Toby Fox's hit RPG 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Undertale is filled with all sorts of interesting quirks and tricks, and this holds true even at the ending of the game. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Or, should we say, endings. If you're a good human and don't kill too many monsters, you'll be given the Neutral Ending. If you're a particularly good human and spare every monster, then you will be awarded t🌼he True Pacifist Ending.
However, if you're cruel, and we mean have-to-consult-a-guide-to-be-as-cruel-as-possible cruel, then you'll end up with the Genocide Ending. In order to ensure that one is indeed as cruel as possible, there are a few hoops that one needs to jump through.
10 ꦆ Kill Everything
The bread and butter of the Genocide Route is killing everything. Each area of the game has a set number of monsters that have to be killed before the Genocide Route can be continued. If this number isn't met before moving onto the next area, then the Genocide Route will end and the player will be automatically locked to the Neutral Route for the rest of the game.
A good way to check if the area's requirements have been met before moving on is to fight enemies until a random encounter starts and gives you the incredibly eerie 'But nobody came.' message. If you see this, then well done! You're a murderer!
9 Check Your Kills 🐠
Another fantastic way to keep track of how many atrocities against monsterkind you've committed is by going to the star-shaped save points dotted around the game. The number of monsters left to kill to ensure the Genocide Route continues will be displayed when these stars are interacted with.
Like a great deal of the text exclusive to the Genocide Route, it will be displayed in grim crimson. This minor change hits quite hard when laid over the cheerful Snowdin backdrop, letting the player know that something is very, very wrong with what they're doing.
8 You Can't Backtrack
The Genocide Route, while sounding simple enough on paper — 'just kill everything' — has a few quirks about it that may throw you back into the Neutral Route if you're not careful.
For example, if the player fights Papyrus before they have killed every monster in Snowdin, the game will assume the player wants to continue to the next part of the game as normal and will no longer allow the Genocide Route to continue, as they are effectively saying 'I don't want to kill anymore.' Players will not be allowed to go back to continue their slaughter if they fight the boss of that area.
7 Don't Worry About Glyde
While the aim of the route is to kill everything, that doesn't mean the player has to kill one of each monster. For example, if one happens to spawn nothing but Froggits in the Ruins area, then no problem, hit the kill quota and the route will continue.
This means that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:enemies such as Glyde do not have to be encountered. This is great news, as spawning Glyde requires the player to run around outside the Deltarune door in Snowdin for over two minutes, slowing down the run — irritating if this the player's third playthrough and they just want to get to the bony idiot at the end as quick as possible.
6 Snowdin's Snowdrake
Unlike Glyde, here's a monster that it is necessary to kill to continue the Genocide Route. Whilst it isn't a requirement that a player kills one of every monster, there are a certain few that it is necessary to dispatch. There is a rather sad side-story about Snowdrake and his father, but it is by no means a mandatory encounter in any route.
That said, if the player wishes to continue with the Genocide Route they must kill Snowdrake before their kill count hits zero. After this, their cooler (sorry) friend Chilldrake will appear, looking for them. Unfortunately, Chilldrake must be killed too. Annoyingly, Chilldrake has unique lines for ꧟being spared, meaning t🃏hat the player must follow a Genocide Route to meet him, and then sacrifice said route to see this text.
5 Don't Skip Text, It's Important
Take your time. It's very easy to click through all of the text so that you can get to that battle, but it's honestly worth the time to read through all of the Genocide-exclusive dialogue.
For example, in the Genocide Route, when approaching the Muffet fight, she will comment on the player probably tasting bad and suggest that they're discarded instead of eaten. There is a great deal of fantastic Genocide-exclusive text that appears when examining items — such as 'Where are the knives.' when looking through Toriel's kitchen drawer. Because all of this is missable, it's a good idea to fully explore the world during the Genocide run — imagine it's your first playthrough again! You'll find that many things have changed or completely disappeared, you monster.
4 Food!
There are tons of food items throughout the game, some with added bonus effects. It's important to know which are the best to stock up on before the tricky Genocide-exclusive boss fights. Before 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fighting an even angrier Undyne, it's wise to buy (steal) some Cinnamon Bun(nie)s. Whilst other items, such as the Spider Cider heal a little more HP (24 vs 22) and Snowman Pieces heal a ton more (45!), Cinnamon Buns come with the benefit of being free and available in large quantities.
When fighting Sans, stock up on Legendary Heroes and Face Steaks, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:both available from Burgerpants. It's also an idea to stock up on a few Sea Teas, available from Gerson in the Waterfall area.
3 Sans
Sans is arguably the most difficult fight in the entire game, accompanied by a brilliant backing track to punctuate the tense battle. Even those unfamiliar with Undertale will probably recognize this guy's face or at least his heavily-memed theme song, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Megalovania. First or fiftieth Genocide run, this is tough.
Thankfully, a few items make this a little easier. Firstly, the aforementioned Sea Teas from Gerson. Sea Teas are helpful in that, while they don't heal too much HP (10), they do increase the player's in-battle speed. This means it'll be a little easier to dodge Sans' onslaught of lasers and bones. Secondly, if one pays attention to his sprite during the gravity-flipping portion of the battle (easier said than done when dodging a billion femurs), Sans will lift his arm in the way that he is about to attack!
2 Suit Up!
Food is a big help, but without decent items equipped the game is a lot harder than it needs to be. Before Undyne's fight, grab either the Torn Book or Ballet Shoes, and the Cloudy Glasses or Old Tutu. The Torn Book is a weapon with low power but increased invincibility frames, whereas the Ballet Shoes have higher damage output. As for protection, the Old Tutu offers +10 defense, but the Cloudy Glasses offer +5 defense and more invincibility frames.
With Sans, no matter what weapon you use, you only need to deal one point of damage, so attack power isn't important. This is why the Burnt Pan is the best weapon to use against him, as using it means that all food items give four more points of healing than usual. As an alternative, using the Torn Book and Cloudy Glasses together slightly reduces the duration of Sans' poison effect. Slightly.
1 Trꦇy Not To Cry, Cry A Lot
If like many, Genocide is your second or third playthrough of the game, then it's gonna hit pretty hard emotionally. Having to kill all of the monsters that were previously good friends is bad enough, but the fact that they talk during the fights is what really kills. Especially Papyrusꦇ, good lord.🍎 "I believe in you! You can do a little better!"
There's a reason that many people suggest just skipping the Genocide Route altogether or watching it on YouTube. Oh, and if it's completed first, the game will remember what you did in every other playthrough.
