As of right now, the first two chapters are out and you can try them out for free! The Underground awaits Will you show monsters standing in your way MERCY, or slaughter them all? Their only weapon being their DETERMINATION as they try to FIGHT or ACT their way out. Hey there! This is a alternate route that you can achieve if your previous play through was a Genocide route and not a Neutral route.UNDERTALE is an indie RPG created by developer Toby Fox about a child, who falls into an underworld filled with monsters. There are some differences that are interesting. Let's get started!ĪLERT! SPOILERS ARE AHEAD! TREAD WITH CAUTION! However, there really isn't much to say about this route so I'll get right into it. You achieve a Soulless Pacifist route the same way you would a True Pacifist route with one difference: in your previous play through you should've done a Genocide route. Other than that one difference, just do what you'd normally do to achieve a pacifist route. The differences that stand out to me are the end credits. If the protagonist chooses to stay with Toriel, when they are in bed, they will roll over revealing red eyes. If the protagonist chooses to leave Toriel, in the picture all of the monsters' faces will have a red X over it. The protagonist looks like Chara instead of Frisk in this instance as well. There are other differences but they really do not stand out to me enough to mention them.Undertale has some well-defined religious themes running through it. For instance, souls are real, tangible things in Undertale, and a major part of the plot involves a prophecy about an angel who will descend into the Underground and empty it out (see: The Harrowing of Hell). ![]() There’s also a rumor (unconfirmed) that Toby Fox initially planned to call the Underground the Underworld, but decided that was a little too on-the-nose. Regardless, the parallel between the Underground and Hell isn’t too hard to draw: a world below the human world to which the monsters were banished and trapped for eternity. One of the last bosses you face in Undertale is Asgore Dreemurr, the king of the Underground. Asgore is a tall, broad-shouldered monster with goat horns who fights using a bright red trident, a weapon that closely resembles a pitchfork the imagery here is obvious. However, it turns out that Asgore is actually a very kind being trapped in an impossible situation, and so the devil parallel gets turned on its head. The angelic and demonic imagery associated with the Dreemurr family could be a whole article in itself, but that’s not what I’m here to discuss. It’s not Asgore, and no, it’s not Flowey either. ![]() The devil in the Underground is the first human to fall into it, the nameless character most commonly known as Chara. So how does one get the devil from this character? Pretty easily, actually, by studying the little information we’re given. You can get some clues on the Pacifist route, though you don’t encounter Chara except on a Genocide run. What we do know is that Chara fell into the Underground a long time ago and became friends with Asriel, who was Asgore’s son and the prince of the monsters. They came up with a plan for Asriel to absorb Chara’s soul, cross the barrier, and collect the remaining six human souls they needed to break the barrier and free the monsters. Incidentally, a monster who absorbs seven human souls essentially becomes a god, and it’s likely that at that point Asriel could have destroyed humanity by himself. Luckily for (almost) everyone, it didn’t work out that way. Asriel crossed the barrier, but he resisted Chara’s influence and refused to kill the humans. The humans attacked him and he crossed back into the Underground, where he died of his injuries and both of their souls were lost. So there is some pretty solid evidence that something’s not right here. UNDERTALE SOULLESS PACIFIST DIFFERENCES FREEĬhara, a human, comes up with a plan to kill six humans and free the monsters. That would almost certainly reignite the war between the two races, and lead to a lot of death on both sides. You’re given a choice whether to erase the entire world of Undertale or not, but it’s not a real choice. Chara will destroy the world no matter what you decide. If you choose not to destroy the world, Chara merely takes that as an opportunity to gloat over your powerlessness before going through with it anyway. It's the only interaction you have with Chara, and it's a lie.
