![]() ![]() But in Neutral? There’s no Toriel to fix things. She refuses to let anyone else die and ultimately stops the fight, saving both Frisk and Asgore. In the Pacifist ending, Toriel completes her character arc by overcoming her fear and facing her past. But coming back to it after doing a Pacifist ending is even worse. It also serves to parallel how your journey began and ended, both times pitted against one of the Dreemurrs, whose tragic history has led them to a fight that neither of you want. And now, more than anything, he just wanted to see his children again.Ĭonsidering Asgore’s history with Toriel is a huge part of his character, reprising her theme as part of his vain hope to see her again makes sense. As much as he wanted to give the other monsters hope, he was sick of taking lives. He never wanted to go through with the attack on humanity. Maybe it’s because he’s reminded of the other fallen humans when he looks at Frisk? Maybe it’s because of how much Frisk looks so much like Chara? Or maybe it’s to give Frisk a chance to finish him off. Considering how quickly he offers up his soul when he loses, it’s not hard to assume Asgore wanted to lose. Because he can’t bear to look at what he’s doing. He uses wide ranging area of effect attacks that don’t require aiming. Throughout the whole fight, he never looks at you. Much like Toriel, Asgore is also holding back. Asgore’s fight just feels the most complete.Īnd there’s so much more in terms of great subtle storytelling here. #PIANO NOTES FOR MEMORY UNDERTALE TRIAL#The other final bosses are mostly in the Mother tradition of semi-scripted fights driven moreso by emotion (or alternatively, intentionally frustrating trial and error). Regardless whether you played Pacifist or not, it still feels like a good final test of whatever skills you were relying on throughout your playthrough. You can just fight Asgore head on, but proper use of the ACT system can also make the fight much easier. I’m also amazed how well balanced this fight is despite how wildly your level can change based on your playstyle. The fact that he shatters the MERCY button because he feels he doesn’t deserve mercy. The way your meeting with him is filled with this sense of melancholy and dread as both you and he both know that neither of you wanted this to happen. The buildup where you’re given a twofold image of a kind-hearted, gentle, beloved ruler and that of a king with blood on his hands. There’s just so much good stuff going on this fight. thinking about how gerson is located in waterfall with the weird titan looking statue and the river person who hears the same "old song coming from the sea" as dr onionsan and goner clam girl and all those themes of memory and history and ghosts and thinking about how you never see gerson outside his shop and thinking about gerson knowing enough about the game mechanics to know you can't fight him in his shop and saying "knowledge like that is the only reason i've survived this long" and how gaster is also meta-aware and his knowledge is the only reason gerson couldn't live happily in deltarune and thinking about how gerson is an anagram of goners. and how it spat in his family's faces and took their loved one from them just to replace a man who wasn't there and thinking about "is it right for this hammer to." and thinking about alvin being a priest and devoted to service to the angel and thinking about how gerson is the one who tells us the delta rune's meaning in undertale and tells us about the "angel of death" and the prophecy and how he just thinks the circle looks neat. Thinking about how in undertale alphys is gaster's successor and she's taking the place of an undeniable genius who changed the lives of hundreds but who is now gone and how in deltarune alphys is gerson's successor and how she's replacing an undeniable genius whose work changed the lives of hundreds but who is now gone and how gaster cannot be in deltarune because he is outside it, controlling it, supervising it, and how the universe therefore looked for a replacement for him- the "alphys' genius predecessor" character- with what it had and it chose gerson almost at random and put him in a role he didn't really need to fit in because all he had to do was die. ![]()
