to that dredge video?
The unknown is low key just a Schizophrenic with an axe
Yesterday morning I decided to read his(unknown's) lore, history, and didn’t understand why the hell it was about a completely different person named Olivia
because olivia wanted to discover who the unknown was, and since olivia was thinking that much about it, it wanted to hunt her.
@@cupidbirds Thank you, but still...
Its not the unknowns perspective to make it mroe creepy. It's less of lore and more A story
The funny thing for me is that The Unknown was blamed for the kidnappings of the Entity just for be captured for it too.
Olivia was investigating the dissapearance of some people (Mikaela, Sable and some more) and her first suspect was The Unknown. BUT. At some point she realized that the black fog had nothing to do with The Unknown. She was actually investigating the Entity without she knowing it.
Hooowever, since she had searched about The Unknown for so long, she attracted it towards her.
And then the fucking Entity captured it too.
On the fact where it's the characters seemingly aware of the player, I kind of see it as them looking into the Entity, for example. Or maybe some of them are just looking around
For the number nine this could be a good idea to add new items that give affects for each type of organisms. Like how we the blight serum it could be the same but it gives us new affects or mechanics.
My theory the entity uses blight, dredge and maby pyramid head to torture the killers if they step out of line
Idk but the unknown looks like alien in "the thing". Also a addition in the thing movie an firefighter axe used to kill an alienish creature. So its likely to be "the thing" from the movie
What if people who are taken by the entity but do not appear on the trial like mikalela's friends are in a diffrent section of the entitys realm playing there a seperate trial with diffrent killers?
Theory: the unknown is an alien that crashed and was experimented on and took over an alternate Dwight and now hunts humans as preventive defense mechanism.
Here's my hypothesis on The Unknown:
I think the Unknown is kinda similar to a Boggart from the Harry Potter franchise, where it takes on the form of what you would imagine it to lool like or what you fear most. Perhaps not even conscious fear, but much deeper.
I also think that the cult theory mentioned in it's lore is likely to be the most logical, as it just seems to be some sort of eldritch entity.
But here's the thing; The lore is written from the perspective of someone, thus not objective, meaning it's most likely that it took that form based on the person's knowledge of it.
She heard theories of it being an alien, therefore twisted skinsuit.
She heard rumors of it being a government experiment, so it has the UVX ability.
She heard of it being an urban legend, thus the hallucinations and ability to teleport between them.
She heatd of it being a serial killer, which is why it's wielding an axe.
None of the design choices fit together, but if you consider the possibility of it changing forms based on the person it's hunting and their knowledge or theory of it, it all falls into place.
Edit: I forgot to mention the last part of the theory somehow, I also believe that once it manifests a physical appearance, nearby its target, it cannot demanifest/change until said target has been killed, causing their concept for it's appearance/form to vanish.
Considering it was taken before having the ability to kill her, as mentioned in it's lore, it may well be stuck in it's current form until it somehow manages to escape from the Entity's realm, which is of course unlikely.
Also, the fact that it mimicks voices, but poorly could be another part of the manifestation thing, as the woman had also heard of it stealing the voices of it's victims to lure in others.
Repeating myself, I think everything falls into place perfectly if you think of it like this, but I am very open to discussing this in the comments under this should anybody be interested in that.
And yes, I forgot the name of the woman who is the subjective speaker in the lore.
14:00 I think this chalks down to us viewing the Trials from the prespective of the Entity. Undetectable is viewed as a cut-off from a Killer's connection with the Entity, and Undetectable removes the Red Stain. I think the Red Stain symbolizes the Entity looking on through the Killer's eyes. Moreover, since we see the game from the Entity's prespective, maybe the Killers breaking the fourth wall is in reality them acknowledging the power that watches over them and guides them to kill.
10:30 no, no no, - Carl is an ancient entity, "the shop keeper" - his sole existence is being a background character in horror/action movies and (usually) dying. It has godlike powers like bilocation, teleportation, clairvoyance and mimicry. It was captured be entity and used as a tool to manipulate and capture surviors, sometimes he is a shopkeeper sometimes a barman.
I would love to live in the realm since that’s where sable is. Worth it so much
Jane romero rear
ive heard that the vast majority of entity victims get "used up"
like the entity can no longer feed on them, so their soul gets discarded into the void. so theres like hundreds, or thousands of survivors and killers we never see.
any character we play as is supposedly going to eventually escape the realm, or otherwise get away from the trials.
not hundreds. It could be millions, billions, trillions, anything
I want Carl as a survivor and a killer that’s just a karen to go with the retail chapter
My theories:
The Realm was Shaped and Created with Sadistic memories and Painful Times from the killlers & survivors before they came in
Killers:
Some enjoy it like a hobby, And others hate it but can't get out.
I do think that the Entity created the Dredge and Invited the "Thing".
The unknown:
It's Satan's creation for Human Torture with emotions.
Because It's voice lines says Creepy things about what it's done
The Witch & New Survivor could be everyone's Tickets to Escape the Realm, because they both know Magic and they both did it before they got in it
The witch & Quintet Smith:
They both fell into dreams, Smith is in a Enternal Nightmare Coma & The witch is having nightmares on the realm
Skull merchant: She has access to the Internet in the realm, survivors could try to send a Message or something to get anyone from the real world to Find a way to the Fog.
Entity:
Creates hallucinations for killers to join the Fog and Survivors, The Legion got lured inside by a fake person watching them. And the new survivor got taken by Mimicking voices she heard.
We'll learn more about the entity in
Chucky got Lured in by chasing Andy and disappeared in the Fog ( The Casting of Frank Stone )
The creepiest thing is when you used to be able to accidently go out of bounds a few years ago. If you run all the way out of the gate, you run back to the campfire...and if you go off the map, you fall back in exactly where you spawned. Given, it's probably just a spawning idiosyncracy, but escaping just to fall right back into a trial is nightmarish
The fact that the Entity can consume other entities like Dredge and Unknown that’s pretty scary to think nothing is more powerful than the Entity.
Number 19. Is even more creepy when you realise in the loading menu when you pick either survivor or killer you can see Sable look towards the killer then to you, the player.
I think the fascinating thing about Unknown is that it seems to hate to be perceived. Not only does that seem to be the cause of its victim targeting, but gazing upon it gives you the strength to overcome it as well.
My theory for the unknown is thats is fail safe for the entity. If someone that either could hurt or expose the entity to the world it sends the unknown to drag them in the realm to punish them or to keep them in its watch or sends the unknown to kill/eat the people its sent after
Yunjin decided to go to the realm as well, at the end of her lore it’s said that she welcomed the darkness to get revenge on Jiwoon.
For 16., Bill didn’t seek out the realm but actively wants to be there. He liked the zombie apocalypse of Left 4 Dead because it gave him an enemy to fight, though is disheartened he lost everything before the outbreak of The Green Flu to the zombies. A similar situation is with The Entity’s realm. Bill is likely sad he cannot be with his allies anymore, but they’re safe now. And he still has an enemy to fight, so he’s probably content with being in the realm.
Can’t get over how cool the concept of the Unknown is just for his power to be a goo gun like what lol
Theory Time: I think the Unknown. Is supposed to be a creature that is actually like just tentacles inside of it and it's basically an eldrick creature and the reason why it looks the way it looks is because Olivia imagined what the Unknown would look like. And that's the form it took when it got taken into the fog. But if the leaks are correct, this thing has multiple different forms. So the whole point of it is to be able to shape shift into whatever fears it is, or the idea of what is unknown and can be literally anything.
Maybe a tulpa
It might also be an alien ( the mori tentacles being its real form) , that was captured by the army but managed to escape . It's human ( ish ) form probably is the body of one of its victims . This would explain everything stated in the lore, except the supernatural parts and how it can manifest when someone imagines it
@Stefan-oj6oz that's why I think it could be an Alien like being and I agree, yes the tentacles is it's true form but like the Type of Alien that is so otherworldly it's basically 4th dimensional. Or like a Cathulu like creature that can get into your mind and be whateveryou imagine. Even it's powers to drop illusions of itself and manifest anywhere could be explained by this. But like I said it's just an idea.
@@KUZ3NBO maybe we will get some extra info in the next archives tome . Would love to know more about Unknown and also , to find out where Mikaela and Sable's powers originate from . Are they given to them by the entity like how Carmina had the Crows her entire life? are they reaching for other kinds of entities for help ? are they simply just manipulating the energies around them? Honestly the lore of Dbd expands much beyond what is written
@@KUZ3NBO Another thing : based on its mori , looks like the tentacles like to eat survivors from the inside , going in through the eyes / mouth . The human body of the Unknown looks exactly like that , a person that got moried by the tentacles thing , further proving the point that it just inhabits the body of a victim .
Ghostface's kill count might not be that high. Small towns are likely to capitalize on a serial killer story and run lots of articles on it. Also remember he moved between towns.
At least the trapper got his dream of getting his hockey mask.
BRO I WAS TO BUSY WATCHING HIS GAMEPLAY SO I DIDN’T HEAR ANYTHING HE SAID
In my headcanon, Spirit sees the survivors as they are because the Entity has convinced her that they were responsible for pushing her dad over the edge
When you started talking about the killers looking at back at us I just thought that when ash talks in game when he says something like after I specifically asked not to be impaled through the chest maybe he’s talking to the killers
I love that The Unknown's lore is pretty vague on what it actually is because its literally unknown lmao. It leaves a lot up for interpretation on the reader's leading you to make your own decisions, and I think that's awesome.
chucky will also look at the player screen in the louding screen when hes holding his ghosts hand ..just figured id help
What you said about Withered Island sounds like it could make Boney Island from Total Drama and Spooky Island from Scooby Doo less scary and ominous.
Whoever imagine the guy having a grenade launcher could really do with ceasing all cooking going forwards.
Unknown looks like a kids drawing came to life
this video is now a drinking game drink everytime the word Realm comes up
The idea of Clown selling merch becomes more unsettling when you remember he uses fake names whenever he finds a new place to hunt. Who knows how many avenues he operated before the Entity took him, because his white hair could signify he's been doing this for a majority of his life.
since i noticed that the unknown seems like a scp i cant stop thinking in that
Man Pennywise and the Entity would get along greatly. Their powers are truly similar. I can’t wait till they are able to bring his license in the game and bring the lore with it!
I often pay attention to the clothes that the unknown is wearing. Sort of looks like something a 1960s accountant would wear
I like to think The Unknown is genuinely an urban legend given life through belief. It gains different powers and abilities from all of the different interpretations.
A personal theory I have about the unknown is that after discovering Mikala and taking her the entity made the unknown to distract any others from one mystery and focusing on another
Fact five made me think there should be an open world game where you explore the vastness of the Fog.
The ability to pull things from memories of characters. It’s possible the Resident Evil map and characters come from Feng’s memories then, since she has a cosplay of Jill which would indicate she has played the games.
A terrifying thing to note is that alien-humqn hybrid clones were actual things being created by the weyland yutani corporation whcih can be seen in one scene in alien ressurrection. There are clones of ripley, failed ones, as their goal was to try and clone ripley with the queen chestburster and extract it from her body, which they successfully did. Kinda wished thry also incouded the newborn alien, but its cool they included grid
I like to think the Entity allowed the Xenos to make a hive in its dimension to save some time on getting more killers
The unknow could be a tulpa
