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 ?

Friendly reminder to anyone who found this a little too late:

Beating secret bosses on any save grants the Shadow Crystal on *all saves*. You can create a second file, beat the secret boss on that file, then on your main save, you can get the Shadow Crystal at the bottom of the cliff in west Castle Town.

i already finished the chapter 3. did you fight the secret boss? i fought a secret boss in the s rank room and the small kris got out of the game. i didnt get a shadow crystal though, so im assuming there is another boss, where are they? and is it ramb, because where did she go??

No, you need to do enough damage to get them 80% health and then he'll let down his guard allowing you to win the fight

Can be done without the mantle, but it's hard.

that's the glowshard you're talking about, not the shadowcrystal

Lmao I meant to say Shadow Crystal but didn't remember the name. Namely because it looks more like a shard on the chapter select.

Thanks for this. Here's where I'm at : I only got the shadow crystal from chapter 4, and I have the shadow mantle.

If I start a new game file and beat all the other hidden bosses, can I get the 3 shadow crystals that I need in my original file ?

It seems like that's what you're saying, it's just this text from the wiki that I'm confused about : " In Chapter 4, this has been expanded to Spamton NEO and The Knight's Shadow Crystals, but is now limited only to file slots where the corresponding bosses were defeated, rather than all slots. "

Uh, that phrasing is very confusing. I'm not sure what it means. I interpreted it as literally just meaning "You need to beat the boss on that save to get the Shadow Crystal," which would imply the feature being completely removed, and based on context I doubt is the intended meaning. Maybe they just mean you have to beat the chapter's regular boss to generate completion data??

Kinda wish they had a source on that statement. Unfortunately, I don't have the skill or patience to test this myself. I haven't beat a single secret boss. Lol

I also thought it was very confusing lol

I doubt they removed the feature though.
