How do get Genocide in Hard Mode? - Grey Wall

I tried Genocide several times without killing 20 monsters (I didn't know I had to kill a certain amount) and it didn't work, obviously. But I'm doing it now in hard mode and I swear I have combed every inch of every room! It feels like I've already killed 20, but I still can't get the "But Nobody Came." Hard mode adds even more monsters, right? So why isn't it working??



Best Answer

There are two separate issues here:

  1. Genocide normally requires a completely unreasonable amount of grinding. It is not meant to be possible to trigger accidentally. Touching every single tile on the map is neither necessary nor sufficient; you need to walk continuously (in whatever direction you like) until you have randomly triggered enough encounters. Speedrunners usually use a technique where the protagonist can be made to rapidly oscillate between walking north and south while facing a wall, which (reportedly) causes encounters to happen more frequently because you are taking more steps per unit time. If you want to be sure that you are meeting all of its requirements, you may need to count kills explicitly, rather than just assuming that visiting all corners of the map is good enough.
  2. Hard Mode is not a complete game mode. It ends after the Ruins, with the Annoying Dog's dialog suggesting that it's basically a demo. I'm not sure if the Genocide route is even implemented in Hard Mode. Even if it is, you won't get any further than the Ruins, because the rest of the game is not implemented even for the Neutral Route.

How do I get Undertale hard mode?

Hard Mode is an optional difficulty-enhancing game mode, triggered by naming the fallen human "Frisk". Similarly to the Undertale Demo, Hard Mode lasts only until the end of the Ruins. It consists of slight dialogue changes, and much more difficult enemy encounters.

How do you activate the genocide route in Undertale?

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.

Can you continue Undertale after hard mode?

Undertale. Hard mode only has the ruins atm. You cant continue what you ended.
