When an area has been exterminated, Save Points in that area will say “Determination.”
From Snowdin onwards, Save Points will tell you how many more monsters need to be killed in that particular area.It’s strongly recommended that you grind random encounters ASAP after entering a new area, as your Genocide run will be rendered null if you venture too far ahead without exhausting that area of random encounters. Failing to do this will invalidate a Genocide run. Don’t let yourself get off track, though you will need to repeat the grinding process in every major area. That means you need to get the “But nobody came” message in Snowdin, Waterfall, and Hotland. Persevering in Your Murderous RampageĪlthough you’ve probably already noticed quite a few changes, the real fun of Genocide mode begins in Snowdin. You are now free to continue through the Ruins, murder Toriel in cold blood, and continue onto the rest of the underground. As you continue to grind, the random encounter rate will gradually drop until you’re only getting around one encounter every minute.Ĭontinue grinding encounters in this area until you get the encounter below:īy getting this encounter, you have initiated the Genocide route. Whenever you trigger a random encounter, kill all monsters.
Stay in this room and walk around to grind random encounters. Starting your Genocide Crusade™Īfter waking up in the Ruins, progress with the game as usual until you reach the room with a Save Point in the leaves. This area allows the player to have random encounters with monsters. Crucial plot elements and gameplay will be radically altered in ways that won’t make sense without the context that a normal run gives. You are strongly discouraged from doing a Genocide run for your first play through. WARNING: The Genocide route is not for players who are new to Undertale. This guide will not cover tactics for enemies, help you “make the right choices”, or otherwise dictate your playstyle.
This guide will cover how to begin a Genocide run and maintain it to the grisly end. Going on a genocide crusade will introduce innumerous changes to Undertale’s plot and gameplay, providing a morbidly unique experience for anyone determined enough to go forward with it. It’s recommended that you never Spare period, though.
Sparing can NEVER be done on major characters at any point. Using Spare to successfully end a boss fight (or a non-recurring fight, such as Greater Dog) will immediately invalidate a Genocide run.
Doing a Genocide run entails killing every possible monster through a specific series of actions.
