Which Killers Could Actually Defeat the Entity? (Dead by Daylight) 

This is a bit of a joke answer, but I have to mention it now. With Eddie from Iron Maiden being canonized into the world of Dead by Daylight, literally anything is possible now since Eddie is capable of doing anything, ranging from conquering the world, to defeating Satan, to traveling any time period desired, etc. If anyone were to overpower and defeat the Entity, it'd be Eddie himself. And to quote the band regarding Eddie's relevance in stories, he's there for whatever role you want him to have and fulfill. So he's my go-to joke answer to the very idea of the Entity having a downfall.

Nicolas Cage could kill the entity

Two things about Sadako: firstly, her being in the well is pretty much confirmed due to Yoichis lore, since Yoichis lore can't happen without Sadako not only being in the well, but also being aware of it as well. So still don't know where the "she doesn't know that she's still in the well" thing came from. Secondly, her power is to kill you by wanting you to die, which is seperate from the curse. She had that power already when she was alive long before the curse was ever a thing and even when the curse was created, Sadako had a tendency to lash out against other entities that got in her way, without them being cursed. She is not as bound by the curse as people think and can actually even let you go when you're cursed, like she did with Yoichi. The big thing to consider is that Sadako created the curse and its rules herself, tailoring it after a urban legend that she knew when she was alive. I could explain why she uses the curse if she doesn't really have to, but that would take too long. Now about the question if Sadako could kill the entity: it depends. If the entity can die, then Sadako could kill it, BUT if the entity counts as being immortal, Sadako would not be able to just insta kill it.

Honestly? I think the real answer to "Could they overpower the entity" is "If the killers put aside their differences, you had the likes of Wesker, Talbot, Freddy, Cenobite, Pyramid Heal, Skull Merchant, all of the best and brightest and most powerfull killers, teaming up to try and overthrow it with a master pllan that takes into account everything learned from either side... Maybe?" But good luck getting that calvalcade of sociopaths to work together long enough to DO it. You think an asshole like Freddy is going to listen to a scentist like Talbot? You think the Onryo is going to put aside their rage if Wesker says it'd be more adventagous to bide their time? You think Pyramid Head or Xenomorph even CARE? Hell no. They will never work together, so they will never win.

The three possible weaknesses you have are probably the exact sequence of events that need to happen for the Entity to be defeated. Infecting or slowing it down would be the first stage, innumerable people and worlds will have to be perfectly coordinated to distract it/create an opening, and then the characters we have in-game discover the heart of it's existence and go for it. The RE characters and Ash handle any monsters, the supernatural survivors handle the Entity's mindgames, and whoever is left lands the killing blow. Damn, that would be one hell of a movie lol. I just hope everyone will get the chance to say goodbye. They found love in a loveless place and I can't think of a better ending for such a grim game. That there is a daylight to be found. ❤

For survivors I’d like to mention reality warpers like Alan Wake or Nicolas Cage. I think they stand the most chance at defeating the entity.

The mind flayer just wants it's dog back

Maybe the Entity works with Freddy's rules: once you get it into our own realm, it theoretically should be killed. Inside its realm, there's no shot.

Ash can also be a huge threat to the Entity… He is the savior of humanity and therefore has basically infinite plot amor. If you know Evil Dead lore then you know what im talking about.

I want to see the entity get into an all out turf war with another eldritch entity

I think Alan Wake is the one with the biggest chance of defeating the entity

If the entity was overpowered by the survivors and killers the entity could easily quickly influence a stronger being from another universe to kill them. Scary

Observer is an interesting case with him sitting at his tower and seemingly being out of reach for the Entity, his tower is like the only safe heaven free from its claws. Even if he can't beat the Entity he can hide from it.

What about the lack of feeding it with the very sustenance it needs? The cenobites kidnaping characters and taking them away from the entity would make her hungry and maybe weak for the lack of emotions. The shape is described as being empty and devoid of emotion in some of the movies...so, it makes him alone something that its impervious to her powers. Idk man, i dont even play this game

With the way I feel the devs sort of feed into the entity paralleling the real life state of the game, through trying to tie events into actual events happening in the entity's realm, I feel the only way the entity can die is if survivors and killers stop participating in trials. Just like if nobody plays the game, if dbd dies, thats the case where killers refuse to kill for the entity, survivors escape trials to find safe places in the entity, it doesn't get fed any emotion and dies.

Possible Theory: The Entity is an aspect of Nyarlathotep from Lovecraft's stories.

With the mention of Pyramid Head and how he works with altering the Trial's rules, I'm a little disappointed with a lack of a mention of Myers. While Myers may seem like just a guy with a knife, the Entity seems to have less control over Myers than almost any other killer. Myers does what he wants and it just so happens what he wants is to kill. Being able to Mori on Evil Within 3, denying The Entity her hooks, is a very blatant example of a killer somehow being able to circumvent the rules of the trial with just their own power.

Alan wake is also worth mentioning due to the dark presence being similar to the entity in ways

i think that leviathan and the the mindflayer just dont mess with the entity because they dont have a reason to , and since the demogorgon and cenobite just keep doing what their are mean to they just allow it , also he say that the mindflayer is being rejected by humanity and the entity is not but that is just because the entity is more in the shadows since he show that he doesnt want people to know and fight back , also since piramid head work with the guilt of ther victim he could be stronger to the entity but if the entity dont have emocions like humans he wont attack it

You forgot to mention Sadako's novel version of the curse is essentially supernatural smallpox, so she could be grouped into the virus camp with Wesker, Birkin, Blight and Hux to form a super virus with the Serum, Plague's Virus, and her Supernatural Smallpox. also the fact that Psychic powers are a clear weakness of the entity, as it avoids or is uber cautious around realities and beings where the masses know they can alter reality with their thoughts, as it is made of manifested Emotion. which brings us to Pyramid Head and Cheryl, Pyramid Head is not a being capable of forming deals as i've ranted about before, so his DBD lore makes no sense, unless you take it as the Entity THINKS it made a deal with the Executioner, and Phead continues it's duties against all guilty parties in the realm, and as the Entity is made of emotion and Pyramid head is manifested guilt and punishment for the guilty, if all other guilt is purged of the realm through death or forgiveness, until the entity is purged of it's guilt, which i think is impossible as it's made of emotions like guilt, Pyramid Head would keep returning and slowly hack away at it. he also isn't "Created" by James, though that was the original intention, he is a being that takes on the form of the Executioner because of James, but obviously exists outside of him, as the painting in the Silent Hill Historical Society makes no sense if he doesn't exist outside of James to some degree. also Cheryl being Alessa, a powerful Psychic herself with some of the power of the God of the Order, and the God of the Order itself, who should also be listed among the entities such as Leviathan and the Mind Flayer, though she needs a physical form that is weak at first to enter our reality, her incorporeal form is powerful enough to wipe out the reality it inhabits, and would do so if she was manifested into a corporeal form fully, even her form in SH3 is Dredge Levels of power and Dredge is what is assumed to be a baby of whatever species the Entity is.

wesker solos entity no diff, that mans tentacle can crush her tbh

Two crossover characters you missed that may be able to do something are Ash Williams and Alan Wake. The former just because he's Ash, he's already overcome impossible odds, and I believe there was mention of him being the chosen one in his continuity giving him a luck boost in exactly these sorts of scenerios. In the latter's case, fighting the Entity isn't all that different from fighting the Dark Presence for Alan. So long as he can reach the typewriter from his games he can simply write a novel that leads to the Entity's defeat and the frees everyone, maybe with an Object of Power similar to the Clicker, with the caveat that it has to be a story that could believably happen without any plotholes...and also Alan would have to get over himself and accept a successful ending instead of doing like he did on his own games and spend 13 years trying to write the perfect outcome for himself. It could be argued that plotholes wouldn't be terrible since the Dark Presence can worm its way into a story that way, but in DbD's case the Entity may take its place. Now that I think of it, the Dark Presence may be another entity that could fight the Entity like the Mind Flayer or Leviathan. It doesn't have a direct connection to any killer, but if Alan acted prior it's possible the Dark Presence may try to free Alan if only so it can corrupt him itself. We already know it doesn't play well with other eldritch entities after what happened when it interacted with the Hiss from Control. Do I think it would win? Probably not. But still worth mentioning.

I think you should've at least mentioned Vigo. He managed to modify the realm by himself (for example creating hatch) and probably escaped the realm. If he worked with blight and wesker, they could probably poison the entity in some way

The entity would destroy everyone except for blight, and maybe the mindflare with demo.

I think Alan Wake should be here tbh, he’s an actual demigod who can alter the plot with his writings. Even in his lore he was right next to escape, only staying because he wasn’t 100% sure what was on the other side of the veil

If the survivors tbag and click their flashies enough, the entity will start to get upset and rage quit, letting the survivors win and escape.

Easiest method would be sending the knight to tell 3 multiverses about the entity at the same time

Really good and interesting video but i'm genuinely surprised you didn't mention Alan Wake who is imo the strongest contender we have as of now of someone who could not only escape but also defeat the entity

The unknown is actually on equal terms with the entity so it stands the best chance possible and has more motive to go against it. In the backstory unknown is described as gaining power through fear similar to the entity and was so effective at it that it was even confused for the entity, which is actually the exact reason the entity yoinked it from existence. So if the unknown was given the chance and enough time to cause mass hysteria, then the unknown would over power the entity very easily since it's like some eldritch being that doesn't even have a real physical form like the entity.

I remember in previous videos that the entity doesn't like Michael Myers because he can do whatever he wants, and was shocked he wasn't mentioned in this video

14:03 at this point, I was watching the gameplay instead of listening and that whole segment made me laugh

Honestly, I think trying to defeat the entity from inside its own realm would be nigh-impossible, kind of like trying to beat Freddy Krueger from within the dreamworld. It's pretty much an impossible task, so a good solution would probably be to find a way to confront the entity outside of its realm somehow. Much easier said than done, and also likely impossible, but compared to trying to beat it inside of the realm, it's probably more likely to work?

Ash is destined to destroy all evil so somehow probably sloppy he could do it

Im glad onryo was mentioned here because its a known fact her telekinetic abilities are through the roof. Theres no surviving against the onryo once you watch that tape and if the entity sonehow watched it its done period the best you can do is stave it off like the original movie but that lasts for only so long as seen at the very end of the movie. but even without watching the tape onryo is capable of just killing the survivors instantly and if put against the ofher killers shes definitely towards the top in terms of power not to mention she literaly cant be killed because shes already dead

That wesker gameplay against that nancy at the start was CLEAN

5:38 vecna:hold my beer

I think the problem is that there's a lot of "ifs" with the Entity and its power. Especially when it's highly possible that characters like Dredge and Unknown were simply made by it. The with the likes of Leviathan and Mind Flayer, it's highly possible that the Entity simply killed the two when taking the Demogorgan and Lament Configuration. That way it'd have zero challenge to its point of power.

Pirámide Cabeza is also connected to the powers behind Silent Hill and Samael, thats another threat. Also Michael Myers is in a way an idea itself, rhe idea of evil.

Thanks!

The leviathan probably could defeat the entity, I mean he existed before creation so there’s that. As for Freddy, he’s probably working with and playing the entity at the moment

I think Freddy is a good example that there are characters that are at least similar in power because as you've pointed out in an older video, the Entity specifically picked the New Freddy over the older one because the new one is significantly weaker

3:53 I think that the reason why hux was outsmarted was because he was something more than ai, he was concious. He had emotions and hasnt had them for long prior to joining the trials, so he didnt understand them or know what to do with them. Thats just my take on it.

Sadako is the most powerful character in the game, potentially could weaken it to the pooint of victory

I agree that nobody could beat the Entity, besides ONE. Sadako Yamamura. There’s multiple abilities that would give the Entity a hard time, but the most impactful one would be her access to the Demonic Abyss, a void so potent it surpasses everything, even infinity itself. We haven’t seen the Entity be able to handle anything on the level of the Demonic Abyss, and Sadako can wield that. I’d say Sadako wins, but would very much struggle.

Birkin is a mindless mutant whose mind is taken over by his parasite

4:03 For a second thought you were gonna finish that sentence with the word crew

The thing about Wesker is that he was infected with the Progenitor virus, which can infect all life forms (plants, animals, fungi, everything). To do that, it would likely have to be older than all complex life. If the Entity is biological, Progenitor could likely be used against it.

It’d be nice for the last update they give this game an event where the survivors and killers work together to take down the entity as a nice little LTM

And now we have Vecna, who is actively looking for a way to take the entity's power for himself. Not that that outcome would be better than what is already happening

I genuinely think that alan wake can defeat the entity if given enough time to write the proper story

The idea of Mikaela joining the ultimate fight of all the killers against The Entity and just lighting a Boon or something is so fun to me

You know, the Idea of other entities that are similar to THE Entity, but different in certain ways is a nice thought. My favorite idea gor it is one of them got a taste for good feelings. What I mean by this is a entity that feeds from happiness, content-ness, and other similar feelings. Imagine it just setting up a giant party,. stealing people, but making their life the best it can be while there. Probably, before possibly being killed by THE entity, it took versions of the killers and survivors and just made them work through their issues and made them better. Perhaps when this entity was toppled, these survivors and killers were brought to THE entity's own realm as skins. Food for thought.

I would argue that the strongest entity in the realms that we know of, other than The Entity, is Pinhead. While his lore suggests that Pinhead kinda snuck in with the box and the entity can’t make him leave, The Entity is also able to force Pinhead to play by its rules while in the realms.

I have been enjoying your lore videos so here its my suggestion for a new one. Wich characters from fiction would first detect the entity and be able to defeat it? Since the entity reaches for the infinite multiverse its feasible they encounter any character, who do you choose to deal with it? For me Dr Strange from Marvel and Constantine from DC. Strange´s job its to deal with Lovecraftian nightmares from outside the normal universe so its a pretty solid choice. Constantine would also work but it would be harder and probably would need to trick the entity somehow, he would probably end up in the realm as a survivor first on purpose to study it but he would manage, this its the man that tricked the devil into drinking holy water.

So many people underestimating pyramid head. While old triangle man himself probably couldn't, his links to the spirit of Silent Hill most likely could, considering Silent Hill and the Entity both have extremely similar powers, but Silent Hill having the advantage of being able to create it's own killers. The real problem comes with, they would probably never fight to begin with. They are a bit too similar and therefore would probably choose to aid each other first

Killers vs entity be like: ,,Come 1v1 cowshed"

wooow I had no clue a lot of the survivors family's met each other. That's really cool

I think maybe, but just maybe, The Shape could harm the entity in some way, he can break the rules of a trial with his addons, have a unknown force that makes him unstopptable and he basically has no emotion, and we know that the Entity grows stronger if it feeds itself with general emotions. But it's just a thought tho, if Shape had a better weapon - mostly a blighted blade - it could hurt the Entity in some way.

" Cavalcade of sociopaths" I really love that verbage Mr Kyle..if we are thinking that the memory of each killer gets wiped each time also..in my mind if they feel like they are making fresh kills vs the same survivors over and over again..I feel they maybe would not care...at first... Now if any of the killers kinda understand the game, and that they are a pawn... Forced to kill over and over again.. I can see animosity starting to build.. What do y'all think the tipping point would be for a killer wanting to fight the entity?

If the entity was in a physical form Michael would give a good fight as he is powered by sheer fucking spite and will tank the battle

Remember be careful with anything electric as they could be harmful and or lethal to you and or other people and or start a fire along with causing other things. Remember be careful and stay safe.

we need a full live action lore film

14:56 true autodidact value

Shaggy solos ngl, just 0.00000001% of his power is enough to send it to the shadow realm

Man's called autodidact in one of the clips but isn't even using it. I feel robbed

Chucky has connections with Damballa which is an actual god… I think. If the minelayer, Damballa, and leviathan team up maybe they can take on the entity.

At 9:27, there is a Dredge cutscene. Does anyone know what tome this is from? I can't find it anywhere 😂. Thank you 😊🙏

The Entity never sleeps!! “The Entity has awoken…”

no joke chucky I feel like has a chance since he has damballa on his side I don’t know that much about alan wake but lots of people are mentioning him but there is a character that could kill the entity and that is ash he has GOD on his side and god solos the entity

Honestly i fo think the best Charakter who could defeat the entity is the Dredge during being an ancient god himself and Being inside the realm to grow at mass and power from trial to trial could ultimately some day take over the entity and maybe extend it self in return it in way that the dredge take over the entity like it does already in a weaker form in his nightfall.

i think ash Williams in the realm already sealed the entity's fate. Ash overcomes any evil that comes his way. Whether intentional or not. He is a void that sucks away logic. He cannot lose until evil is gone.

If Pennywise comes to DBD, IT would easily take over/destroy the Entity as IT is a Deity from Space! Also, people who say "It WaS KiLlEd By BeInG bUlLiEd bY kIdS!" No, that's where you're wrong. IT is still alive! Proof of this is in one of Stephen King's other movie's scenes where it says "Pennywise Lives!" on a board and IT also makes a minor appearance in The Tommyknockers (Which is set after IT.) The Tommyknockers quote: "Their heads began to ache, Tommy’s worse than Hester’s. By the time they had gotten half a dozen Allstate batteries at the Sears store and well over a hundred C, D, and double- and triple-A cells at the Derry Tru-Value Hardware (which had just gotten a new shipment in), they both knew they had to get back . . . quick. Tommy had begun to hallucinate; as he drove up Wentworth Street, he thought he saw a clown grinning up at him from an open sewer manhole-a clown with shiny silver dollars for eyes and a clenched white glove filled with balloons." Pennywise can not be killed, only weakened, which IT then comes back. The Entity wouldn't stand a chance lol!

Imagine for a second. You could be the entity in DbD… they change the game from a first person killer perspective to an all seeing eye over the entire map.

secretly the entity is the good guy of dbd, but hes just misunderstood since he manipulates people to become killers. The entities real goal is to actually make all these universes aware of the dangers that lurk in the corners and just picks them up after they've made a statement of some sort

The entity gangster till evil within 4 hits

Im pretty sure pyramide head would at the very very least HEAVILY damage the entity and pinhead is basically a godlike being aswell that could easily rival the entity in power

I think to Number 3 also fits Wesker because as we know he plans ahead so i think he would plan to maybe even use the Blight Serum and his Uroboros to Attack the entity because he cant grab wesker hes too fast.

I don't think there's a way to beat it in it's realm. In order for it to actually be beaten, I think you'd have to lure whatever is the center of the entity or it's mind into a separate world where it will weaker

if Sadako was able to subject The Entity to her curse, what would happen if 7 days pass and Sadako manages to kill it??? would the realm just collapse in on itself and kill everyone inside, or would they just be spat out into their original worlds, or even across random worlds

For the exposure part, Chucky has ties with the voodoo God Dembala. Whom if you really stretch could be comparable to the Christian God And Charon (the Blight skin) would have ties to Hades and in turn the rest of the Olympians. Hades would probably be pretty pissed his ferryman was taken. The Olympians are Gods that govern over the entire Universe. While not as powerful Zeus, Poseidon and Hades could be harmful to the Entity

Now girl I want felix’s child joining the realm

It's me! I can stop it! Here I go... *Dies in agony*

I think that yeah Singularity wouldn’t work with someone like Talbot or Berkin, but would consider the non-human killers like Dredge or Unknown since they don’t share the limitations of being human. If they did team up it would be over for the entity

The Entity is Omnipotent at this point due to how many it has taken and continue to have every Survivor go through a horrific trial so it can feed on all the fear, anguish, and sorrow, since she enjoys the amount of suffering that is in her realm. Moreover, The Dredge was brought to life with The Entity's power by seeing the opportunity to do so as the people at Garden of Joy at the time subsided consciously to place their most darkest and twisted thoughts aside entirely, therefore The Dredge will not betray The Entity and it is consider one of the most powerful beings in Dead by Daylight. Furthermore, The Entity is aggressive to take The Unknown into its realm and force it to do its bidding, so The Unknown increased feeding her through the trials a lot more. Over all, it is possible The Entity is aware of other supernatural beings that it has tricked one of its subjects to be a part of her own realm, therefore The Entity might have done an agreement to make the ordeal fair for both sides.

Pyramid Head would definitely obliterate the Entity. He made a deal with the Entity. That was the only way he could get Pyramid Head to join.

The Entity's power is absolutely OD considering it scales above Cenobite's who scale ridiculously far in the comics. Basically: no way do any killers manage to kill it.

Can you do a video about witch killer dose the entity fears the most Maby or what killer hase the higgest kill count

I honestly think The Unknown could stand a solid chance, considering how hard he is to kill

Realistically, I think escape is the only real option. That being said, the survivors are not slouches. Alessa and Cheryl have the power of silent hill, Yoichi is a psychic like his dad, Ash is the Chosen One, the RE characters are one person armies, and almost all of the original survivors of the past 2 years have some kind of powers or abilities that could help them against the Entity. They have the potential to do some damage at least.

Chucky could call upon Dambala- so throw him in there with Pinhead and Demogorgon- although this Relys on Chucky- you know- wanting to

I mean prymid head can literally defy the very rules of the realm I think he has a chance

Could Alan Wake have an impact on The Entity? His tome ends with him in the campfire with a typewriter. If his influence in the Dark Place transferred over, would he be able to combat The Entity?

I feel like the xenomorphs deserve an honorable mention. If the entity slips up and an infestation occurs, it could very well potentially weak the entity. Defeat it? No, but definitely weaken it. Xenomorphs hives and their out of control tunneling could very much change the realms and potentially do damage if the theory that the realms we set foot in are built out of the entity (entity goop pouring out of rpd walls)

I just realize something, but what would happen if Talbot put his serum to use and try to inject Michael with it exactly how much stronger and more deadly with the shape be?

Is it bad that I want at least two of the Imperiati members as playable characters in the game and two more of the Pariahs, It'd be so cool to get a chapter where one killer is a Imperiati member and one where one of the Pariahs is a killer with the other two being survivors. Preferably one of Elodie's parents and one of Felix's parents and two Pariahs since didn't the lore confirm there was at least five of them and we only have Elodie and Felix

I like that charm where you can get the entity tomagatchi pet. 😂

I wanna see an imperfect serum for the survivors that u can put on the book takes 10 seconds but survivors can't be hooked on that hook for 100 seconds or smth

Vecna from stranger things is the leader of all domogorgons and the mind flayer. He created the mind flayer and also can kill people with one snap. Maybe vecna could kill the entity? Problebly not

I am of the belief that if The Entity ever became irrevocably public it would absolutely get a literal cult following like some kind of lovecraftian cousin of Cthulhu, probably even turning into an open-secret underground game show sought by millions looking for the worlds most "realistic" horror themed game show.

The monsters from a quiet place for dbd
