Archivos

**Archivos** are a mode of *Dead by Daylight*  that were added with Patch 3.3.1.

They were announced on Dead by Daylight's 3 Year Anniversary Stream.

## Overview

**Archivos** offer new goals for Players, and allow for a more narrative experience further expanding the *Dead by Daylight* universe.

Completing Master Quests of a **Tome** will unlock Memories , Logs , Cinematics , Charms  and bonus Bloodpoints .

## Lore

***The Observer** has a unique power, with which he can probe the Entity's Fog and find memories and stories that are stored in her memories. All these memories are stored in the Fog once a Character is taken, with the Entity not making any use of it, thus getting forgotten.*

*At the core of The Archives is the Auris, a device capable of peering into the memories of those who've entered the Fog. Through this device, the players access a series of Challenges to help them piece together these memories and his overall role.* ​

## Tomes

*To view all **Tomes** please refer to the Tomes link page.*
New **Tomes** are regularly added to The Archives. Each Tome is released with one level of challenges, and further levels become accessible over time. Once a new level is available, it can be accessed by reaching the Epilogue of the previous level.

You can accept one challenge at a time.

Most challenges can be completed in multiple trials and will reward Bloodpoints . Master Challenges must be completed in one Trial, but they offer greater rewards and occasionally unlock entries in the Tome's collection. The Collection is a window into the stories of the Dead by Daylight Characters , containing memories, logs and animated sequences.

If there is an open **Rift**, the Challenges in the current Tome will also award Rift Fragments . These fragments unlock Tiers of rewards in the Rift.

There are **12 Tomes** and **2 Event Tomes**:

* Tome 1 - Awakening
* Tome 2 - Reckoning
* Tome 3 - Escalation
* Tome 4 - Conviction
* Tome 5 - Unleashed
* Tome 6 - Divergence

* Tome 8 - Deliverance
* Tome 9 - Crescendo
* Tome 9.5 - The Midnight Grove (Event Tome)
* Tome 10 - SAW
* Tome 11 - Devotion
* Tome 11.5 - Twisted Masquerade (Event Tome)

There are also **3** confirmed future **Tomes**:

* Tome 13 (October 2022)
* Tome 14 (January 2023)
* Tome 15 (April 2023)

### Memories & Logs

Completing **Master Challenges** unlocks a log entry or a memory in the current Tome's **Collection**.
These entries expand the Lore of *Dead by Daylight* and are narrated by **The Observer**.

In the case of an Event Tome, completing those Challenges additionally unlocks special Event-Cosmetic pieces.

## The Rift

*Main article: The Rift*
When The Observer probes inside the Fog, a **Rift** is created. The Rift is a way for Players to earn additional cosmetics.

Each Tome will always be accompanied by a new Rift, a tear through the Entity's Fog containing a multitude of rewards from other worlds and memories. These time-limited rewards will be earned simply by playing the game and progressing in The Tome. Most of these rewards will be related to the current Tome's lore and/or seasonal events.

**Rifts** contain rewards for both Killers and Survivors. Collect Rift Fragments  to increase your Tier in the Rift and unlock more rewards.

When a Rift is open, Rift Fragments can be collected by earning XP and completing challenges in the current Tome.

There are two tracks of rewards:

* A free one
* A Premium one, which adds more cosmetics. This track can be unlocked by buying a **Rift Pass** with Auric Cells .

## Charms

*Main article: Charms*
**Charms** are rewards for completing Tomes, unlocking Tiers in the Rift, or as giveaways. They can be equipped on a Survivor's waist or on a Killer's Hook .

## Trivia

* The Observer's Tower is located somewhere below and to the right of the main menu area.
	+ This can be seen when one returns from the Rift by using a button command, since the camera transition does not black out.
* **Tomes** are permanent. This means that if a Player didn't complete a Tome and another one was released, they can still work on their current Tome.
	+ Challenges from the previous Tomes can be accessed through the Compendium menu.
	+ **The Rift**, however, is open for the duration of their respective Tome and closes short before another one is released.
* **Charms** were leaked alongside the Ghost Face  on the 2.7.0 Mid-Chapter Update. The Developers released a Developer Build instead of the Update for some Players. As soon as they realized this happened, they forced all Players out of the game and the ones to have this Build had to download the right Update. However, multiple screenshots were taken and some Players were streaming at the moment.
	+ They were thought to be similar to emotes at the time.
	+ However, until the Developers announced **Archivos**, the Charms were thought to be part of the 3 Year Anniversary Event.
* Currently there are three types of challenges, each one having its own codename:
	+ Normal Challenge - "Task"
	+ Master Challenge - "Challenge"
	+ Additional Objective Challenge - "Contextual"

### Unused Music

* The Developers created several Themes for **The Archives** that are unused to date:

* A concept of The Archives
