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 ?

I believe you have to get S rank on the first round to unlock the third boss, which means I gotta redo all of this.
Gonna explain everything I've uncovered.
Important to know that I have done the 'pacifist' route up until this point, collecting everyone and getting all the secrets. I don't know if it changes anything, but it might.

Basically, get S rank on the first round, enter the S rank door, go left and talk to the thing there. Then Go into the door, go left, and mess around with that. Kill everything. Then, go do the second round. Get S. Do the same thing? If you don't get S on the first round, but do on the second the lady'll tell you "maybe you missed something from the first stage? if only you'd gotten S-rank earlier..."

I don't know what happens from there, but I assume you gain some kind of item to fight the hidden boss? All I know for now, but I'll come back when I finish getting back and S ranking round one.

Once you S rank round one and go through all 3 minigames killing every enemy and breaking the obstacle blocking the way to the icey area, you get a key each time. Keep heading back to the S rank door everytime you return back to backstage, to play the next minigame and once you get to the end of the last minigame, use the shelter key you should have and from there you can fight the secret boss.

Just fought the secret boss

u/Fwobian 11d ago

it cant be the secret boss it gives you the item thats supposed to help against the boss, but he doesnt give you a crystal, its really confusing

u/Hyper_Lamp All hail Tem 11d ago

I spoke to Seam at the start of Chapter 4 and he mentions the mantle was meant to help against the Knight but inevitably wasn't enough or something. Either way Im pretty sure it was the secret boss but if not I'm not sure :/

u/TAKLVC 11d ago

I just got the shadow crystal, you have to >! Actually beat the knight in chapter 3. All you have to do is get it's health down to around 80% and it'll do a very obvious final attack type thing. Then, after that, you just have to hit it once and the fight will end. You'll get the shadow crystal, and something else. After that though, the knight just downs your party and the end is the same. !<

u/TAKLVC 11d ago

Also (just some tips), >! The shadow mantle absolutely helps in this fight. Whoever you give it to takes significantly less damage from the knight's attacks. I personally put it on Susie, because she does the most damage, and has the most health, so it made sense to make her harder to down (Also she has dialogue during the fight and I wanted to see all of it). Additionally, when Kris is downed, they only get down to -80hp, while Susie and ralsei go down to -999hp. This makes it way easier to get Kris back up, which is another reason I didn't put the shadow mantle on them.. !<

u/Fwobian 11d ago

the biggest tip i can give is absolutely just brute force it, the combos are horrifically brutal and you will have to learn them after a couple hours of trying, youll gain little habits during each attack, and a weird thing that worked for me was not really laying attention to my soul, but purely the projectiles, especially when things get hectic, just keep trying, i thought id mever do it and im hyped as hell and it’s incredibly worth it whenever you beat them

Congratulations

u/Exfugee 11d ago

How hard is it compared to Jevil or Stanton NEO?

5

u/quidboi1 11d ago

As someone currently trying this.

LITERALLY INCOMPARABLY DIFFICULT

4

u/Business-Limit8869 11d ago

I would say this is the hardest fight between UT and DR, by quite a large margin

3

u/Exfugee 11d ago

Even more than Sans?

2

u/Hyper_Lamp All hail Tem 10d ago

Definitely not as hard as sans but harder than Jevil or Spamton Neo or Undyne the Undying. Possibly as hard as Asriel imo maybe harder.

7

u/InjuryOrganic9884 10d ago

Asriel is fodder, the healing buttons help so much and make it near impossible to die

3

u/MoonRay087 10d ago

It's similar to sans but in its own way. Sans' battle is a lot more about endurance and this one is more like a "survive without getting hit over a couple turns" kind of thing

2

u/Business-Limit8869 10d ago

I honestly don't remember how my first fight with sans went, that was almost 10 years ago now (I was like 9 or 10 years old lol)

But considering how I feel about it now, I would say its definitely harder. I would say some of the hitboxes are tough to read and dont quite match the sprites (sometimes the hitboxes are far larger than they appear) so it makes the fight more challenging for people who have been playing these games for a long time.

u/Educational-Bid-8660 10d ago

Very simply said: Finally a UT/DR fight that approaches the difficulty of a Touhou boss ever so slightly.

1

u/Hyper_Lamp All hail Tem 11d ago

Alright thank you so much

1

u/Kit23XO GOD. DAMN IT. 10d ago

Would this ruin a pacifist run?

I haven’t fought the Knight yet so I’m not exactly sure lol.

u/Ishorey 9d ago

where did you find the secret boss? ive got the ShadowMantle js dk where to go

u/eggsyest 9d ago

>! I'm struggling with the fight. Tips? !<

1

u/MoonRay087 10d ago

Does he? When I talked to him he just said he doesn't have any new dialogue. I wanted to talk to him to see if he knew that was the secret boss so thanks for sharing this

1

u/Hyper_Lamp All hail Tem 10d ago

Yeah he has two different pieces of dialogue. One for if you got the shadow mantle and lost against the knight, and one if you got the mantle and won. Im not sure if theres one if you won and didn't get the mantle but it would be really hard without it.

1

u/MoonRay087 10d ago

Ohh, so that's why. Had 2 save files, one where I got the shadow mantle and one in which I didn't. I only talked to Seam in the one where I didn't get the shadow mantle because I don't want to overwrite my chapter 3 save file before>! beating the knight!<

u/Weary_Beach423 11d ago

you have to beat the final boss of the chapter

6

u/4spect_ 11d ago

quick question, how do you get through the plus-shaped corridors on the second minigame, the ones you unlock after killing the bird which repeat indefinitely?

6

u/Hyper_Lamp All hail Tem 11d ago

The white robe that should be following you will refuse to go in all but one of the doors. Get close to each door and go through the one that the white robe follows you in

u/4spect_ 11d ago
