Activating the genocide route [closed]

Activating the genocide route [closed] - Red arrow pointer to hiking trail

So I just finished true pacifist route, and I planned on doing the genocide route now. I understood that I must keep killing monsters until the "But nobody came" text comes and music changes, so i kept killing. I also slaughtered the dummy and the froggit that appeared during Toriel's "walkthrough", but it doesn't matter how many monsters I kill, the route wont activate. I have some questions about it.

1.Am I allowed to "kill" Napstablook if the genocide route is not activated yet?

2.Am I allowed to leave the first room (you know, with the monster candy room and a leaf pile in it)I left it and saved my file at the mouse hole part, but if I'm not allowed to exit the first room I guess I screwed up.

3.Can I complete the genocide route after a true reset? Or do I have to complete the neutral route first?

[Obvious Genocide route spoilers below]

To get on the Genocide route, you have to actively hunt for as many monsters as you can find. That means you have to kill not just the scripted monster encounters (such as the Froggit or Napstablook) but also a certain number of random monster encounters. Additionally, you have to make sure you kill enough monsters before you fight the boss of the area. For the Ruins, this is Toriel. Papyrus is the boss of Snowdin, Undyne for Waterfall, and Metatton NEO for Hotlands. If you don't kill enough monsters before killing the boss, you will get shifted to the Neutral route.

After you kill enough monsters in the Ruins (you'll know you've killed enough when you get the "But nobody came" message), all future save points will show you how many monsters you still need to kill for the current region you are in. Once you've killed enough monsters, the save points will simply say "Determination.".

As long as you follow these rules, you should stay on Genocide route.

How do you activate genocide route?

You can start a genocide run whatever you did in your previous runs. To activate a genocide run, you first have to kill all the enemies present in the Ruins (a total of 20 enemies). When you will do so, the message "But nobody came" will appear during your next battle, as you said.

How do I reset my genocide route?

This open the "Roaming" folder in "Appdata" Back out of "Roaming" into the Appdata folder, then open the "Local" folder. Find and open the "Undertale" folder and delete "system_information_962" or "system_information_963" from that folder. Open up Steam and Undertale and the game will have completely reset!

Can you reset after genocide run?

When you get to the end of the game on a genocide run, the fallen child will appear and offer you a chance to reset the game at the cost of your soul. If you accept, the game will reset. If you refuse, the fallen child will kill you and force quit the game.

Does anything happen if you complete the true ending then do a genocide route?

The only difference is at the end Chara will say you have a "perverted sentimentality" for wanting to go back and play the genocide route again, then they'll encourage you to do a different route if you decide to playthrough the game again.

Answer 2

Well Alex if in Snowdin the SAVE point says "That comedian..." that means you have to go to Snowdin Forest and knock off Snowdrake. Not doing so will push you onto a Neutral route.

Answer 3

To answer all of your questions:

  1. You can 'kill' Napsta in the Genocide Run. You have to kill all scripted battles, though, and take out Snowdrake in Snowdin Forest along with a number of random encounters. Note that you don't have to kill EVERY monster, just enough to get the 'but nobody came' message in each area - this way, you could actively hunt for those with high EXP.
  2. Yes, you can, but you must not fight Toriel until you get the 'but nobody came' message in the Ruins.
  3. You can complete the Genocide Run as your first run without needing to do a Neutral Run first.
