Vigo

[ToasttheImp]

So it's finally been confirmed that Vigo is very closely connected to the hatch if not outright having built it. This has been hinted at for a while, but I'm glad we're finally getting more Vigo info. Note: When I say confirmed I mean the effect of vigo's blueprint

[WK er v1]

yes, Vigo is probobly most known and best dbd character we can't play, but imo
devs shouldn't destroy 2 years of theory "Vigo=alchemist" it made much sens, fited Vigo and was interesting.
it was something like this:
vigo after escaping found flowers and started studying them, after all were gone he became insane and used last one on himself.
and his story now is like:
he escaped but he somehow found flowers and escaped and in home he found random guy named albot, and then that guy studied effect of these flowers, and something happened to him, and he found more of them, used it on killers, went insane, used it on himself...

it's just too much and it doesn't make much sens

It was never Vigo = alchemist. In one of the alchemist's first lore entries it was mentioned he found Vigo's journal.

To be exact, the second lore entry in the 2018 Hallowed Blight said:
"I discovered a hidden laboratory while running away from a monster. Its stocks are uncommonly plentiful. I observed shelves of alkaloids, crates of silver syringes, piles of protective clothes and a journal signed “Vigo”. (...)"

Then in the third:
"I have been obsessively deciphering Vigo's Journal. His work is elegant but erratic, drawing obscure conclusions from disjointed fields. Most entries mention a powerful force, The Entity, which undergoes a purge that occurs once a year. During this period, The Entity is infested with blight. According to Vigo, cankers bloom into “Pustulas”, (...)"

It was made clear from the start that they are two seperate individuals.

F, you got me there. Yet still it would be better/easier for them to be same person wouldn't it?

Way I look at it, it's a good thing. If it was Vigo, his lore would just about be over/concluded now. Instead, we have the Alchemist (and eventual Blight) who "merely" deciphered Vigo's work from a messy journal, while Vigo remains a prominent figure without a defined final fate, who can be still explored in future stories.

while yes, this might be good, ending Vigos fate in this way would be bad for someone like him. I'm more mad about someone like Tablot (totaly random guy) becoming blight/alchemist. he doesn't fit and has many flaws.
but if vigo isn't infected then he might be a guy from 3rd tome in Observations/relevations who gave guy in archives a bucket of golf bals and pack to celebrate "entity's birthday"

That would be cool, although I also won't mind if the Observer's mystery friend is yet another separate character as well. I like his morbid sense of humour either way.

yes, observer is 2nd best narrator I ever heard (1st is narrator from darkest dungeon).
and tbh from all archives I mainly do them for his lore

Maybe I missed some new lore but I think that vigo doesnt exist, it's just some legend made by the entity itself to give survivors hope for escape

Well it would be somewhat good idea but cliché of "greate guy that was only Hope and doesn't exist" is do bad imo.
Also it's confirmed that Vigo exists. Curently IT is said that he escapes from entitie's wiele. Told his story to Talbot (blight) and Talbot started his obsesion with them
