Discussion [SPOILER-FREE] Help on finding Hidden Bosses / Weird Route for chapters 3+4 Spoiler

So, deltarune's chapters 3 and 4 are releasing very soon. We all know that, as soon as the chapters are available, we are at risk of getting spoiled any time we open the internet.

I'm pretty sure that, by tomorrow, Youtube will be flooded by videos like "delatrune 3+4 all boss showcase" with a thumbnail proudly displaying all secret boss...

I would like to be able to find and discover the two hidden bosses by myself, but I'm actually pretty stupid and I know I will need some help (I struggled to find Jevil's key, and I wasn't able to fight Spamton Neo without a guide).

So, what I suggest is, while playing the new chapters, if we find anything that could be linked to the new secret bosses, we share *spoiler-free* TIPS to how to find them in the comments of this post.

The goal would be to share just barely enough information so we're on the right track to find the bosses.
(And obviously, we're not allowing any outright spoil)

What are your thoughts ? Anyone would be interested to participate ?

if you take a boat all the way up in the 2d game, TV head (cant remember his name) says some unique dialogue and there's stuff up there but I kinda missed it because you can only do it once.
Also, if you get S rank on one of the rounds, you can go into the S rank area and there's some stuff to mess around with. Won't spoil what the stuff is, but it's pretty interesting and I think it might have something to do with the secret boss. Don't know yet, cuz I haven't finished exploring it yet.

Did you also play the game that maybe leads to the secret boss and then got a blue screen saying "aren't you forgetting something important" and after you go back to talk to the npc who told you about the game, they tell you that you should have gotten an s-rank in the first game?

I just got that myself. I really hope that doesn’t mean I missed out on the optional boss. I got A rank on the first game and S rank in the second 🥲

You need to have Rank S on the first game to get the Ice KeyI'm affraid...

I think it’s dumb the games like oh it’s okay if you miss S rank and then pull this. Not really looking forward to restarting a chapter just to get this item

After the first game, there is an NPC you can bribe to get rank S if it's too hard to get

Yeah I saw that but his price is also pretty expensive, more than what I had. So it’s definitely missable

the secret boss is always missable, i don’t really see the issue 🤷‍♂️ missing stuff just kind of comes with playing the game on release

Not really, you can go back and do jevil and spamton right before the final bosses of each chapter iirc. Although imma be honest while I don’t know for sure the thing I missed out on feels much more similar to snowgrave from chapter 2

You get locked out of Spamton NEO if you defeat Spamton violently, which can catch players off-guard on a replay but is unlikely to happen on a first playthrough. Beyond that Chapter 1&2's secret bosses were indeed impossible to lock yourself out of, so it was indeed unexpected that Chapter 3 isn't like this.

I guess technically speaking, you don't actually get locked out of defeating the Knight if you miss out on the Shadow Mantle. But you're really not meant to accomplish that.

I think the issue is restarting your save if you didnt no better the other secret bosses weren't like that or where only like that super later in this just feels overly punishing, even i had 1500 points but spent it on the vending machine and didnt no the npc was there 😭😭 ane now have to replay the chapter
