Ok, I Get the Love for Undertale Now

- Undertale is probably one of the biggest Indie games to ever exist and I know next to nothing about it so I decided to do a first time blind run.

I do love how everyone upon seeing Papyrus defaults to the same two voices. That's just what he sounds like!
Oh, do other people have a similar voice for him? lol
@@ThroarbinGamingyeah, that’s something I love about undertale, that the characters come across so clearly that almost everyone thinks of the same personality and voice for them!!
skeletor and extra skeletor, the 2 voices
@@THTB_lol Its more like skeletor, and british skeletor
It’s the Nyeh Heh Heh Heh!
I love that the entire Undertale community has a shared braincell that makes everyone give Papyrus the exact same voice
I mean, just tell me he sounds any different. You cant, that is literally just papyrus
He literally laughs “NYEH”
Literally
his is a little different
@@paprickachicken5277 they all are sound slightly like skeletor
Genocide route being called "Masochist route" already got me to sub lmao
I mean, he's not entirely wrong...
@@garr_inc It is indeed the truth
@@garr_inc true leleleltolaosloa
It got you to be submissive? Damn, I guess you are a masochist.
...Yeah no that was a terrible joke. I'll see myself out-
@@gengarghast dw that was my first thought
A fun fact : undertale reached many people. Weirdly Sans Undertale reached more
The power memessss and great jokes *badum tssshhh*
this fact will eternally sadden me :[
The "stronger than you" parody vid probably had something to do with it...
That and him just being the most meta character in the game.
@wyltedleaves his smash appearance came many years after he became popular tho
I mean, he wouldn't be in the game if that weren't the case.
I WONDER WHY HMMMMM
32:20 Temmie is special because she's named after one of the game's artists.
Fun fact, in the Japanese version Temmie will sometimes say, in a masculine tone with a fancy font, "heh... you've just entered the pits of hell". This was done specifically to mess with people who've played both versions
Wait, seriously? That's such a cool details
@@ThroarbinGamingyeah she even has her own store hidden where you find her, its the only place where you can sell items lol
@@ThroarbinGamingdetail*
@@ThroarbinGaming Yes. Also the Temmies have their own hidden village to find.
@@ThroarbinGaming I don’t even wanna argue about grammar because I can’t stand rewriting your own grammar. How you phrase that is just too funny for me to want to ruin it.
My favorite thing to hear at the start of a blind Undertale run is:
"No experience points? But I need to level up!"
The evil mastermind in my brain starts drumming his fingers together and petting the cat on his lap while whispering "Good... goooooood..."
One day, I hope some lets player stumbles across the geno route on their first playthrough because they habitually grind exp in rpgs.
@@robertwyatt3912im so hoping for that too
@@robertwyatt3912
I've seen somebody accidentally do a genocide run in their first playthrough before, I don't remember their name though.
@@playlikepig0550same
@@robertwyatt3912
That was literally my brother. He got to 10 kills before I asked if he wanted to move on yet. He goes "nah I want to get stronger," so I let it go. He spent the rest of the run complaining that he didn't get the hype, but every time I suggested he spare an enemy he insisted that he "wasn't a quitter." He loved the Sans' fight, but not enough to want to replay the game.
"I can't survive without XP" is a perfect summary of how Undertale shook up the rpg landscape, flipping what would normally reward you to emotionally punish you, and what would normally make the game harder, to instead make it so much more emotionally satisfying.
True
every time he says theres a loose end for something even though there 100% isnt HURTS
Yes
He played it too linearly to gain the full Undertale experience 😢
Yeah. It’s a little sad. That’s the thing Toby did flawlessly. Everything ties together and the storytelling is unreal.
@@phoenixdonner8553 The problem isn't even playing linearly, the problem is not talking to characters
@@jyjaeskz Yeah.
Or using the save and load stuff at all! I was surprised he didn't reload to save monster kid, since that wasn't even his decision, he just misunderstood the situation.
He missed out on the vast majority, it sounds like. I bet he'd have gotten a huge kick out of the hangout with Papyrus and then the subsequent phone calls.
50:14 its actually a decently easy fight, but they do a really good job at tricking people into thinking it's hard. The less hp you have, the less damage you take. Its pretty clever, because it makes you feel like youre hanging on by a thread the entire fight and you won by sheer luck
Each step (call for help) is also saved, so there is a barely any consequence for losing the fight!
It's interesting how the entire game is subtly designed to give beginners a chance. There are tricks for many attack patterns (ex: 23:55, don't move and the dog won't bark). Toriel stops attacking you if you're low health, The stick skips all dog fights, Papyrus gives up you keep losing, then you have access to the Temmie armor which removes the difficulty for the rest of the game :D
Also I dunno if this is true since I haven’t payed attention but apparently the souls heal you more based on how low your HP is. The lower it is, the more they heal
You also can't die in the soul segments, so no need to no-hit the bravery, integrity and justice soul segments (for integrity just go to the far left, act, and then eat up the greens), kindness is pretty easy to heal too
It is pretty cool how when you do die in that fight the game gets closed
@@blitzprog Also, as long as you're wearing the bandage, you have a 100% flee rate (when it gives you the option, of course).
Mostly every time you feel confused or disappointed, it's because it's shown or resolved in another route! The game actually changes a lot between the major runs
no its actually because he, for some reason, never thought to take characters up on offers to hang out after the fight. never went back to date papyrus, never went back to hang out at undynes house, etc.
he treated it like a liner, one way street, and didnt actually pay attention to surroundings or dialogue that suggested not mindlessly running straight ahead and taking a detour for a bit.
@@DarthZ01 Yeah, that as well. It just wasnt the best playthrough :/
I REALLY suggest doing the pacifist run before the genocide run, because:
1. You're currently missing huge, extremely crucial narrative details from the pacifist run. Without those, a lot of what happens in Genocide won't make sense.
2. Genocide is a SLOG. It's designed to emulate those classic mind-numbing RPG grinds, so you can't just kill every monster you meet, you have to keep running around every area until the random encounters stop. It's a whole meta-textual thing.
Way to spoil the game
Also, to spoil as little as possible, pacifist will be less rewarding if you do genocide first.
They literally spoiled essentially nothing???
Seconding this. Pacifist first Genocide second is 1000% the way to go story wise.
Even the creator mentioned it’s supposed to be neutral, pacifist then genocide.
I love that papyrus's voice is fucking omnipresent everybody comes up with it on their own and it's the same voice evry time
Youre so damn right
36:50 You can see that Alphys is actively trying to give you the answers to the quiz, just mentioning for future play throughs in case you didn’t notice.
Yessss when I heard him say it's a hard and rigged quiz I ran to the comments.
I never knew that!
I don’t think a single person knew she was giving answers on their first playthrough, myself included.
@@symbiotesoda1148I knew, that’s probably because I read dialogue though…
@@Bot_6P_42O Same. I also knew because I saw her doing some weird movements and I looked closely.
10:07 reading signs on walls at that part gives clues to solving that puzzle
oooooh
"I am sure there are no indications as to which to press" As he walks by and ignores the huge fricking sign which tells him what to do X)
@@ThroarbinGamingYou learn a LOT by stopping to read text and talk to people in this game, pretty often they tip you off to puzzles, secrets, or battle mechanics on top of the exposition
Except the signs, it's actually the same room 4 times just rotated...
@@ThroarbinGaming
In case you want to retry the puzzle, don't read this, but the solution is
The first sign, in the room that doesn't have spikes, says the far door marks a rotation in perspective, implying that the switches are in the same order every time, "Blue, green, red" from the entrance to exit
The proceeding signs tell you exactly which switch to press, no riddles or anything, just straight up saying what to do next. (That made me laugh a bit when you said there weren't any instructions)
48:00 I think the point of him just nodding sadly, implying he's aware of the inevitability of your victory, is meant to show how despite the fact he knows he'll never succeed on the path he's taken (both literally and figuratively), he feels bound to do it (both by duty and by sunk cost)
We also know that if you do certain things, Asgore will outright refuse to kill you and will kill himself and let you take his soul.
It shows that it’s inevitable you’ll win, but not necessarily due to your actions.
Glad you enjoyed the game!
hey checkmark
Omg it’s Shay my favorite streamer who I miss every stream for
How does Shayy's comment have just two replies?
@@ARandomIndieGameEnjoyer I don't know. I mean, their comment has less than 100 likes right now so maybe it just isn't high up enough for people to spot it.
It's-a-you, SHAY
30:44 It doesn't matter what you pick when Papayrus asks you what you're wearing. He has a different line for each choice which rats you out either way.
Wait, really? Gosh darn it Papyrus
@@ThroarbinGaming If you lie to him by saying you are not wearing one, he will lie to Undyne saying that you are. If you tell the truth to Papyrus and say that you are, he'll tell Undyne that you are wearing a bandanna and assume that you were smart enough to lie on the question.
@@MsQueenOfDance There's also the "telling him one way or the other and then changing" choices, which also have unique dialogue that still ends in him ratting you out.
@@MsQueenOfDancehe told the truth with me, I think it might be random or attempt-based
@@MsQueenOfDance There are also different dialogs if you change what you are wearing.
I think you can decide for yourself if you want to do a pacifist or genocide run. However, a pacifist run is required to understand the full story and complete lose ends. a genocide run is fully optional. Also a tip for the genocide run, You have to kill everything in every area before continuing, if you leave an area with some random monster still alive, the game will prevent you from commiting full genocide.
oh really? good to know
@@ThroarbinGamingplease please please do pacifist first
@RadioactiveBluePlatypus please let him decide what he wants and not beg him for a certain path
@ThroarbinGaming Trying to avoid spoilers but also trying to help you, I'll say this for the genocide route: Do NOT go past toriel untill "nobody came". only go past her once you figured out what that means, then it will be clear for all areas what you gotta do
You need to do both pacifist and genocide.
Each gives you half of the story, so if you skip genocide your story won't be complete.
"dog marriage"
"yes you read that correctly"
has to be one of the most effective jokes in a game I've ever seen. you absolutely are going to read it again.
i don't get the joke, could you please explain 😭
@@omegothicthe joke is just that most players will read the sign and not realize it says dog marriage until after they close it and then they’ll check again to make sure
“Suddenly I feel like I’m home”. That song is called Undertale and is partially a reprise of the song called Home
I'm glad you enjoyed the Neutral Route!
-Wow, I've never seen someone dodge Flowey's opening cutscene on their first playthrough! You are way more cautious than most!
-Toriel, (Goat Mom), is incredibly Hand-Hold-ey because she is a pun on the common trope of a Tutorial character, or Tu-Toriel.
-You definitely aren't the first person to distrust Toriel after meeting flowey
-Sans and Papyrus are named after the fonts they speak in!
-The telescope that sans lets you look into is an ago-old prank of putting dye or paint around the lens, if you didn't get it.
-Special Enemy Temmie is a unique encounter because there is a secret room nearby that leads you to Temmie Village, if you want to try and find it...
-If you feel like Undyne is a loose end, you might want to visit her or Papyrus after the fight. They both have unique "Hang Out" scenes that you will definitely laugh at. And these events are required to finish a Pacifist route, if that helps.
-Alphys seems to have her own issues with self-confidence that doesn't quite show until you learn more about her "scheme" to convince you to stay in the underground. When she fails, we don't hear from her again, and she stops posting on social media. There might be a bit more to her character that you can find in a Pacifist route...
-The image of Papyrus wearing Biceps with sunglasses can actually be found as a Steam Trading card for the game!
-Did you try talking to Sans in his waterfall station or outside of MTT Hotel? He looked like he had something to say...
-You suspected that you can't die during the Flowey fight, but that's actually not true! You can die tons of times during the flowey fight, but he pulls some strings to make it seem worse than it really is. For starters, your health bar displays your HP as lower than it actually is. Bullet Patterns are larger than their hitboxes. And also, you can't actually die during transition phases, but you can still loose HP down to 1. Congrats on winning in 1 attempt!
FINALLY:
-The Neutral, Pacifist, and Genocide runs are designed with the hope that the player finds/plays them in that order. You can obviously play them in any order you want, but many jokes or impactful moments might go over your head without (or with) prior context. Just a fair warning. You'll love both routes for sure, and I want to see both of them from you!
"You'll love both routes for sure" ...Oh, no! 😂
This was an amazing explanation that held back from any spoilers. Great job dude.
ain't the first playthrough always neutral ?
@@doreettorac9382 not always. You can do a completely pacifist or a completely genocide play through on your first run.
@@nezukoweeb1328well, you have to do a neutral before pacifist even if you don't kill anyone. Just because of the Alphys encounter you need.
Papyrus: "Hey, come hang out at Undyne's house so that we can all be friends"
Throarbin: "I'm PrEtTy SuRe We NeVeR sEe UnDyNe AgAiN"
He only played neutral so far though
On Neutral you do NOT see her again. If you go to her house she is not there. So MaYBe RePEAt YoUr WhOlE PosTR lIkE ThIs To MAkeE It CoNsIStEnTlY WrOng.
Umm, pretty sure you do, as well as you date Papyrus which seems like Throarbin have also missed@@benjamindeh873
@@skx5110if you do the date then papyrus allows you to meet undyne at her house so if you don’t even try to interact with him again then he doesn’t invite you I believe but even the cooking lesson with undyne is optional
@@skx5110in the neutral run, you cannot date undyne if you’ve killed any monsters outside of the ruins.
"there are no cat enemies tho. I guess if they did exist they would be the spawn of the devil"
mad mew mew:
I thought it was Seam and Jevil xD
She only exists in the Switch version of the game.
The game sets up alot of stuff where you can back track if you want to, like Papyrus saying you can date later is actually an option if you go into his house after the battle
Also pacifist is best to do first so you understand alot of the hints and lore in the genocide run
A lot of your confusion over certain plot points (Undyne's disappearance, Alphys's unexplained motivations) are addressed in a pacifist run, which is half the reason the game does its best to encourage you in that direction, so yes! I'd love to see a follow-up! I can't stress enough though that you should try that playstyle BEFORE succumbing to the urge to grind to maximum level in the starting area. It'll make a difference.
im not trying telling you what you should do with the reset, but i promise you if you want the most engaging and emotional experience then do pacifist and then genocide. trust me the best moments in undertale will hit a lot harder.
and if you just want blood and commit genocide then it'll be a lot more rewarding to do so after pacifist
It's VERY boring to do the genocide run until certain points, but then their just hard as balls then boring so take it or leave it
Hm, interesting, that seems to be what a lot of people are saying
@@ThroarbinGaming yep that is how the narrative is set up. Pacifist is pushed in first playthrough so you will do pacifist in your second playthrough. Than you learn about genocide from others and play that if you want to.
@@ThroarbinGamingI'm not sure if someone's said this yet, but you probably will have to look up a guide if you want to do genocide
@@ThroarbinGaming I won't get into any spoilers btw, but there are three things about geno that might mess up your experience going forward, but overall they are pretty minor. The biggest thing is that geno is extremely grind heavy (it can be a bit of a chore), and a large commitment. So if you are more so in it for a developer intended experience I recommend pacifist first, but, if you don't mind, it's really not all that big of a deal. Explore this game however you see fit. Careful of actual spoilers, this game is notorious for being ruined for people.
"You underestimate my ability to CONSUME!"
Man, if this guy plays Deltarune, he's gonna LOVE Kris.
31:08 If you read her dialogues, it is said that mettaton told her that if she kills you, she'll get enough money to make the spiders from the ruins be able to pass snowdin and be with her (snowdin is too cold for the spiders)
The solution for the puzzle with the switches at the beginning... is very clearly laid out on the signs at the wall ^^'
ooooooooooooooh
@ThroarbinGaming haha I was laughing because I did the exact same thing and then the next few playthroughs until I realized you could interact with the signs
30:25 whats funny is if you actually tell him the truth and keep the same clothes on, papyrus will instead relay exactly what you said to undyne and say that he expected you to change your clothes so as to not get caught
And if you tell him the truth, but then change your clothes before you encounter Undyne, he will say he made something up to Undyne, not knowing that it just so happened to be _exactly_ what you changed into.
(dont tell him if hes gonna do another playthrough.........)
IMO the best thing is to tell him the truth and not change your clothes, since in that case he doesn't end up lying to Undyne so he doesn't feel bad about lying to his friend.
36:17 PAPYRUS LITERALLY TOLD YOU TO GO SEE HIM AND THEN, GO TO UNDYNE'S HOUSE ON THE PHONE

They're both so different from one another, it's insane and definitly worth more videos
I just want to see the pacifist run everybody wants to see the game completed I just want to see everybody happy
What are you, 7? Genocide is still a route in the game (in my opinion the more interesting one) and you shouldn’t only play 2/3 of the game because: “I dont wanna kill stuff”
He’s doing neutral I think, I think you should spare you who you want to spare and who you don’t, it should be your choice.
@@liampena8475buddy the genocide run being unpleasant is *literally* the point of the game lmao
Not wanting to do it is the expected outcome here. It is thematically interesting and the fights are great, but you can't rag on people for not wanting to do it
@@liampena8475what's funny about that is the fact that most of the fandom nowadays think that people that are obsessed with the no mercy route are probably 7 themselves
50:00 you can die during the fight, but you keep the progress of how many souls you have encountered. It’s not supposed to be a rage-inducing fight
12:59 First, toriel attacks you to show you you can't survive in the wild. Secondly, she's not attacking you at this moment because you have a low hp
A note for the Flowey fight
In the "soul phases" (the intermission bits) you can't die regardless of how much damage you take
The flowey fight is known for being easy "if you know what you're doing", you probably just picked up on that quite fast.
I'd recommend re-playing it and doing some of what you missed, both runs (although pacifist definitely has more) have interesting things to see.
48:05 asgore knows how much he can kill you, hes just hoping you'll give up so he can take your soul
"Does anyone know how to lower the volume" yes... there is a volume slider built directly into the computer. Usually comes with a set of buttons an the top of the keyboard...
Yeah, I found it really weird he didn't just _turn down the volume on his headphones_
Exactly
that wouldn’t affect the volume of the recording because he’s also recording his voice
And there is a control panel in the menu. I don't remember if there is a volume button in-game though
But he didn’t want other sounds to be turned down only the music. And he did do this
You can see Undyne again after the chase. Just like Papyrus mentioned there is the ability to visit both Papyrus' house with him and Undyne's. In a true pacifist playthrough there's even a whole story arc with Undyne and Alphys.
I'm so used to seeing everyone make variations of Papyrus with Skeletor's voice, so seeing your take which sounded more like the English voice of Brook was really refreshing.
3:12 No, these issues aren't down to when the game was made; they're due to the fact that Toby Fox isn't a professional game developer, and either didn't think of those things or didn't know how to implement them. I mean, no offence to Toby, he made a great game, but these were solved problems back in _1995,_ while Undertale came out in _2015._
Wait, 2015? I thought this game was much older
@@ThroarbinGamingit's relatively new, but it's inspired by earthbound and a lot of older rpgs, which is probably why it has that feel
38:03 fun fact: it was actually meant to be annoying, so your feelings are completely valid
"You underestimate my ability to comsume" LMAO!
"There is a pacifist and a masochist route."
Was that unintentionally accurate or deliberate commentary?
WELCOME TO THE UNDERGROUND
how was the fall
@@SeasonalMike1 How are your balls*
IF YOU WANNA LOOK AROUND
give us a call
WE DONT SEE HUMANS OFTEN
noticed mid video you said no undyne after her fight feels like a loose end... justa tip if you ever play again! this game's map isn't totally one linear path. you can go back and visit papyrus and undyne.!
afterall, Papryus even told the player this just incase they forgot during the Undyne fight, wwww
It's so funny how you either instantly see alph helping you with the questions or you never realize, not even in post while editing lmao.
There is a whole story that you cant see in the normal route, a lot of the story is shown to you both in the pacifist and the genocide(masochist)
I would say to do the pacifist first but you do you, both are amazing
[SPOILER]
If you do the Pacifist AFTER the Genocide you aren't doing a real Pacifist,you're doing a Soulless Pacifist
@@fanfight yessss i love that ending
There was also the Ruins colored switch puzzles “I don’t see where there’s any indication on where to press the switches so it was just blind guesses”
And I’m just looking at the plaques on the walls
10:06 the signs tell you which one to press
Anytime there was a point where you felt confused, or that there was a loose end, the game actually explains or ties it up. There are a lot of things in the game that can be discovered through exploration and interacting with NPCs and stuff. The True Pacifist run is what I'd recommend to hit that narrative satisfaction.
31:49 Napstablook didn't hurt mad dummy on purpose (which is his cousin). He was just crying
15:35 Thorabin: WHERE IS THE SPRINT BUTTON!?
i was smiling... there is no escape... there is no sprint button...
Have not finished the video yet, but I recommend waiting on Deltarune until you have seen the other two major endings of Undertale.
Really? I've heard of delta rune though I've been told it's not necessarily a sequel
@@ThroarbinGaming
I can't explain why you should see the other endings without spoiling some things, just that it's recommended.
@@ThroarbinGaming Well, it's not really a sequel, but... the games are sorta connected, while also not being directly connected. It's hard to explain, but I'm with OP on this one.
@@hinkyto2550I second this. Third? Idk
@@ThroarbinGamingit is not a sequel to the story but the story plays significantly in the message of deltarune.
Give me more the undertale please
I agree with this comment
I bet you do
as someone who's first video game obsession was undertale, i THANK you for playing! it genuinely impacted me more than i'd ever thought- the music and story telling in this game is something i want everyone to experience !! i'm so happy you liked it, i loved seeing your reactions, they made me feel that same joy back in 2015!!
It's really interesting watching someone go to basically the same experience I did all those years ago. Wouldn't mind watching you come back to this and explore Undertale more.
It's so nice to see someone new arriving and starting this journey. It's refreshing, really! I hope you enjoy UNDERTALE as much as we did.
(also, lesser dog is the absolute good boy)
As it happens quite a few loose ends do get tied up in a few optional events (Like how papyrus kept mentioning how you still haven't come over to him for that date for example)
man if only there was some secondary playthrough you could do to see these events...
oh well, guess we'll never see them
Green mage from everhood hi
Temmie is the self insert of Temmie Chang, the main artist that worked on this game. Toby Fox's self insert is "The Annoying Dog" (the little white doggy that pops up occasionally).
10:00 .................... bro.... read the sign..............
I'm pretty sure you can cut the muffet fight short by buying a spider product in the ruins and eating it during the fight
but why would you? it's one of the coolest fights in the game, and honestly possibly my second favorite one after the obvious n1.
THE STRY PIXEL ON THE THUMBNAIL WAS VILE BRO😭
The Photoshop Flowey battle isn't that hard, but it does throw so much stuff at you that if you aren't prepared for it, you're likely to be panicking. That's where it's difficulty lies. Most people lose the first time, but after a couple of attempts you notice it's not as hard as it seems.
This was a very entertaining run, it was a good amount of edited and you had some different thoughts than many others, and for the last question you asked i really recommend playing the Pacifist route :D
Well, since you asked, it is almost always better to do a pacifist run before doing a, as you call it, masochist run. That's the intended progression, and also ties up some of the loose ends you mentioned earlier, such as what happens to undyne
That being said, some things you should keep in mind: For both runs there are some specific things you have to do: pacifist requires a lot of backtracking into old areas, tho the game gives plenty of hints on what to do next iirc. For genocide, you have to kill _literally_ everything: this means grinding enemies on each of the areas until no more spawns.
That being said, good luck 👍
On that note: A lot of the issues you mentioned, such as the lack of options in the menu or how esc instantly quits the game are fixed in deltarune, so if you want _more_ undertale I can not recommend it enough (In case you dont know, deltarune is undertale's sequel)
On a related note, if he used the term "masochist" as a form of censorship, that's basically the opposite of what the run is. The term he may have been looking for was "sadist". Doesn't quite capture the essence of the run quite like "genocide", but its serviceable.
@@pikmints Just call it "no mercy route".
No good very bad he should do it before pacifist because he shared explicit interest in it run
@@eclipsedarksouls6036 well, yeah, he did. But, like I said, the intended progression is pacifist before genocide, which is why I recommended it.
At the end of the day, the choice is his to make.
Deltarune isnt undertale's sequel, its more in a parallel world where some things are the same and some things are obviously different, like the monsters not being underground and there not being a Frisk or Chara. Also Undyne and Alphys not knowing each other.
I love blind playthroughs of undertale, seeing people react diferently to every little thing and joke about the game is great, the only thing I could say is that talking to the npcs and interacting with the inverement gives wonderful lines and context for the world, and of course we would love to see a Genocide/No mercy run of undertale! Just be sure to play again to get the REAL ending :)
It’s so nice to see people experiencing this game for the first time, even after all these years.
I STRONGLY recommend a pacifist run. There’s some optional content you missed out on, and the pacifist run also gives you some closure for Alphys’ story. I also recommend saving genocide for last since it’s a massive difficulty spike.
All in all, this was very fun to watch. I first played Undertale when I was quite young and it genuinely changed me as a person. It’s a game that means the world to me, and I’m glad to see others enjoying it.
I'm glad you had a good time! I adore undertale and let me tell you - only playing the neutral run is like only playing 1/3 of a game and the other two thirds are also absolutely amazing.
Always a treat t see frst time mostly unspoiled UT playthroughs!
Would definitely recommend checking out the pacifist and the murder routes, in whatever order you feel like. People might recommend a particular one first but do what you like.
great video! it's hilarious how almost everyone i know of uses that papyrus voice
im pretty certain the "intended" or expected order for the routes is:
neutral run (player is figuring out the game, probably spares/kills a few monsters along the way. Toriel especially has a special mechanic where she is easily killed on accident by the player)
pacifist (player is prompted to do so and gets to know the characters very personally)
genocide (player has exhausted everything else and desperately wants more content.... just like a certain in game character).
They all progressively add to the game's narrative which i think is so cool. A pacifist run would definitely help answer some of ur questions or resolve things like undyne feeling random and one-off
This was so fun! It’s really rare to see a true neutral run. I also recommend pacifist first- I’ll be honest and say a lot of the same ground is retread, but you get a fuller story that way, and the “masochist” run expects you to have played pacifist at least once. Even the retread ground should be interesting and at least slightly different on another go-around!
Anyway this was so much fun, your reactions were good and I’m excited to have found the channel! I hope you delve into other routes and Deltarune eventually, I think you’d have a great time and a lot of the questions and “loose ends” you see would be addressed!
Wouldn't it be a Sadist run? Masochist is when you like getting hurt.
i mean... genocide is sure painful and yet people play it anyway lmao
How about sado-masochist run then? lol
You can interact with any signs you see, including the ones on the walls like in the area shown at 9:59. These signs tell you that all four rooms are actually the same room flipped 90 degrees, having some switches blocked by their respective pillars, and which color switch to hit in which room.
Im still on the beginning and i just realized that this is the first time ive seen a true honest tk god neutral route
36:55 Saying "Pretty sure you were never ment to beat this quiz show" while Alphys is desperately telling you the answer is pretty funny
No matter what you do, Papyrus will always accidentally reveal what you're wearing to Undyne.
Even if you happen to change your armor after lying or telling the truth, you can't escape his goof
if you read the signs you can figure out the switches rooms pretty easily
33:04 What you interacted with is an echo flower, it repeats what it last heard, so undyne said that to the flower to scare you
get all 3 endings man, its so worth it, it really is, your an amazing content creator to have found and i cant speak for everyone else here but i know that i will be sticking around if you do
That was great :) I think going as blind as possible is a great way to experience a first playthrough ! I would honestly love for you to make a pacifist run - it has a lot of great moments and answer a lot of questions. The Genocide / No mercy route is very interesting and definitely worth checking out AFTER that, but please be careful that it's both tedious and pretty brutal, as you face the two hardest bosses of the game, including one that is almost legendary for its difficulty !
I loved the video!! i would love to see both runs! there's still a lot you haven't seen, specifically what you said about undyne having a loose end, goes further into detail in the pacifist run, and the genocide run is incredible, though beware that it is a bit grindy, still, that run has some of the best boss battles this game has to offer. super excited to see what you'll do!
I don't care which route you pick I just want you to see more of this phenomenal game.
This game changed my life. Mostly my music composition skills (I have used FL Studio to recreate Megalovania 30+ times)
It's also so weird how this guy continually plays extremely popular games with almost 100% blind playthrough. As though bro's been living under a rock for years lol
9:58 See, a lot of people don't get this puzzle, and I understand why, but here's the gist:
The first room of the puzzle will have a sign saying something like "the door is not an exit, it simply marks a shift in perspective". What this means is, the next few rooms are actually copies of the first room, turned 90 degrees to the right. Then the signs in the next few rooms tell you which switch to press. You have to press that switch, with the understanding that it may be behind a pillar due to the shift in perspective.
Need more content, specifically pure runs, but as a blind playthrough very entertaining
The alphys thing is mostly just to show that basically nobody in undertale is perfect, its just the fact that because of her issues alphys tries to make you want to like her by framing everything so she seems like a confident hero, her story is MUCH more elaborated on in true pacifist
By the way if you decide to DO the true pacifist run, you do have to go back to previous areas, and do stuff with previous characters like hang out with papyrus and undyne
- its so refreshing to see again this game after having played it myself soo long ago, lovely video throar!
11:55 “You underestimate my ability to C O N S U M E.”
I’m stealing that, lol.
I'd love to see you do a pacifist playthrough especially because some of the things you mention as not having follow up have so much follow up in the pacifist route speciifcallythe genocide route is also great but dodsnt do the above as much since you know.... Your killing everyone. But does lead to very different interactions instead.
It's so fun seeing a first playthrough and seeing which monsters you struggled with and which ones you didn't. Since you were killing random enemies in the first area I was expecting you to think you had to fight toriel and it was so great seeing you figure out you still didn't have to. Watching her eventually give up hits me right in the feels every time
The neutral end has a lot of different outcomes depending on who is still alive at the end. (Only effecting the epilogue mostly) but definitely delves the least into the story overall
I cannot get enough of this game, proceed as you wish but be aware, there are those who would hate you for doing the genocide run
It was so much fun seeing your first time experience of the game, lol it's always great seeing Undertale's charm spread ♥️ I would personally love to see you do a pacifist run! To me, the ending is 10000% worth it, and I think you'll find some of the "loose ends" aren't what you think :) Whatever you do tho, it was just nice seeing this!
One Warning. IF you do the Kill-Everyone Route, you cannot go back. That is a final run that cant be taken back without cheating by modifying files.
You are not “supposed” to do a killing-everyone-run before actually completing the game, and frankly, it would loose most of its meaning. You obviously can do it, you can do whatever you want, but I doubt you will enjoy it.
If you do decide to do a killing run before pacifist (again, not recommended!), good luck, it probably won’t be fun, but at least you won’t be punched in the feels repeatedly.
A couple of tips for the other routes:
To get true pacifist, you have to give Undyne the water after she passes out. This is one of the few requirements besides not killing anything, but the game makes the other requirements clear by itself.
As someone else said, you have to kill all the monsters in each area for genocide. You have to do this in each area before fighting the area boss (so Toriel for the ruins). If you want to do this most efficiently, go to a different room after each kill. The game lets you know when you have enough kills in an obvious way, so if you're in doubt about if you have enough then you don't.
There were many moments in this story where you felt like something was missing. You're right on the money! If you backtrack after certain events you can see certain things you would've missed.
If you flirt with Papyrus you can go back after his battle and go on that date
After the Undyne fight you can take up Papyrus' offer and go hang out at Undyne's place and eventually make friends with her.
After the Metatton fight, you can go back to the lab to look for Alphys, where you can learn more about her and her motivations while also uncovering some of her dark secrets. Most people share the complaint that Alphys is pretty much unlikable on the first run through, but you start to get a better sense of her if you look deeper.
There is a way to befriend almost every character and get them a happy ending. Just gotta do a bit of searching. I hope you do more videos on the other routes, I promise they're worth it!
You are missing out by not doing the pacifist route. There's a whole lot of story in the characters that you're missing out. I would dare say you haven't actually finished Undertale until doing a neutral route + pacifist. Of course, if you really don't care about the characters, you could always just show the monsters of the Underground how much of a monster you are...
45:7 Don't you mean Toriel (or flowey)? Who tf is Asriel???
Ik who Asriel is, but he shouldn't yet
Well, he wrote the script after he played the game, I'm pretty sure (definitely didn't write it before he played the game). The next scene right after he mentioned Asriel, is the monsters telling him the tale of Asriel. He already knew who Asriel was when writing his script.
Or he could've meant Toriel and got confused while writing/reading the script because of what part of the game he's at.
Edit: okay, he doesn't know exactly who Asriel is. But the scene does say Asriel's name quite a few times.
It is absolutely awesome seeing your perspectives about the story and the gameplay throughout this playthrough. You played the game in a way I don't see a lot of people play, and also in a way that I think a lot of people WOULD if they weren't spoiled or pressured by the larger community and/or content (including things like official trailers). There's a lot that you didn't get to experience that I did when I played, and there were things that I got to see for the first time by seeing you play. I love that about Undertale, and I'm glad that spirit can carry through for folks playing for the first time.
Also I think it would be interesting to see you play the masochist route. I think the route offers some unique and intense perspectives that are interesting to experience and analyze from an emotionally conscious lens.
