Papyrus fight glitch or something
Okay. So I am at least 3 minutes into papyrus's fight and no blue attack. This is my 6th pacifist so I'm not sure what's going on. I've never been able to finish a genocide cause I refuse to kill papyrus. Why won't the blue attack happen? Is it part of the game or a glitch?
Best Answer
Have you attempted either the FIGHT or MERCY option during your fight?
In my experience, many return players remember choosing to flirt with Papyrus as the trigger for the second phase of the fight. However, the Flirt dialogue isn't enough to progress the fight to the second stage - he won't do a blue attack until you've attempted either FIGHT or MERCY then SPARE, so if you continually select ACT or ITEM (like the Flirt or Insult dialogues) menu options the fight will stay on the red soul phase and never progress.

How do you beat the fight with Papyrus?
Sparing Papyrus aborts the Genocide Route. After his "Completely Normal Attack", Papyrus's defense is set to his current HP times negative two. It is possible to attack him without instantly killing him, but the only way to do this is by using the Tough Glove and only confirming the attack once rather than four times.How do you skip the fight with Papyrus?
Spare Papyrus for a couple of turns, then Flirt with him, and then attempt to Spare him for the remainder of the fight. The first phase of his attacks will involve some easy to dodge bones - just watch out for the blue ones and remember to stop moving.How many times do you have to fight Papyrus?
